Finding hard scifi is so hard. Most of science fiction is purely the realm of science fantasy.

#22I always love to get some fresh Science Fiction stories and just pledged my support on Patreon.
I sincerely hope your stories won't be bland (Haven't read the first issue yet).
As a longtime Escapepod listener and supported I love how diverse and creative the stories can get, once you move away from the classical Spaceship & Lasergun stuff.

#26Awesome stuff and I plan on submitting some stories in future. I am more than pleased to see you creating a further avenue for writers, and sci-fi in particular, to get their work into as many eyeballs as possible.
Definitely another thumbs up for paying six cents per word even when you're just getting your feet off the ground.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would you consider distributing the magazine (including subscriptions) via Weightless Books [1]? They are also handing lots of other magazines like Clarkesworld, Locus, NYRSF, etc. [1] https://weightlessbooks.com/
I would certainly consider it, I'll check out their terms. Thanks for pointing them out! We want to get our stories out to as many readers as possible, so we're looking at many different channels.
Please consider adopting some of the emerging trends in sharing, such as IPFS.io, too. It would be amazing to know your works are always available through such a system ..

#28Love the concept, good sci-fi is hard to come by. Design thought: the reading experience would be vastly improved by a larger font size and shorter line length. See https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/ or similar for inspiration.
I had design/reading issue with 90% of pages, so I just use "Clearly", extension for a browser. I use white on black, bit letters etc.
And it fixes whole web, not just 1 site.
