    They could always take a page from the pulp magazine playbook and publish the "continuing adventures of____". It seems like science fiction short stories of that nature, featuring the continuing adventures of a particular hero have fallen by the wayside, in the 1920s and 30s its how the pulps built their readership.

    Ditch print media. Magazines could offer some kindle-type e-book with every 2-3 year subscription they sell. The yearly cost of printing a magazine subscription is roughly the same as the cost of kindle.

    p.s. I know kindles suck, but Google and hopefully Apple will be coming out with competition that will not suck.

    That's some astounding tail..

    Seriously though, I'm kinda surprised Sci-Fi hasn't already been leading the way for everyone else, out of print into digital media formats.

    "Tentacles from Below"? I didn't know anime was around during the 1930s. Oh wait, they meant "below the ocean." Silly me. #bookvortex

    Please allow me to get all spammy for a moment and mention my old friend Nathan Shumate's Lovecraftian inspired ARKHAM TALES, easily one of the better webzines out there.

    [www.arkhamtales.com]

    Yes, he pays, but he's a serious stickler for QUALITY fiction. #pubilshing

    @Golem100: It's one of the most professional-looking that you'll run across. After a year, I think Nathan might be considering letting it die. The interest in the latest issue is down, but I can attest that that isn't due to a lack of quality.

    If you know of anyone who mind dig it, please pass the word along. #pubilshing

    Scalzi's blog post was a fascinating read. I can't believe that rates have been the same for 90 years! I'm glad I gave up on that whole writing thing and went into computers. Yeesh. #pubilshing

    If anyone can save dystopian fiction, John Joseph Adams can. He's consistently produced my favorite anthologies. Hot damn, a website too!

    So... by the time I've finished reading this article, it's already 100 years old, yah? /lame lightspeed joke #publishing

    "A logic named Joe". Murray Leinster, 1946. About a home logic (computer) connected to other logics in other homes through phone-like lines to share data (servers on the Internet) who becomes a problem when it begins to correlate separate pieces of information in dangerous forms (AskJeeves meets the Anarchist Cookbook).
