4:21 pm [shsilver]	October/November issue Not only is the October/November issue the double issue, it is also whole number 666: the issue of the beast. And yet Gordon didn't make it an all post-apocalyptic issue (even so, it has a great line-up). (Comment on this)

4:48 am [shsilver]	The Neighbor of the Beast Received my copy of the September issue of F&SF yesterday, which includes a Ted Chiang story, "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," which I read and reviewed several months ago (it is also being published by Subterranean Press). It is a story by Ted Chiang, which means you should go forth and read it. In the process of looking through the table of contents, I noticed that this is issue number 665 of F&SF, and so wonder if Gordon will commemorate October as 666 month. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:22 pm [calico_reaction]	REVIEW: Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction: May 2007 Issue Finally got around to reading and finishing the May 2007 issue of F & SF. And for once, I actually wrote up detailed reviews of each piece instead of just sounding off, so I'm a little proud of myself. ;) Anyway, it's a good issue, worth picking up. The review's in my LJ, if anyone's interested. As always, comments and discussion are most welcome. REVIEW: Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction: May 2007 Authors Include: Ian R. MacLeod K.D.

3:40 pm [calico_reaction]	REVIEW: F&SF April 2007 Issue Finally finished reading the April 2007 issue of F&SF, which happens to be a special Gene Wolfe issue. Wolfe's story alone is worth the price of this, and Levine's story is cute. Review's at my LJ, if anyone's interested. As always, comments and discussion are most welcome. :) REVIEW: April 2007 Issue Happy Reading! (Comment on this)

7:15 pm [calico_reaction]	REVIEW: Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction: March 2007 Just finished the March 2007 issue of F&SF. It was a bomb for me, but most of the stories weren't to my taste either, and with a mag like F&SF, it's bound to happen. The review's in my LJ, if anyone's interested. As always, comments and discussion are welcome. REVIEW: F&SF March 2007 Issue Authors Include: Matthew Hughes Fred Chappell Ron Goulart Robert Reed M. Rickert Happy Reading! (Comment on this)

10:09 pm [jaguarpaddler]	Writer Interviews Heidi Ruby Miller ambasadora has begun a thrice-weekly series of writer interviews. Monday she sent Canadian SF author Nalo Hopkinson nalobloggera series of questions and asked her to answer only six. It's an interesting notion, the idea that the questions the writer chooses to answer are as telling as the ones the writer doesn't. Tomorrow it's horror writer, Scott A. Johnson (http://www.americanhorrorwriter.com/). She'll be posting three writers a week from a variety of genres. (One SF author refused to pick only six, and answered all twenty. Stay posted to see who.) Heidi Ruby Miller, Nalo Hopkinson, ambasadora, Scott A. Johnson Cross posted to jaguarpaddler (Comment on this)

6:13 pm [calico_reaction]	REVIEW: Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction: Feb. 2007 Issue Just finished reading the February 2007 issue of F & SF, which I have to say, for only having five stories, it's a pretty strong issue. Reviews are in my journal, if anyone's interested. As always, comments and discussion are always welcome. :) REVIEW: F & SF February 2007 Issue Authors Include: Matthew Hughes Alexander Jablokov John Morressy William Browning Spencer S.L. Gilbow Happy Reading! (Comment on this)

3:36 pm [calico_reaction]	Best of 2006 So I had this RANDOM idea...if I could put together an anthology using only the stories that appeared in the 2006 issues of F & SF, which stories would I pick and why? So...here's my choices for this hypothetical anthology. The links take you to my initial thoughts on them. ( Favorite 2006 F & SF Stories ) If you had to create a "Best of 2006" anthology for F & SF, what stories would you pick? No limit to the number, so don't be shy. :) (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:36 pm [calico_reaction]	Review: September 2006 Issue I'm finally caught up on all my issues of F&SF! :) I'm so proud. Well, I should be ashamed for not reading these as I got them, and I solemnly swear to correct that from this point on. :) Anyway, the review for the September 2006 issue is in my LJ if anybody's interested.

7:47 pm [calico_reaction]	Review: August 2006 Issue So I'm starting to think I'd like to have the option of the following: for the writers who don't exactly write "serial" stories for this mag but do consistently publish short stories in this mag using the same character/group of characters, I'd love to have the option of reading the previous adventures on F & SF's site, and for free (or as a perk of being a subscriber). This way, I wouldn't feel so left out when I read the bio for a story that explains when we previous saw said characters, especially when said previous is two, three, or five years ago. Does anyone know if this is possible? Anyway, just finished the August 2006 issue, and I've got the review in my LJ, if anyone's interested. REVIEW: August 2006 Issue Authors Include: Chris Willrich Carolyn Ives Gilman (loved this story!) Christopher Rowe Ken Altabef Albert E. Cowdrey Robert Loy Robert Reed Terry Bisson As always, comments and discussion are always welcome. Happy Reading! :) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:18 pm [calico_reaction]	Review: July 2006 Issue Ah, the infamous issue offered for free to anyone who agreed to blog about it. I know a few of you in the comm did this, but I think overall, the experiment wasn't much of a success. Well, hopefully lots of you read this, and much discussion can be had. :) The review's in my journal for anyone interested. :) REVIEW: July 2006 Issue Authors Include: Ysabeau S. Wilce R. Garcia y Robertson Steven Popkes Terry Bisson Matthew Hughes Robert Onopa Jerry Seeger Heather Lindsley As always, comments and discussion are always welcome. Happy Reading! :) (Comment on this)

7:25 pm [calico_reaction]	Review: June 2006 Issue Just finished the June 2006 issue, where I found I enjoyed the shorter, more light-hearted pieces more than the longer, more serious ones. Oh well. :) Review's at my journal, if anyone's interested. REVIEW: June 2006 Issue Authors Include: Laird Barron Albert E. Cowdrey Gardner Dozois John Morressy Tim McDaniel C.S. Friedman As always, comments and discussion are always welcome. Happy Reading! :) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:37 pm [calico_reaction]	Review: April 2006 Issue I wasn't too pleased with this issue, and if it hadn't been for O'Keefe's story, this issue would've been a total bomb for me. Oh well.
