prusik | The magazine gods, they are a-taunting me (Reply)

One of my goals this year is to catch up on my short fiction reading. (Last year, I made the possibly dubious choice of subscribing to all of the big 3 SF magazines, then promptly fell behind.) Anyways, I'm finally at the point where I'm reading issues that correspond to the actual calendar month. Of course, in magazine time, this isn't May. This is actually July. The July issues of Asimov's and Analog arrived weeks ago. F&SF, though, stayed resolutely in May.

So, I was kind of excited yesterday morning when I got to the May issue of F&SF. I was reading my last issue of F&SF. I've cleared the backlog, right? Wrong. Yesterday afternoon, the June issue showed up. This afternoon, the July issue showed up. *sigh*

I'm waiting to see if the August issue arrives tomorrow. If this pace keeps up, maybe I'll read the story I will, one day, publish in F&SF before I will have written it!
