alanajoliI may have mentioned here before the nifty zine SpaceWesterns.com. They're a great zine dedicated to expanding the "genre of the frontier" (which I'm convinced is the best way to talk about a Western due to some conversations on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coffeeem's journal last month) into science fiction. They've done interviews with Keith R. A. DeCandido, who did the novelization of Serenity, featured short stories by C. J. Henderson, and generally put together a really neat collection of articles and fiction related to the final frontier. The other super cool thing they're doing is combining regular text with podcasting--most of their interviews are posted in audio.
Right now they're in the midst of a publicity drive, trying to grow their audience, their subscribers, and their media attention. Though I suspect my little blog won't send them a lot of traffic, I'm always a fan of plugging the nifty sites I visit online. It's also likely that the C&A team will be featured in upcoming issues, so subscribe early and be on the inside track. (Subscribing basically means giving them your e-mail address; all their content is free.)
For you writers out there--this is also a paying market. Their current rates are 1/2 cent per word, which, for an internet zine that readers don't pay to subscribe to, is actually pretty darn high.
So, you know, check 'em out.
