thank you so much for reading! ML is correct of course - the entire issue was available for purchase (and to subscribers) on Dec 1; it just went "free to read" later.

Reading for awards? I encourage you to browse through the stories & poetry in the three issues of Fantasy Magazine we published in 2025. Hugos, Nebulas, Locus, SFPAs, and others: these works are all eligible! I know the authors would love it if you give them a glance.

there's so much hate in this country.

folks who benefit the most from that hate truly love it when marginalized people target, marginalize, and hate each other.

48 million and 32 million are much stronger as 80 million ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

support each other as much as you can. listen; learn.

be kind to yourself.

Whether it's Locus or something else, it's critical to support the mags you love in whatever ways you can! Financially, signal boosting, etc. Even talking up a publication at events/conventions can help! Of course: money is ALWAYS nice....

Do what's right for you to help the publications you love.

This is possibly the most brutal review I've ever read. I'm not one for negativity, but there is a point at which negativity becomes so incandescent for such good reason that it manages to uplift rather than depress. "Wow," you say, dazzled at the human capacity for righteous verbal violence.
