This is excellent, Andrew. I want to use Astrolabe as a way to life up other voices and signal boost, so I appreciate the insight you've got here, and might do something similar.
Ah, thanks for the heads-up about Babylon 5. I'm looking forward to checking that out. I was wanting to do a selective re-watch after the news of Mira Furlan's death on the 20th -- her final message on her website is as beautiful and eloquent an epitaph as one could hope for.
And speaking of SF/F I was obsessed with in the 90s, I'm reeling between very cautious optimism and full-on fangirl enthusiasm about Netflix's casting announcements for Gaiman's The Sandman....
You'd have a clean case for appealing to people as a Best Semiprozine nominee. A publication that has some freely available issues, but the rest require a subscription, doesn't seem in the spirit of the Best Fanzine rules to me.
Great news about Babylon 5; maybe it's time for me to pick it up?
I'd love to read a future newsletter outlining the background to the High Republic books. I'm intrigued but don't quite know the background or what groundwork they're laying.
Thanks Andrew, I think the proposed changes sound great. And if anyone is on the fence about subscribing, just do it. The extra content is fantastic.
This might be a bit off topic, but maybe it can be a subscriber post at one point... I’m really interested in *how* you read, and getting your thoughts on the act of reading. You seem to prefer paper books, and obviously get through a lot of books. What are your thoughts on e-readers vs. paper books? And how do you “manage” your reading schedule? I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts on that.

And: any Charles Saunders you'd recommend?
