   I just had a story published by "Perihelion Online Science Fiction Magazine.    
   Prior to submitting the story to them, I had thought the story perfect for   
   Analog, and had submitted it to them.  Analog sat on the story for seven   
   months!! (7 months!!!!)

   E-zines and web-zines are great because they have "world-wide distribution."    
   The first fan letter I ever got was from New Zealand, for crying out loud.

   However, the point is to get your fiction out so others can read it.
