   Evelyn C. Leeper to All   
   F&SF Magazine (Finally!)

   I asked a while ago if anyone had gotten the new issue of F&SF.   
   Apparently a few people have posted on social media that their copies   
   arrived at their homes in the last few days.   
      
   None of them seem to have been lifetime subscribers, however, and what   
   the new owners' policy towards those is remains to be seen. The ones   
   I've heard from all seem to think that the magazine isn't what it was,   
   the cover of this issue looks like they skimped on the ink, their   
   policies toward authors is abysmal, and $12.99 per issue (or $46.95 for   
   four issues--assuming it lasts that long) certainly isn't worth it.
