As a long time HN lurker, I created this account just to directly thank you for the amazing work you've put into the first issue. I loved it so much and I'm going to recommend it to all my friends who read sci-fi.

I loved the fact that you are so reachable via HN and e-mail, and I loved the positive discussions about the first issue on HN. The blog and the 'behind the scenes' posts are a really great idea. I sincerely hope the magazine grows and becomes self sustaining. Quick question: if I subscribed to the magazine by e-mail, would I automatically receive notifications of new blog posts, or do I manually have to check your blog from time to time? I searched for a subscribe button for the blog but couldn't find any. Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I absolutely love the podcast idea! Can't wait for the next issue!

I really appreciate the kind words! Google analytics can only tell me how many people are reading -- feedback like yours is the only way that I can tell how much real impact the magazine is creating.

Right now there's just the one email list, and I'll send out updates to that list for all issue releases and blog posts. The frequency of posts is low enough that I don't feel like it warrants a new list. That could change in the future, but I'll definitely be vocal about changes when they occur.

Perfect! Thanks for the clarification
