Now, a more cynical person than me might wonder if Mr. Lapine's offer is part of an effort to mend some fences after last week's flame-war that wasn't a flame war about Realms of Fantasy covers.

Frankly, my dears, I don't give a damn. I don't care why Warren Lapine made this offer. The important thing is that he gets taken up on it. Anything that helps promote the smaller magazines is a good thing for us non-professionally paid writers.
I already copied the above link to Hildy Silverman at Space And Time magazine. If you know anyone at a non-professional paying sci-fi/fantasy/horror publication, please spread the word.
Speaking of Space And Time, here's the cover pick from the latest issue.
I don't know about you, but I love that dragon. It reminds me of something out of a 1980's video game

Also, if you missed my interview with S&T's Hildy Silverman last month, she just did one with Mike Ventrella.
