Every calendar month , you ’re need to contribute to tons of worthy causes andcrowdfunding task . But this month ’s most worthy call for crowdfunding support is n’t a new project — it ’s the longest running non - profit science fabrication magazine on the Web , Strange Horizons , which ishaving its annual fundraising thrust . If you love skillful fable , this cartridge deserves your cash .
As Alastair Reynolds ( whocontributed the above house painting to the magazine ’s fundraising elbow grease ) writes , “ foreign Horizonsis one of the safe places on the cyberspace for intelligent and informed discussion about the literatures of the fantastic , and we ’re lucky to have it . ”
Strange Horizons has been paying its contributor professional rates for a dozen years — have in mind that getting publish in this magazine gets you as near to “ pro ” status in SFWA as one of the “ bountiful three ” digest magazines . But the editor in chief and staff of Strange Horizons do n’t get make up at all . They volunteer their time , and work insanely toilsome to keep the fiction and non - fiction they publish unique and intriguing . ( Full revealing : I’vehad my fiction publishedin Strange Horizons a few clip . )
Maybe because Strange Horizons is non - profit — unlike most of the other pro SF mags online — the magazine can take more risks sometimes . I ’ve definitely read a ton of fiction in Strange Horizons that might have been too odd or too far off the beaten running for most other fable publishing company . Strange Horizons has helped to launch the calling of a lot of your favorite author , and it ’s done so while also publishing a significant number of terrific level by writers who were only ever published that one time in Strange Horizons .
In any case , if you care about inadequate scientific discipline fable , and want to read more news report that challenge and flummox you , then you really ought tokick in some money for the great Strange Horizons . You ’ll be helping to make science fabrication good .
