I'm one of the guys trying to make this fly. We're trying really hard to create a quality product that people will consider a good value. We really don't know how to get it out to the people outside our own facebook and twitter contacts.
If you checked out our first issue, I hope you enjoyed it. I wrote the story "Ruby's Child" and narrated another on the audio titled "Affinity"
Thanks again.

Hi Philip,
Welcome to MobileRead. I was glad to point people on this forum to something that might interest them. Lots of SF/fantasy lovers on these boards.
I'm also a big fan of self-publishing endeavors. We used to be able to find these kinds of mags all over the place. It's no secret that venues for short stories are disappearing all the time, and the book publishing industry is getting worse and worse.
I hope the explosion of ebook readers that we've seen this year will continue and open up new publishing possibilities for work that we wouldn't see otherwise.
This is a great place to keep up on developments in the world of ebook readers (and thus potential readers for your mag that you might not have considered). Also, are you aware of
Smashwords? I think it's a popular self-publishing site. They do take a percentage of all sales, but I think it's a reasonable percentage. If you do a search for "magazine" on the site, you'll even find some in the SF/fantasy genre and can take a look at what they're doing. It might be worth considering as a way to expose your mag to potential readers, especially since they can offer the publication in multiple ebook formats (for instance, for Kindle devices).
Good luck with Flagship!
Rainbow
