Lightspeed Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine is back with another Kickstarter for a themed issue. Last year they did one for Women Destroy Science Fiction!, and it was popular enough that the bonus rewards made supporting the project quite appealing. (I got all of 48 of Lightspeed's back issues, a one year sub to Lightspeed, three special issues (Women Destroy Science Fiction!, Women Destroy Fantasy!, Women Destroy Horror!) as well as credit for a couple of the fantasy and horror magazine back issues all for $40.)

This time around they're doing a special issue called Queers Destroy Science Fiction!. They've already unlocked a couple of bonus goals, one of which is this:
Quote:
If you chose a LIGHTSPEED subscription reward, you'll get LIGHTSPEED issues #1-61 (including the Queers Destroy Science Fiction! issue), and your subscription will begin with #62 (July 2015). If you already have issues #1-61, we will substitute FANTASY issues #1-58.

If you chose a NIGHTMARE subscription reward, you'll get access to NIGHTMARE issues #1-33, and your subscription will begin with #34 (July 2015). If you already have issues #1-33, we will substitute FANTASY issues #1-58.

All other reward tiers will get 3 additional back issues of LIGHTSPEED (for a total of 6), plus 3 back issues of NIGHTMARE and 3 back issues of FANTASY.
$36 will get you the following:
  • One year subscription to Lightspeed Science Fiction & Fantasy Magazine
  • All 61 back issues of Lightspeed
  • The John Joseph Adams Super Gay Sampler (ebook)
Right now that's 73 digital magazine issues and one ebook for only $36. ($0.49 each!) If you got the back issues last year, you can still get 58 back issues of the Fantasy magazine, so it's still a bargain. ($0.51 each!)

$23 will get you the following:
  • One year subscription to Nightmare Magazine
  • All 33 back issues of Nightmare
  • The John Joseph Adams Super Gay Sampler (ebook)
Right now that's 43 digital magazine issues and one ebook for only $23. ($0.52 each!)

Further unlocks are almost certain, there's 24 days left in the Kickstarter and funding has actually been coming in faster than it did for last year's Women Destroy Science Fiction! Kickstarter. There are other reward tiers as well, but these are the ones most likely to be of interest from a deals standpoint.
