Fictionwise Cancels F&SF Subscriptions
I've just received a paypal notification of a pro-rata refund from Fictionwise for the balance of my Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction subscription.
It seems to be genuine - the money's in my paypal account. But I haven't received any other notification from Fictionwise. F&SF seem to still be going. I guess I'll have to find another source if I decide to keep on buying the magazine. Has anyone else got a subscription refund from Fictionwise recently? |

They quit selling subscriptions to Analog quite a while back, I know. Maybe this is just catching up with the "no more subscriptions" policy.

I hope it's specific to F&SF — I also have current subscriptions at Fictionwise for Analog (15 issues), Asimov's (11 issues) and Interzone (4 issues).

I got the same notice. My subscription had expired with the last issue, so I have no refund issues. I've looked about and no one else has an ebook version of F&SF that I can find.

It's really not surprising given the options out there. Maybe their overhead was too high? I did read a few of their recent issues and found their editorial selections lacking in that certain something I tend to call "stuff I like"

I wonder if F&SF has discontinued the digital edition?
One can contact the publisher I suppose. |
