I've got a "welcome" message for the new account. I guess I just have to wait a week now!

Are the Amazon Analog editons DRMed? Can you still download all copies, or only the last half dozen or so?

My fictionwise Analog sub has a while to go, but if I want to keep getting F&SF I'm going to have to go to Amazon, once they get it sorted out.

Yes, they are DRMed. I'm only on my second issue with them, so I can't comment on how long they keep your back issues available.

Same for me.

Haven't heard from them in months either, and I'm one of their oldest customers.

pidgeon92 · 05-04-2011, 01:13 PM

I haven't received an email in months, either. I purchased about 100 ebooks/magazines from them last year....

Same here, but OK by me, as I am now really a former customer.

I'm in a similar boat - I used to check their new arrivals every Monday and order something most weeks.

Thanks to B&N they've lost almost everything that made me want to shop there - and the three to five hundred dollars a year I spent at the site.

Maybe those of you not getting email from Fictionwise are getting it labeled spam by your mail server. I go to Comcast and Gmail every once in a while to check the spam folder and sometimes I do find something that is not spam in there.

sakura-panda · 05-04-2011, 03:54 PM

I don't know about the others, but I check my spam box two or three times a week and there hasn't been anything from fictionwise there. (Lots of other non-spam emails, but none from fictionwise.)

MrsJoseph · 05-04-2011, 04:02 PM

I've never gotten an email from FW.

pidgeon92 · 05-04-2011, 05:06 PM

I check my spam folder multiple times daily, they are not coming there either.

I had assumed that since they had to drop most of the coupons, and killed the Buywise club, that they stopped sending emails, but now that I know others are getting them I wonder why I'm not. Oh well.

khalleron · 05-04-2011, 08:46 PM

I check my spam everytime I log into email.

Nothin' there.

They don't love me anymore.

GeoffC · 05-05-2011, 06:08 AM

I have stopped receiving them too - and I checked that I am still subscribed.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Club membership - mine has lapsed.

I regularly get the Fictionwise promo emails, about once a week. I still have micropay money with them, too, but their selection of titles has deteriorated so much that I actually have a hard time deciding what books to buy there nowadays. It would be nice if they just gave me the cash.
