I'm professionally interested in SFF markets that pay pro rates, so I picked this up to see what this new market is selecting for publication. I enjoyed most of the stories, which is not by any means guaranteed for me in a pro magazine, so well done to the editors for that. "Q&A: An AI Love Story" by Fade Manley takes the unusual form of the answers to a journalist's interview questions (we don't get to see the questions, so we can only infer them from the answers). It's an interesting narrative...
A very enjoyable issue.The standout stories for me were "The Customer Is Always Right" (Short but sweet.) by Anna Salonen, "Bargain" (Stylish and charming) by Sarah Gailey and "Tales of a Fourth Grade Shoggoth"(Horribly Fantastic!) by Kevin Wetmore.The non-fic "How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Dwarf Planets" by Dr Pamela Gay was very interesting.A nice mix of reviews too, I will definitely be getting issue 2.
I liked the concept of this magazine but I wasn't mad about the stories in the final form. Maybe another edition will work better for me? I did appreciate the Flight Rising recommendation, though.
