David, There's a discussion about just that in the SFWA sff.net group--that's what prompted me to post about the problem here. Btw, I gather you're in the UK? Aren't magazines like Postscripts and Interzone and Albedo One (Irish) easily accessible? I don't know how foreign distribution works for F&SF and Asimov's and Analog. Perhaps if Gordon pops by he can tell us.
I guess what I'm partly trying to do with this blog is create a dialog about short fiction. I've never blogged before (I started the first week in September) so am playing it by ear here. I mention what I'm working on (which is usually short fiction)...how can I get potential readers more interested? Would it be a good idea for me to mention which stories I'm taking for YBFH as I decide and try to explain why? Mention the novels I read as I read them and the better collections, etc? I'm definitely open to suggestions as to what anyone would be interested in seeing in my blog...(if it interests me I'll blog about it ;-))
