So ... why does the world need another SF magazine?

Because not enough humorous SF & Fantasy gets into print
Because SF can be printed AND entertaining at the same time
Because it's not the size of the sword, it's where you stick it
Because too many 'light-hearted, un-serious' stories are rejected
Because first-time authors have a hell of a time getting into print

And because six issues a year for A$49 is too good to resist.
