I used to help edit a Science Fiction eZine names Astounding tales. It was lots of work and ultimately very painful and frustrating.
There is, however, a part of me that would like to try it again.
I was thinking that this time I would make it an eReader magazine that would send a couple of stories each week to a person’t Kindle or Nook or whatever. I have already written the technology to push content to the Kindle and there are similar APIs for the other eReaders.
This eReader tech is coming into its own and the PC market is fragmenting into specialty hardware like Tablets, Phones, PDAs, MP3 players, and eReaders.
I would have to accept stories, pay for them, edit them and then push the stories out to a list.
It would be fun to do, except that I don’t think I could read the slush pile. I have definite tastes in Spec Fic and I would not want to deal with the tons of crap that authors would send me.
