Strange Horizons webzine is trying to raise funds

If you don't know them, Strange Horizons is an nonprofit, free weekly webzine of speculative fiction. Right now, they're trying to raise $6,000 to continue to pay their writers and cover costs for the zine production. Here's the official announcement:

1. Strange Horizons publishes short fiction, poetry, reviews and articles of interest to the speculative fiction community each week on Monday. Once each month we also publish an art gallery spotlighting a different speculative artist.

2. All of our 40+ staff members are volunteers. All the money from the funddrive goes to operating costs of the website, and so that we can pay our contributors professional rates. Yes, that's right. We pay for stories and art for a free web magazine. Pretty awesome!

3. We have some seriously cool book packages and other prizes this year. Everyone who donates will be entered into a prize drawing at the end of the drive.

Seems like they're already about halfway to their financial goal, but if you'd like to help out, you can go here to donate.


I see that smile.
