3) Or just fill in the blank with a suggestion of your own? I am open to all ideas, within reason. Right now the magazine is in a break-even stage, even after the loss of the Amazon subscriptions, but clearly we need to move forward . . .

2) a $250 target to bring the podcast adaptations back, once a month, as I think the magazine should provide stories in more than one format, in order to be fully-rounded, and this is something covered in our current contract

1) a $250 target to hire a co-editor. To be honest I do my best with someone else, as I cherish my previous relationships, with Jack Fisher, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Clara Madrigano. I’m well aware of my inadequacies, so . . .

Oh fiddlesticks. My mistake.

A good question: no, it won't be an issue.

Always.

I will ask and get back to you as soon as possible. It's not a bad idea, at all!

4) (Our direct subscribe page is here: thedarkmagazine.com/subscribe/) And, again, thank you for whatever you have done or what you can do, going forward. You are appreciated.

3) Whether that’s between patreon or weightless, it doesn’t really matter. but that is where we currently are. So, if you haven't supported your favorite magazine yet, whether it’s us or someone else, please consider doing so.

2) It is almost for certain that we’ll have to make further changes just to survive, perhaps even a lower pay rate, as a temporary solution. Now, if I want to keep the five cents a word now in place, I would just need about eighty new subscribers.

5) . . . after all, we’ve been around for one hundred issues, so let’s make sure we make it another hundred. Thanks! www.thedarkmagazine.com/subscribe/

4) So, if you want to support one of the few semi-pro dark fantasy/ horror markets that is open year round to authors, and provides, every month, great fiction to its readers, consider subscribing or tossing us a few dollars every month . . .

3) . . . numbers that haven’t reflected in the increases seen at patreon/weightless. Mind you, even if a fraction of that moved over, right now, it would be life-saving, but here we are . . . and if nothing changes, then I can see making more changes, but the magazine is pretty lean as it is . . .

2) . . . to really make much of a difference. In fact, I imagine with every succeeding year the payments will increasingly crater, which amounts to a slow death by a thousand cuts. (Or sudden, who knows?) And I know for a fact that there was about six hundred subscribers left, near the end . . .
