I got an email from Neil Clarke, editor and publisher of Clarkesworld Magazine, with a list of SF/F magazines that were missing from the magazine page in the resources section. Thank you Mr. Clarke! (Neil also runs the savesemiprozine.org website which you should check out.)

I have updated said page with 16 new magazines - bringing us up to 50 total. There is some good reading in that list. What? You're still here? Check 'em out!

I received Asimov's for a while, but I burned out on short stories.

i have a suggestion, or a question really .. fling of idea (scratch the idea) thought
how about keeping the magazine covers updated? meaning having the latest magazine issue cover image
if you ask me why i probably wouldnt have a good answer .. but i'd say that they usually have cool imagery and having them changing would be one more feature to check-back on ole worldswithoutend.com. dont think magazines would be against it too, as it's a free ad for them to sell an issue or even a subscription.

you may have the updates based on user submissions .. i wouldnt mind sending you the links for example

I'm certainly with you on wanting them updated with fresh covers. No real reason to do it other than what you said about wanting to see the cool new covers. In the beginning I did make an effort to update the covers but it just became too time consuming as the list grew longer. There are 62 magazines in that list, mostly monthly releases, which means 40 or so new cover images that I'd have to collect and edit every month.

The collecting is the hard part really so if you, or anybody else, wants to send me the new covers I can certainly take a few minutes to replace the old ones. You can paste the links to the images right here in this thread or you can use the Submit a Magazine email link on the magazine page. I'd prefer to get several at a time as it's easier to update them that way but you can post them as you find 'em and I'll let a few collect then post them in batches.

Damn, Son! You do not mess around. Well, neither do I. The new images are up now.

Thanks for putting in the effort. The only one I could not update is Dreams & Nightmares. They're not showing an image of their latest issue.

I'm ready for more.

@hihik: These are all done now. I cleared out the mags that are no longer publishing and updated the old links. Thanks very much for the help! The new images look really good. I didn't realize how tired I was of the old ones until your brought it up.
