Fiction, Dead + Alive



it is a good week for the online lit scene: “The Millions” feature an article on the striving online lit scene: "Long Live Fiction: A Guide to Online Fiction"

the link got even picked up by The New Yorker in their book bench section, here the direct link to the post: "In The News.." --> second entry: "The Millions' roundup of the best online sources for fiction"

i added a comment about the oldest online literary magazines to the Long Live Fiction Guide. then i had a minor brainwave, and moved to the "Lost + Found Online Magazines" page of the re/visit issue of blueprintreview. the page already included some general articles, and i still had a tidbit of e-zine history and a list of "first online mags that are still alive" in a file. i added those, too, and now renamed this whole page - it now is titled: "Online Literary Magazines - Lost, Found, Dead + Alive".

There's a discussion starting at Donigan's site about online and print publishing you might be interested in, prompted by Jason Epstein's article in the New York Times book blog. Donigan has that link on his site; here's the link to Donigan's post:
