JMS Short Story

[Jan]

A snippet from a post JMS made last night:

But while I'm here...and to change subjects...some folks have asked
when my new short story will be appearing in Dark Dimensions. The
magazine's website now has info available at:

Why, yes, I have ordered mine! One nice touch, I thought-they accept PayPal.

I noticed that! Very cool to see, perhaps I will order a copy when I can do so!

Hi, Heinlein!

Compliments on your user name! RAH is one of my three favorite authors along with JMS and Spider Robinson.

Thank you. I signed up here back in April or May, but time hasn't permitted me to post here as much as I'd like.

Anybody else read it yet? It's quite a nice little magazine.

... Has anybody here ordered one of those magazines in the past?

... Just wondering how it went - payment, shipping, etc... I'm leary about typing my credit card number into web pages I've never seen before, though I'd love to take a look at the magazine. Hell, it's only 6 bucks!

... (the front page of the order form didn't have payment methods and options, I assume that comes after you fill in all the personal info - which I also avoid until I know I'm going through with it.... SPAM, etc..)

I ordered it. It came quite quickly. It's a nicely made magazine. I haven't gotten any other communications from them, spam or sollicitations. I suppose I might get notices about future publications, I don't honestly remember what options there were. The usual credit cards were accepted as well as PayPal, which I thought was a nice touch.

In general, I'm very comfortable with online ordering. To me, it's much more secure transmitting my information to the people who'll actually do the billing than it is when, for example, I hand my card to a waiter or cashier at a restaurant with no way of knowing who can access that data.
