Fiction is something I never read in magazines unless fiction is the main thrust of the magazine (Weird Tales, Realms of Fantasy, Cemetery Dance, whatever). I skip over the fiction in Dragon and Asgard every issue. In twenty-plus years of gaming and after buying/reading hundreds of issues of Dragon, I've never once read a complete fiction story in it, and never intend to. I want crunchy bits, not fluff. If I wanted fiction, I'd buy a novel or all-fiction magazine.Cut GF's color, drop the price/page count, sell more ad space, maybe increase the frequency of publication... all things to consider. There is no way GF will survive at $20 per issue. IMO, it's foolish to think so, and detrimental to GF's success to even suggest that they can. I'm not trying to bash anyone, just inject a healthy dose of reality into these proceedings. Optimism and "happy thoughts" don't pay the rent.</blockquote>
