[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 711660, member: 8704"] I would like to see the same things done, the only difference I guess is that I don't have a problem with the fiction as is. I'd like to see what you think it requires but just don't think it is a required fix. I like the theme issues and I would like to see fiction that fits into the book theme, but I don't have a subscription I only buy the issues that interest me, if you have a subscription I can understand a dislike of theme issues as you may get a issue that has nothing in it for you. Does that make theme issues good or bad? It's all subjective to the person involved. I was picking on your post (perhaps unfairly) but the thing is that there has been so many Dragon Magazine bashing post lately and the only point anybody seems to make is that because they don't like a part of the magazine then that part has to go. Heck I've seen people say they like the Silicon Sorcery sections and if some people like a section then it does have some value in the book. You will not like every section of every magazine, it's a given, that doesn't make that section universally worthless. There is a difference between a statement of dislike and a statement that something has no value, a lot of people seem to be missing that point. I have a question on this also, I was under the impression that the fiction is a occasional thing and not a every issue thing, I don't have a subscription so I don't get every issue, but I thought the fiction was only something they did occasionally. I don't remember there being any fiction in issue 300 for example. [/QUOTE]
