::: The Gazette is a semi-pro SF magazine featuring fan fiction and non-fiction edited by Eric Flint and a volunteer editorial board. It is also published by Baen. Initial publication is in electronic form at Webscription.net, but a mass market paper edition of the first issue was published as an experiment in November of 2004. The first printing sold out, and early results were good enough that the second issue is also slated for a paper edition in March 2006.
