In case you hadn’t heard, Realms of Fantasy is going to cease publication in April 2009. This sudden halt is largely due with the economy. You may have also seen Fantasy and Science Fiction is going to be shifting to bi-monthly publication starting this spring. One of the big difference between Realms and other genre fiction publications like F&SF is that Realms is a full format color magazine. Not only did they include stories but also lots of art work. There is an illustration to accompany each story which really helps get the reader in the state of mind for the story. A grass roots effort has started to save Realms of Fantasy. You can help by joining the Facebook or Live Journal group. For now, the Realms of Fantasy forums are still open.
