The following lists are of what I feel are the best stories in each of the issues. All of the stories are excellent and can be read at the archive, except for the ones in Issue #4, which are still up at the main site. There is, of course, no cost.

Note: Issue #2 is not listed here, but just because it is so monolithic. It consists of the novel The Spriggan Mirror by Lawrence Watt-Evans and his short story, “Sirinita’s Dragon”.

• Issue #1

• “Bonneville” by Timons Esaias
• “The Reading Lessons” by Carole Lanham
• “Super Villains” by Michael Canfield
• “Real People Slash” by Nick Mamatas
• “In Which an Angel Offers Instruction on the Meaning of Life” by Ray Vukcevich
• “Critterworld” by Steve Watkins

• Issue #3

• “Second Bearing 1919″ by Claudia Emerson
• “Pitching Horseshoes” by Claudia Emerson
• “Thought Experiments: An Abecedary” by Igor Teper
• “Moriya” by Dean Paschal
• “All in a Night’s Work” by Nels Stanley

• Issue #4

• “Quality Time” by Daniel Marcus
• “Handful” by Paul E. Martens
• “Believe” by Katherine Sparrow
• “The Case of the Missing Flower Pot” by Bruce Holland Rogers

While every story in each of the magazine issues is 100% worthwhile, these are the ones that speak to me, personally, more than most. If I had to list every story here that I loved, the list would be longer; that I could read a dozen times and not get bored, then I would have to list all of them.
