I'll be starting a subscription to Ellery Queen soon. For SF/Fantasy, I've liked Analog and Marion Zimmer Bradley's mag (can't remember the name) in the past.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I don't think so, although Mairelon might be, now that I think of it. I didn't like it all that much, so I haven't re-read it. Mairelon the Magician has a sequel called Magician's Ward.
I like Stevermer's writing much more than Wrede's, so I enjoyed the joint efforts more than Wrede's solo books.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
LCRW is already on my list, due to my acquaintance with the editors/publishers of it.
For SF, there are the SF magazines, such as Analog and Asimov's, which are all about short fiction. There are similar mystery magazines. A quick browse through the literary section of the magazine stand at Borders or B&N (or similar), would turn up lots of options.
See, though, I am looking to winnow for quality and type. Both Analog and Asimov's are too broad; and there are too many magazines out there. The question is, which are the best ones, the most up my alley?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Connie, next up is:
The Grand Tour : Being a Revelation of Matters of High Confidentiality and Greatest Importance, Including Extracts from the Intimate Diary of a Noblewoman and the Sworn Testimony of a Lady of Quality by Caroline Stevermer, Patricia C. Wrede
In a similar universe, I believe, are the College of Magics series by Stevermer:
A College of Magics
A Scholar of Magics
When The King Comes Home

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I talked to her over the weekend, at Boskone. Not only do I "know" her -- i.e., I have chatted with her at conferences a couple of times --, the first time we met, I knew who she was but she paused and looked at me funny and said, "Did you used to shop a lot at Avenue Victor Hugo [local book store]?" And that was how my first chat with her began.
She and her husband Gavin both used to work there, at a time when I shopped there like twice a month.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Any fans of the traditional Regency romance out there? (Traditionals being shorter, generally less sexually explicit, and more mannered than Regency historicals, which are what I currently write.) The buzz that I'm hearing from writer-land is that both major publishers who currently publish trads (NAL/Signet and Kensington/Zebra) are considering discontinuing their lines unless sales pick up soon. So if you enjoy these books, do your bit for their survival and buy some new ones soon.
Kensington is trying a new approach with their Regency covers, moving from this and this to a more modern chick-litty feel like this: [link] and this: [link] Which is definitely an improvement--I hope it's not too little too late.
