"Planet Magazine is...concerned mostly with science fiction and horror, but blessed with poetry and rather pleasing artwork, too. The stories are top notch, and the whole is presented without much fluff, but with a certain degree of self-awareness I find refreshing....[Y]ou can tell that the publisher and his staff are real fans of the genre. While the topic may not be as cultured as that of the competition, the magazine is a high quality affair that deserves recognition...." -- "About This Particular Mac", Vol. 2.01, "The Best E-Zines of 1995"; First Place (tie) Literature category.  <http://www.atpm.com/>

Planet Magazine accepts original, unpublished short science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories, poems, or one-act plays from anyone (use the lengths in any issue as a guideline).  We will not publish anything we judge to be porno, gore, or in violation (as far as we are able to tell) of any copyrights (such as stories that use Star Trek characters).  Since Planet is free and carries no ads, we can't pay anything except the spirit-sustaining currency of free publicity and life-enhancing good vibes.  We also accept original illustrations.
