Some e-zines are wild successes. The two that come to mind are InterText
and Quanta. They have fairly large direct readerships, (i.e. people that
they mail out the notices regarding new issues to), and even larger
indirect readerships I imagine. They are for fiction and science-fiction,
respectively. I think Quanta encourages donations and offers a print
version. They both run serialized fiction from time to time... Quanta's
"The Harrison Chapters" just won't stop.
