Is anyone here subscribed to any good monthly/quarterly magazines?
I was thinking about getting a Clarkesworld of F&SF sub, partially for the feel of it and partially to keep up with what's current in sf, but I haven't actually bought a magazine in 10+ years

Or if you're not currently subscribed to anything, are there any
defunct publications you miss?

Yes - the old PC Magazine. I think it's still published in an online format, but it's not the same. Oh, and Computer Shopper. LOL

Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine is very hit and miss. It virtually
has no heroic or high fantasy (to be honest, barely any publication does). I don't think you can't go very wrong with this one, but to be honest,
with the ammount of story submissions they get (in the order of 700-900
per month) I suspect they could be publishing better stuff.[...]
The Asimov magazine, it pains me to tell, is junk. As in, you could not
pay me to be published there. [...]
The Grantville Gazettes deserves a special mention. They used to have an annex section in which they would publish fantasy and scfi military fiction. I never got to read it but I remember them buying stories that were quite average and passing on very good stuff. [...]
Hmmmm.. sounds like it might be time for you to fill the void
and give the good material that others are passing up on an
audience. ;)

My relationship with printed literary publications is not great, but for what is worth:
