Wild Stacks!
Announcing: Wyld Stallyns! (oh, sorry, must stop watching Bill & Ted!)
Wild Stacks: The Library of the Imagination
Yes, there is a new online magazine on the interwebs! And this one is being run by m'good friends Pete Coleborn and Jan Edwards who are reviving their Alchemy Press in order to bring genre goodness to you (yes, you!) :-P
Currently it's a 4-the-luv market, published quarterly, with the aim of 1) becoming a decent paid market and 2) producing an annual hardback Best-Of anthology (for which royalties and wotnot will be paid). Further Alchemy Press cunning plans to be announced as and when.
Meantime, Issue #0 is up - with fiction from Anne Gay, Allen Ashley and Mike Chinn.
Annnnd, most importantly, Wild Stacks is open for submissions! Oh yes. ;-P
Also I'm an assistant editor! So I get to help read 'em! The subs remit is for a broad range of genre fiction ... specifically "from horror to heroic fiction, sword & sorcery, urban fantasy, steam-punk, supernatural, surreal, weird fiction, and noir crime... but no hard science fiction, erotica or stories designed to gross out."
So let's see what you've got! Personally, I want to see more women writers, stories with kick-ass chicks and settings that haven't been used a zillion times by everyone else, but that's just me!
That link again: Wild Stacks! (Rock on!)

I've always used kick-ass chicks as a general term to cover strong/awesome women so never considered the negative connotations that it might imply as a reference.
I also hadn't realised how privilieged the shortened settings-we-don't-see phrase sounded (and double thanks for doing the LJ post expanding on that!), when, yes, the intent was to encourage genuine diversity in subs.
