Unlike many mainstream &#8216;SFF&#8217; magazines, Lyonesse does not elevate politics above story to the point of unreadability. Through a clever subscription model and regular delivery of stories, Lyonesse offers a much-needed alternative to print magazines that refuses to compromise the quality of storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Lyonesse&#8217;s authors include the inestimable <a href=\"http:\/\/r.duckduckgo.com\/l\/?kh=-1&amp;uddg=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ljagilamplighter.com%2F\">J. Lagi Lamplighter<\/a>, Dragon Award nominee <a href=\"http:\/\/www.declanfinn.com\/\">Declan Finn<\/a>, and of course, yours truly. The subscription fee is a mere USD $6.99. In exchange, you receive 52 stories, plus bonus stories during the holidays. It&#8217;s an incredibly generous offer.<\/p>\n<p>If you have spare change, send some to Silver Empire, and together we can make short fiction great again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lyonesse, a short story subscription service, promises to revolutionise the industry.
