Summary: Revolution SF, 2005
Revolution SF is a webzine devoted to reviews and essays and humor and news and other features, about SF, Fantasy, and Horror, both written and other media. They also publish a fair amount of fiction, both original and reprint. The fiction editor is Jayme Lynn Blaschke.
In 2005 I saw 18 new stories, one a novelette, one a short-short, for a total of just over 60,000 words.
My favorite story was "The Fate of Pol Krage", by John Garrison, set in what first seems a medievaloid fantasy village but which turns out to be a planet of deliberately restricted tech level. Pol Krage is a somewhat mysterious but respected man, but who he really is comes clear only when high-tech soldiers descend on the village. I also liked "Leonardo's Hands", by Steven Gould and Rory Harper, about a couple of thieves who try to steal from a certain artist, to their misfortune; and "Alien Dreams", by Jay Lake, in which a team tries to find a box with the property of "multiplying luck" -- just how it does so is rather interesting, and of course arguably useless. Other fine work came from A. R. Yngve, Chris Nakashima-Brown, and Mikal Trimm.
