Chekhov's Mistress
More Free Stuff
I feel a little bit like a schmuck. Given the choice to pay whatever I like, I just got a subscription to Fence Magazine for $1.00. Sound familiar? It is:
Dear Reader,
We at Fence love Radiohead, and so jumped at the chance to buy their newest album (I’m so old I call it an “album”) at the price of our choosing. One of us paid $1 for it; another of us paid $17 for it; these seemed like fair prices. We have heard some paid two months’ salary.
And now we’re offering a similar opportunity for you to choose your own price for subscribing to Fence (or re-upping your current subscription). It’s very important to us that Fence have readers—that the work inside Fence have readers, really—and so we want you to pay us whatever you want for your year’s subscription.
All you have to do is go here http://www.fenceportal.org/support/ and click on “donate,” then choose your level. Payments are processed by PayPal (it’s free and easy to set up an account if you don’t already have one: http://www.paypal.com). Anyone who chooses to pay $300 or more, god bless you, will, as always, become a lifetime subscriber, and receive a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.
This offer will be good from now through April 30th. If you take us up on it you will receive your brand new Spring/Summer 2008 issue of Fence sometime in May.
Okay, so they want readers and I’m a reader and I wouldn’t subscribe otherwise (because I’ve been cutting out all my print subscriptions), and I couldn’t resist. I’m one of those people that goes the CLMP litmag fair and loads the boat with cheap copies of journals.
