GUD‘s also available as an ebook through a number of sites (most notably Fictionwise as they convert to a half dozen ebook formats), but also horror-mall, genremall, and soon reader’s eden (and I’m always on the lookout for more exposure for the mag).

Definitely tough to get people to read stuff online. Getting people to read anything… I think that starts in school, really, or should. Or at least… could? Hard to say. Microsoft has the money to get into any public or private school it wants… why not magazines? Especially emags. I wish I knew the way in. Then again, GUD’s content isn’t entirely K-12 clean.

One way GUD deals with the purity of noncommercialism… is we relegate it to the magazine itself. Not a single ad in our pages, print or otherwise. But the website’s a different matter, as is the content on the website (reviews, for instance).

And I find that having ads up on the site brings in the occasional reader who only finds it because they were looking for places to put their ads.
