My favorite story from this site is a fantasy advice column--Sophie Wereley's "Unconventional Advice for the Discerning Reader": https://dailysciencefiction.com/fantasy/modern-fantasy/sophie-wereley/unconventional-advice-for-the-discerning-reader https://dailysciencefiction.com/fantasy/modern-fantasy/sophi... I also liked barry charman's robot love story, "Upgrades": https://dailysciencefiction.com/science-fiction/robots-and-computers/barry-charman/upgrades https://dailysciencefiction.com/science-fiction/robots-and-c... And Shae Davidson's "10 Reasons Aliens Just Can't Get Enough of This Small West Virginia Town": https://dailysciencefiction.com/science-fiction/aliens/shae-davidson/10-reasons-aliens-just-cant-get-enough-of-this-small-west-virginia-town https://dailysciencefiction.com/science-fiction/aliens/shae-...

I love these short stories. Fits much better into my life (with kids) nowadays. Recently I went to download and subscribe to Analog Science Fiction and Fact on my iPad, but boy what a setback that was. Can't set the font smaller/bigger, the landscape view makes the pages way too small and the app doesn't assume the light/dark theme of the iPad. Basically it's an image or PDF viewer, and not a great one. Anyone tips in this regard?

  I can't help with Analog, but we're in a golden age of free SF online. My vague feeling is Clarkesworld[0] may be most similar to Analog's editorial POV, and RocketStackRank[1] provides an overview of what several other SFWA-qualifying venues are publishing. Compelling[2] comes to mind as a (currently) non-qualifying market probably aiming at an audience like Analog's.

Sold my first story to them almost a decade ago when they were just getting started. Nice to see them still going!
