Possible demise of Tales of the Unanticipated

[pegkerr]

Tales of the Unanticipated, the first magazine to accept any story of mine (back in 1986) may be going under, or at least cut loose from its primary source of funding, because Minn-stf may not be able to keep it afloat much longer.

I still have the first dollar from my first sale framed on my desk. TOTU bought my first story, kijjohnson's first story, Carolyn Ives Gilman's first story, and started the writing career of several others. It has often had stories included in the honorable mention section of both Dozois's Year's Best SF and Datlow and Windling's Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.

This is really, really depressing.
