: Okay, what's Slate's email for submissions. Or could it be that Slate excludes people, probably won't allow anyone to email them? : Slate doesn't belong in the zine list, if there's not an email address to submit to... I would have said the same - but for the sake of people just listing what they found interesting (for reading or submissions) let it slosh. This is not some official poll. 'prestige' remains - despite a few attempts to attribute it - undefined. & I hardly see what 'outside' readership has to do with the matter unless one wishes to concede some defacto primacy to print medium? I certainly don't - Not to Vendler, not to Parisi, nor Earl nor Alexander nor Pinski ad naus. Neither Jacket nor Slate accept submissions (one reason why I didn't include them on the original 'starter' list). I'd been thinking in terms of pubs that both have discerning and fairly tough editorial standards (tastes & genre notwithstanding) and which afford the opportunity to both read and submit. 'Prestige' seems to conjure up a host of requirements which a few posters seem to reduce to maters of arguable 'taste/edge'. I've yet to see a site, Jacket and Slate included, that didn't present a 'mixed bag' depending on the reader. But I am surprised that none mentioned 'Non' which I find one of the most consistently(but not always) flawless productions. For that matter, Snakeskin does stuff that nobody else touches - particular in humor - & which I'd give pretty high marks. -rs
