Talk:Beyond Fantasy Fiction

message: You know, it seems fairly unlikely that anyone would bother to renew the copyrights on this short-lived (and rather forgotten, apparently) magazine  and its cover art (as opposed to the stories, whose copyrights would belong to the authors).  Unfortunately, this sort of thing is very difficult to document, though.--Pharos 19:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As it turns out, the copyright on neither cover was renewed, so they're fine.  Nice to have them both there.  Quadell pointed me at this page, which gives directions for figuring it out.  Very handy. Mike Christie (talk) 02:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Should we link to the science fantasy article somewhere?--Pharos (talk) 20:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say Beyond was more about fantasy than science fantasy, though the latter is notoriously difficult to define.  But if we can find a source that calls some of the stories in Beyond "science fantasy", then sure.  Mike Christie (talk) 20:05, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I just read "noted for printing fantasy with a rational basis, such as stories about werewolves with a scientific explanation", and was looking for an article that we could link to explaining this.  I have no desire to engage in OR here, but this does seem to fit within the broad definition as stated at science fantasy (but perhaps that article could be improved by some more authoritative, cited definitions?).  I also noticed that Unknown is mentioned prominently in the science fantasy article.  Anyway, I have no particular knowledge in this area, and I leave it to your judgment.--Pharos (talk) 03:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm.  I see your point.  I guess it wouldn't hurt to link it but I'm not sure it would really help -- the science fantasy article isn't going to really clarify things for a reader of this.  I guess at least a reader interested in the genre would find more to read that was interesting to them there, but the trouble with linking from a phrase like the one you mention is that it would be a bit of an Easter Egg link.  I think I'll leave it unlinked for now, but if someone else thinks it's worth it I wouldn't argue with them. Mike Christie (talk) 04:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
