Title for a Science Fiction magazine?

[Serendipity]

I'm in a frivolous mood at the moment... in the UK we have only one what is considered top-notch science fiction magazine - Interzone. (I think this underrates other magazines by the way.)

What would we call a science fiction magazine that could rival Interzone? Obviously titles like Analog, F&SF, etc are out because they are already in use.

Are we actually starting a real magazine?

Dark Matters

It depends upon what you want to suggest with the name.

Very short, and to the point, more sf-based: PULSAR
Again, to the point, but sf and f: OTHERWORLDS
More jokey: THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF SPACE PILOTS & EXPERIMENTAL ROCKETEERS (JASPER)

What do you want in the magazine? Just stories, or stories and poetry? Any non-fiction? Do you want science fiction, or fantasy, or a mixture of both? Would it cover spec fic in general?

I don't know what the title should be, but I'd be tempted to make every edition #42.

The problem with polls like this is that 'Comic McComicface' would win.

This suggestion isn't quite there... maybe you good people could play with it...

Are you suggesting that Bob is not a great enough hero of sci-fi to qualify?
