I can't decide whether it's really a fiction zine or more a newsletter that happens to have some fiction. It's pretty much a draw, perhaps leaning toward the newsletter end of things as the stories are all very short; many of them were responses to the "Variations" game in which the readers were given a short passage and asked to build a story around it.
Some of the essays are very thought-provoking and would be great for web pages, if the authors would give their permission.
The same group of people did an all-fiction zine with longer stories, Shadow Imaginings #1 and 2, which I've already indexed.
