I'm preparing to submit to "Fantasy & Science Fiction" magazine but am wondering what size of SASE to send. Should it be large enough to return the manuscript or a smaller one for my first rejection slip? Am I positive or what?

If you want your manuscript returned, then yes, make it big enough for the entire thing, with sufficient postage. But I usually just put on the front page that the 'manuscript is disposable' (or recyclable) and include a standard #10 envelope with a single stamp. The F&SF rejection slips aren't even a full sheet of paper.

I know it's done a lot that way these days, but I still like to get the MS back. If I find a coffee cup stain on Page Ten, I know that somebody got at least that far in the story...
By the way, as far as F & SF goes, I know a lot of you have seen me rant and rave about how they sent back my MSS minus the title page...
