I wonder if there are some good e-zines out there that I'm missing. I know Duotrope can tell me about potential markets for my writing, but I'm interested in finding some decent e-zines in the F&SF genres to read.
Do you have a favourite online F&SF e-zine that regularly publishes short fiction? What's its URL? Why do you like it? How would you characterize its content? What do you like as a reader? IGMS? FFO? Polluto? Bewildering Stories? Strange Horizons? Baen's Universe? Ray Gun Revival? Other ...?

Beneath Ceaseless Skies (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/) published two fantasy stories, every other Thursday. The quality of the material so far has been excepeent and I can't recommend the site highly enough.
Abyss and Apex (http://www.abyssandapex.com/) publish four or five stories plus a flash or two, every quarter. More of a mix than BCS but with some very impressive work at times.
Author's disclaimer: I have sold work to both magazines, so I could be biased.

I'm little surprised there are no other replies.
Perhaps I didn't ask the question clearly.
Even if your favourite on-line publication is on the list I mentioned (IGMS, etc), it would be interesting to know which ones people like and why.
Or, I imagine there could be very few replies because either, like me, everyone buys mostly paper novels, short story mags and anthologies and reads little on-line, or those who do read on-line wish to avoid offending editors of on-line markets, some of whom contribute to Hatrack (and maybe more lurk, who knows).
I frequent FFO (of course), and it's the only ezine I read faithfully, but there are others--if you're not talking pro-sub markets--that are good for reading:

Well Polluto used to be available as a PDF download, and we'd always intended to have online content, but it's never really been an e-zine. We're a print zine, really. But thanks for mentioning us
I second ChiZine as an excellent example. Abyss & Apex is another good one, and they've recently gone pro too.
