So how does this thing work?

First things first. Are you already a subscriber to the magazine? If so, skip down to Start Reading. If not, follow me. We will part you gently from your hard-earned wages and give you wonder in return.

Signing Up

Click Subscribe here or at the top of the page. Then click Sign Up. You’ll be asked to pick a username and fill in the usual info, then select if you want to purchase a single issue (right now, just Issue 4), or all of Year Two, which will include the full run of Chuck Wendig’s serial, The Forever Endeavor. Whatever you choose, you’ll be sent off to Paypal. You don’t need a Paypal account, just a credit card (though you can of course use your Paypal account if you have one). Once Paypal has slipped your coin into its pocket, you’ll be sent back to us.

Start Reading

Welcome to Fireside. There are a few ways to get at your issues. At the bottom of each page, there is a Back Issues list, and you can simply click on the issue you’d like to read online. (Issues 1-3, from 2012, are all free.)

When you are signed  in, at the top of each page there is also a link to Your Issues. Here, you can see all the issues you have access to (and add any that you are missing). This is also where you can download a DRM-free ebook version of each issue you have paid for, as either a Mobi file (Amazon) or an Epub (most other e-readers).

And, that’s it! If you have any questions, please send editor Brian White a note on our Contact page.
