Did you know the Apex Magazine Subscription drive is going on right now? More subscribers means more fiction for you, and a higher pay rate for the authors who create all that amazing fiction.

To send some happy attention towards the Apex Mag subscription drive, here’s an Apex Magazine crossword. 85% of the answers to the crossword can be found at the Apex Magazine back issue site, 15% can be found on the Apex Publications site, and 15% are just random words I used to make the puzzle (mostly) work. Put an answer or two in the comments and I’ll enter you in my international give away for a subscription to Apex Mag. You can read the magazine on your kindle, nook, smartphone, tablet, and probably some other gizmos I’m not even aware of.
