  • Vol. xxii, no. 1.
  • The cover misdates the issue to October 2024 (but both the title/contents page and the subsequent masthead/copyright page indicate that this is the November issue).
  • The cover art, by Sonali Roy, is entitled Space Bride.
  • The cover design is by Laura Givens.
  • The issue price is intentionally sold at the lower value of $9.95 on the publisher's online shop.
  • The two pieces of interior art appearing on p. 34 are by separate artists (Richard E. Schell and Denise Noe, repectively) but both bear the same title (White Snake).
  • Guy Belleranti's untitled poem with the first line "when" is distinct from another poem with the same first line that was published in Scifaikuest Online in August 2023 (see link).
  • The Featured Poet of this issue is D. A. Xiaolin Spires and, on this basis, is the subject of the interview. However, the table of contents lists Tyler McIntosh as the interviewee.
