it was no big deal to buy a copy at only 82p. If you're a contributor, you would have made many more times that amonut from the story's sale! I'd be much more worried about missing a story that was published. And as another anonymous so rightly said, if you are contributing, you should be buying the mags every week. It's a golden rule. If you write for a few it can mount up, but as a business the overheads for writing aren't that much and it can be tailored to your budget. If you only want to buy one or two mags, then only contribute to one or two. At the end of the day it depends if you consider your writing a career or a hobby, I suppose.
