Suggestions solicited

Anyone know a good SF-short-story venue for a satire about suicide & empathy?  It's been rejected by F&SF, Futurismic, and Strange Horizons so far.  I have a whopping 2 finished stories that I'm willing to have in circulation and right now neither of them is subbed anywhere (the other one is lit-fic, and I'm probably not going to try very hard to place it).

Subterranean?

I think Subterranean takes solicited/agented subs only, alas.

Asimov's and Analog are always worth a shot, of course. Weird Tales?

Ohh, Weird Tales! I forgot they were actually publishing again. And apparently they take email subs, yay! I went ahead and sent it to them, thanks.

Analog wouldn't like this one, since it has no science in it--it's a dystopia but not one based on any new technology. Asimov's might like it, but since it is indeed Weird, I think it has a better shot over at WT.

(I haven't gotten a chance to read your story yet, but with luck I will get to tomorrow, by the way)

Maybe the webzine "Coyote Wild"?

Heliotrope, Wrong World (maybe), Intergalactic Medicine Show, Apex--

Ah, heck. I've got a spreadsheet that answers this question over at Aswiebe's Market List (http://www.aswiebe.com/writing/markets.html).

Ooo, handy list! I'll check it out. I'll read up on the mags you suggested (well, except OSC's--he's on my "repugnant opinions" no-fly list) while I'm waiting for Weird Tales to reject me. Thanks!
