I could give you details, but they aren't even hammered out yet, so I'll keep it simple:
Subscription spec fic (science fiction / fantasy) zine for and by South East Asian writers and readers. Print and online versions available.
Would you read / buy it?

Most probably. Might get the online version to be delivered to my email, provided it isn't too exp.

For me, it'd boil down to the quality of the stories in the magazine. I wouldn't hesitate to hand over good money for a good read. You can never have too many good reads. :D

That's actually a great idea. *tosses into idea pile*
I refuse to fork over money for bad reads myself. I wouldn't make people read bad fiction unless it was as an example of what NOT to do. ----------

Yes, though from my experience the problem isn't really in finding an audience, it's in getting people to submit their works in time for the deadline so you can get the thing out.

I'm always hungry for new speculative fiction. Also depends on how much it is. Having electronic copies are a good thing too, especially for those of us who aren't there to buy it. It'll save people money to public it lowering the cost.
Also make it that people can download it in ebook format like epub or bebb.

Sure, and plug it to the fandom as well. There's def a market for asian fantasy/scifi/*punk these days. I be interested. And I know a couple or more of other writing buddies who would be as well.
