I really need to start reading that magazine regularly; judging by what they've been buying, it's probably closer to my tastes now than it was last time I read a full issue.<\/p>\n<p>I got curious about how many first Campbell-eligible sales each of the Big Four has published in the past couple years; occurred to me that it's trivial to count, by just looking at the first sale listed for each <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sff.net\/campbell-awards\/authors.htm\">eligible author<\/a>.  (Though that's not a completely comprehensive list.  But it's probably close.)  In 1997-2002 combined, <cite>Analog<\/cite> published sixteen first eligible sales (five of those in 1997), <cite>Asimov's<\/cite> six, <cite>F&amp;SF<\/cite> twenty (but only one in 2002), and <cite>Realms<\/cite> eleven (including four in 2002).
