Starting a regular TF-themed writing mag...maybe...?

Hi all!
Having talked with Marquis Orias for some time about this idea, I've put aside some time to (hopefully) bring it to life. This leads on from a series of conversations about how to both build and also bring together more of the furry writing community. I'd like to run through my proposal and ask: Is this something you'd be interested in?
"Transform Fiction" would be a digital magazine partially inspired by the concept of classic pulp science fiction novels. It would consist of submitted stories from (furry) writers that feature transformation of all kinds — Anthro TF, TFTG, gender TF, pooltoy, inanimate, etc — written in all kinds of prose, such as: speculative fiction, character dramas, smutty escapades, horror, and so forth! Transform Fiction would be structured as an anthology of stories, including NSFW smut assuming these are porn-with-plot (i.e., transformation is the primary focus). The structure could also include cover artwork, an interview with an author, and recommendations/reviews for other furry media.
Transform Fiction would be a free digital magazine in .pdf format. It wouldn't be able to pay authors for submissions but building on my network and those of other writers, we hope it'll become one of many foci in the community — a thing which can be shared, posted, and enjoyed in a way that'll (1) celebrate great TF fiction out there and (2) get readership for new undiscovered creators.
Any thoughts, ideas, and feedback is welcomed! If you think you'd like to get involved either by submitting something or in organising the magazine, drop a comment too! I can't promise anything at this point — just doing a little research — but your response will be appreciated!
Stay amazing,
Zen

Love the comparison to classic scifi fiction, since those old serial magazines like Analog, Weird Tales, Asimov's, etc were such a boon for new writers and the soul for the SF community, so having something like that for TF fiction would be an incredible thing. Best of luck, hope this idea pans out!
Also, sounds like a fun idea having a dedicated magazine, totally supportive of it.
