I'm preparing an online magazine, similar to the one compellingsciencefiction has (which, as its name implies, is based around hard science fiction)

There are already a couple writers interested in participating, however I'm wondering which theme should the magazine tackle.

Would you read stories where the "topic" is different each month (plague, outworldly invasion, dystopy, etc)? Or maybe the genre changes monthly (fantasy,science fiction, western)? Or would you prefer a magazine that focuses specifically on one genre only, say, fantasy?

Most of you probably know unsplash, its a site that has high quality photography images that you can use for free.

Im looking for an equivalent, but for digital art.

I own the site rainychat.com, basically a website that pairs you to chat with another random user. However, while you can talk about anything you want, it also allows the feature to choose to be a "listener" or a "venter", so if you had a rough day, or feel lonely, or just have a problem you´d like to talk about, you can be paired with someone who is willing to be the counterpart - a listener.

In any case, there are variations of this idea around the web, most notably blahtherapy or 7cupsoftea. They certainly have tons of users, but I´m confident my alternative is far better. No ads, good reconnection, minimalist design, backspace doesn´t exit the chat (it´s a line of js, I can´t believe they haven´t fixed that), just the little things that add up over time.

I´m having trouble finding a way to pull new users or those from other sites to my product. I don´t have a prior project from where to get users from, no email lists, no facebook followers. I put a lot of work into this site, I´m honestly kinda lost. Any advice?
