Last weekend, I got babysit my two great nieces - unexpectedly, which was stressful at first (mostly because of a 3 hour round trip drive to pick them up and drop them off, because my niece doesn't have a car).

The only stuff I do know (or did at one time) was Jedi Council Forums - though I did use it for fanfiction, I believe they had other stuff besides that, I don't know if they had anything related to what you want, but they may tat least know of contests maybe. The actual main site is called TheForce.net and I did see a link t a magazine, though it is for an order for it called Star Wars Insider (this was back in May)
I am sorry I was not much help.

I haven't actually subscribed to too many magazines... But a lot of magazines (online or print) will have contests where they invite entries for a certain genre or theme (with the prize usually including publication in some form), or you can just submit your stories to be printed in the magazine as a regular article (depending the submission rules/whether or not they're open to entries).
The trick is finding legitimate contests, and magazines that fit the genre you write for (especially tricky with sci-fi and fantasy). Sometimes they have entry fees, which, while not always an indicator of a scam, is usually a pretty good indicator that something's fishy (at least from what I've heard).
Aw, I have such fond memories of the Jedi Council Forums. After LOTR, I believe the Jedi Apprentice series was one of the first "fandoms" I got involved in. I'll have to revisit that place. :

The Writer's Digest does look like a good place to potentially find some legitimate venues. (Ooo... I glanced at their site, and discovered this list. And they've got some articles on selling short stories, too. Awesome sauce!)
