   I’m not saying the New Yorker is the awesomest or whatevs, but this sentence in the failbetter call irks me:

   “As to journals, even One Story, the rare mag that doesn’t shoehorn fiction between articles about Rahm Emanuel and dissolving marriages, won’t take anything longer than 8,000 words.”

   I mean, isn’t it actually awesome that fiction gets shoehorned btw other articles, where smart people will read them when they otherwise wouldn’t? Like, isn’t one of the big problems that major magazines aren’t publishing fiction?

   But a free contest rules.
