Okay, that's kind of awesome.

I had my first fiction class of the semester with my creative writing teacher from last spring (who's really great, and I completely forgot to tell him about the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, which I think he'd like), and he mentioned that we had the option of volunteering for the literary magazine's editorial board this spring. When he explained the way the decision process is made, he mentioned that the piece with the best score as voted by the editorial board is listed first in the literary magazine.

I went back and checked the literary magazine from last semester. The dystopian short story I wrote in my creative writing class? It's the first story in the fiction section.
