On October 12th, I got an e-mail announcing the Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Awards. The e-mail included a call for genre short stories between 1,500 and 4,000 words with an early bird deadline of October 16th. Winners would get their work published, receive prize money, and be paid to attend a conference.

You hear this sentiment from literature lovers all the time, but not in so many words. They’re the ones who have read every modernist and post-modernist classic, though maybe they are lying about finishing Infinite Jest. When I tell them I read fantasy and sci-fi, they respond with an ominous “oh,” and that look, half distain and half dismay. Everyone knows, fantasy and sci-fi aren’t real literature, but poor pulpy substitutes.
