About this article on the Believer and its supposed incestuousness. On one hand, I'd like to be able to say- Yes! all written works should be published based on talent, not on who knows who! On the other hand, who am I kidding? Submissions editors get hammered from all sides by mostly unreadable mush- it's probably comforting to read something by someone who you can at least think can string together a fairly grammatically correct sentence, and knows that your Home and Garden magazine isn't the place for poorly written erotic fanfic about 7 of 9 and her tits.
