I just got an amusing rejection letter. I had entirely forgotten that I had applied when the program first started. I have since lost interest, but that’s not why the letter was funny.

I’ll be writing about it later but the highlights are that they don’t tell you why you were rejected and that Ms. Stallings blocked me a while back for pointing out the obvious unfairness of the program. I’ve been boosted seven times myself and given the incredible number of stories published here, I think that’s obviously unfair.

Do they tell you now to concentrate on your own pub? That seems really strange — they certainly weren’t doing that originally.
