So they're looking for writers who are "irreverent" and "cynical", but not "jaded". Hmm.

Most magazines are content to point out that my writing stinks, but I've yet to get a rejection letter telling me that I'm just not hip enough.

gotta love a job posting that specifically asks for no cover letter. but they might want to learn to spell "intelligent," and get down the difference between "your" and "you're," before putting their "far superior site" together.

I'm already over it and the magazine hasn't even been published yet.

yay! the soft, chalky differences between gothic soft-core porn and getting a story in the mississippi review have finally been erased.
