So four of the stories I picked made it into
Allegory this month. I'm sure that sounds incredibly silly, but I always take a certain amount of pride in being able to point to a story and say, "I totally picked that one." Reflected glory and all that.
(In case you were wondering, 8 stories appear each quarter, so that's a LOT. With that said, last time 0 made it. So my hit rate is often no better than that of the people submitting.)
