Today brought the last hour of reading the short fiction submissions for Scribendi, the last five stories. It began inauspiciously, with a couple of obvious class projects that weren't all that good. (Especially the one that read like a research paper.) But then I was rewarded for making it to the end with three really, really good stories, apparently all by the same still-anonymous author. I'll probably pick just one of those three for my "top ten" list, because there should be enough other pieces to fill out the list.

Ah, crap. I just realized I'm not acutally finished, because there's one story I skipped before because the first page was missing, and now I have a copy that has all pages intact, so no excuses. Somehow I doubt it will top those last three, though.
