Submission + - Literary Mag Switches to Open Source Slush Pile (fictioncircus.com)
Miracle Jones writes: "The NYC online literary magazine "The Fiction Circus" is pioneering an open-source, living slush pile, where short story submissions are ranked via a Reddit system and editors comments are tracked along with the comments of writers and the general public. The magazine feels that the new system will increase transparency and fairness, while at the same time building a community and training fiction writers to be better at online social networking."
