But they pay like everybody else (actually, I think they might pay better than everybody else), so I've got no complaints.

The backstory: when the editors of the special edition cooked up the idea for the fiction section, they decided that they wanted to mix recognizable names with unknowns who would get their first break on the site. A reporter at the rag threw my name in the ring, the editors bopped over, they checked out the WFCs, dug what they saw enough to give me the chance, then contacted me about writing up a piece.
