Okay. See, I always had better sense than to go and be 'educated' as a writer. And now, I see the agony of too few slots for too many applicants. This story did hit a deep sympathetic cord, especially as my mind conjures faceless unhappy cranky Profs making the final decisions. And the line "All female characters must have brains in their heads, so as not to be misogynist", is one I will remember. So, Anne - what's your next story about?
