I'm excitified! It's a) fun and b) worthwhile and c) something I can put in my creative-writing bio. "Amy Brown is an occaisional contributor to FUSE magazine". Hell, I could put it in my academic CV, in the bit where you talk about how you're an interesting human being as well as a literary analysis machine. If I keep writing pop-culture articles, could possibly assert that I'm using my academic literary analysis skills FOR THE WIN THE PUBLIC GOOD.
