Fiction becoming...

Years ago, when we were in grad school, a friend and I came up with the idea of creating an academic journal. It would be titled TenureJournal: The Cross-Disciplinary Report, and it would be dedicated to publishing whatever papers came its way, from whatever disciplines, and of whatever quality, so that their authors could stack up publications on their CVs and applications for tenure, with a nominal peer review whose committee made up of other academics trying to pad their CV and make it look like they were active in the field.

Apparently this isn't as much of a joke as we thought.
