I've finally finished the first draft of my sparklyglee story. It's a good thing I have an in with the organisers and got an extension.

I'm happy with how it turned out, and know it'll be much better once my crack team of beta readers cast their beady eyes over it. I was worried about getting it done at one point. Though it wasn't his fault, James kept distracting me. Though man, the day he asked why I hadn't started the story earlier so it was done on time I nearly strangled him. It's just not that easy!

I have to admit to looking at the stories being submitted and being full of glee. Vaudevilles and I have made a challenge! I know, I'm a loser.

In none gleeful news. James has been signed off work for another week. He's still not at all well, though I suspect stress is contributing in some way.

I'd talk about Doctor Who, but my comments basically go to, OMG!

Lastly, thank you to everyone who are leaving comments at Corey's site. He's very excited right now, and keeps asking me to refresh the page. You're all wonderful for taking the time.

I want to draw your attention to a sparkly community that I think is kind of cool.

boyleidoscope is one of a kind as far as I know. Each week a theme is chosen and you then have to write something relating to that theme. For example, one of the themes has been magic, so I'd submit a story relating to magic. It can be anything from a drabble to a full story and it's not about how good you are as a writer, it's how you interpret the theme.

If you submission wins, you get a piece of artwork based on your story, and believe me, dark_sanction does good work. Check out this for example.

The way I see it is if you join you get to see both fic and art. Surely a win win situation.
