You have to laugh, or you'd cry...

Spin - any faster, John, and your government will whirl right up its own 'profound convictions and fundamentals'.

Taken from here , sent to me by Seraph. Two very good articles on the state of world politics, and Australia in particular. It makes me want to go out and hit something. Preferably John Howard or Phillip Ruddock.

With a steamroller.

Done and posted.

I've just posted the last two chapters of Death and the Art of Pyramid Selling to OTL and Southern Stars, and the whole story, all seven chapters, to Horn and Ivory. Apologies to those on all three lists who are going to get some serious repetition. But I'm done, and it's posted, and I can finally say goodbye to the story that's been occuoying a large portion of my writing brain for the past year and a half. Final stats; 24,450 words, seven chapters, and a body count of around eight. No pigeons this time, though. *grins*

I'll probably have a couple of days of not-writing to give my brain a rest, and then tackle some of the other outstanding projects. Of which, Happily Ever After, the (pleaseohpleaseletitbetruethistime) final Collective Mutants story. I'm almost done, just have a few more scenes to write. The switch from bloody horror back to character drama/humour will be interesting, I have to say.

In other ficcer news, talk has arisen on the Southern Stars list of an Aussie fanficcer LJ community. I'm willing to create one, but my technical knowledge is lacking and I think it would be better served by someone else doing it. I do have LJ codes to spare if someone else would like to volunteer? I'm sure you guys are sick of me organising/running everything anyway. ;)
