I have _got_ to get the New Dr Who DVD boxed set soon. My fanfic LJ's flist is wall-to-wall "Omygod Who spinoff! After the watershed! With bisexual character as lead!" this morning... My chances of avoiding spoilers for the main series have just plummeted, I suspect. And such Who coverage as I have been unable to avoid suggests to me that I'd really quite like the spinoff as well.
In my own "coming soon" news, I've been given a release date for Spindrift 2: Ship to Shore. In the code used by Loose Id, it will be available Soon, but not Very Soon. We can't give actual release dates, in case the date has to be changed. (It's a small press. It is vulnerable to the perversity of the universe.) I've also seen the draft of the cover for the paperback of The Syndicate, and it's quite nice.
900 words on First Footer on Friday. None on Saturday, because we had visitors this weekend, but I managed to get in 1200 words on Sunday when everyone else was out. It's just short of 28,000 words total at the moment. Time to start reminding it that it's supposed to be a novella, because it looks as if I could easily write three times that length. And all that cat-vacuuming on wikipaedia was not in vain. It has occurred to me that there may be yet another reason why a matriarchal culture might choose the UK for its initial negotiations with Earth. Fortunately for my readers, "Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been" is probably still within copyright, and thus can't be quoted.
