There's nothing like procrastination to pass the time...

Well, the AU Stargate thing is finally done (first draft anyway) - it didn't quite reach novel length, since it currently stands at just over 37,000 words in first draft form. I don't see that it's going to get that much longer when revised, since I really don't believe in padding for the sake of it.

In case anyone's interested, it's called 'Journeys End' and will hopefully be appearing in Off the Record, a slash 'what if?' zine, premiering at MediaWest.

What's it about? Well, it has Daniel Jackson figuring out how to open the Stargate, and Jack O'Neill getting to be the first one to go through it, but I don't want to spoil the overall premise - trust me, this is *not* a story you'll have read before! ;) At the moment I'm still trying to write a summary that doesn't give everything away!

I'm also working on a lengthy season 5 gen re-write for the companion gen zine Splinters 2, and a Man from UNCLE story for Relative Secrecy 8 (which has turned into Napoleon Solo and his mid-life crisis! *g*)

And yes, I am procrastinating because assignment number 3 is due in on Friday, why do you ask? ;)

ETA: I forgot to post that I got 60 for assignment number 2, so we're still well on target to go onto year 2 (which requires an average of 50 across the four assignments).
