Writing Update
Personal Information is back - look for the new episode on http://futurismic.com tomorrow. The story picks up three months after Part I ended, with Ginny in her second trimester; she and Viv are living on the mainland until they can adopt Michel, the Angolan government having accepted him as an orphaned survivor of the ferryboat explosion (actually his family were pirates, but they're just as dead). They're continuing their work as marine biologists by way of jobs monitoring the local fisheries. Not sure yet what the other characters are up to.
Cheshirelcat, on Deviant Art, has convinced me to try my hand at a steampunk story, so we'll see how that goes - it's actually shaping up to be more of an anti-steampunk, in that it's mostly about a gardener trying to cope with the polluted air of the mid-19th century. Getting a bit bogged down in the research, as Victorian gardening techniques were very complex and sophisticated - I want this story to be about slightly reconfiguring the technologies that actually existed at the time.
ETA - my BtVS/OFOtCN crossover fic has stalled, largely because I can't think of a possible ending apart from a giant apocalyptic catfight between Glorificus and Nurse Ratchett; which would be a pretty good ending, I'm just not sure how to write it yet.
