Well, that's another week over and done with, so it's time for the open thread. It was a blog-writing week for me, which is always a busy one - at the moment I'm about a thousand words into The Christmas Invasion, which will post not this Monday but next, with one more post to do over the weekend. I'm also in the midst of some housekeeping on the blog, and failing spectacularly not to have large swaths of my time eaten by laying groundwork for the British Comics Project, which in no way needs to be done now, but which seems to want to be played with, so, you know, obey the muse.

Actually, one of these days I should start talking about what I have planned for that project, which secretly has a real name now instead of "the British Comics Project" and a bunch of cool ideas on structure and scope. And nothing resembling a way it will ever turn into neat and orderly books that people will want to buy. So I'll probably have to figure out some other way of funding that. (Current candidate: write myself about a month-wide buffer and offer cheap monthly subscriptions to read a month ahead instead of at the public blog pace.) 

Currently I plan to let that run alongside the last month or two of TARDIS Eruditorum, which probably has a bit more than a year left to run. So it probably is too early to start revealing much of anything.

So let's turn the question around - what creative projects are you working on?

One of you I know the answer for. Josh Marsfelder has been getting underway with Vaka Rangi. Josh is one of my longest standing readers, and I've been nagging him to do an episode-by-episode blog of Star Trek for ages, mainly because I want to read one and will never get around to writing one. If TARDIS Eruditorum is a history of the utopian possibilities of the particularly British image of eccentric spaces and portals to faerie, Vaka Rangi is a history of the utopian possibilities and problems of the American image of the frontier. It's intelligent, often scathing, and one of the most exciting blogs I've seen start recently. Go get in while catching up is still a quick job.

In the mean time, what are the rest of you up to creatively?
