Subject: Whoop whoop! Morning tiddlypeeps.

So, my awesome news came true. It looks pretty much certain that I'm going to be writing a chapter of a book that's going to be published.

A book about Cult TV.

And I'm replacing a US science-fiction writer who has pulled out of the project.

And it's a chapter about Battlestar frickin' Galactica.

And all the other authors are professors, tv critics, etc. I'm the only non-published writer to be contributing to the book. And I got asked to do it, not the other way round.

*does the happy dance*


Obviously, please keep this schtum from other boards, I just wanted to tell you guys - I may be a published writer soon! Only a 3000 word chapter, but still, it's a damn good start!
