Tripods... no, not coming to eat us until Tom Cruise rescues the planet again!

Tripod Mag want submissions. Someting about "The ALternative" by 1st Dec 06. Well, this project seems to fit my style of writing as its often described as a bit "alternative"... annother thing that I quite like the idea of is writing about Leicester... Like Angela Carter I love writing about place but corrupting it and claiming a city as my own through exaggerated fantasy! So I recon that the story I described aboutin yesterday's blog entry might become a bit of this story... let me see what bit of Leicester should i scribble about? The beautiful bits or The Narb and exagerate it until it sounds like Highfield's crack baby? methinks the latter...

I'm going to give this a go too. Might take a bit from my 'Brick and Co' play (must think of an actual title!), and then write it as a short story in dialect.
Or might write about something else instead!
