Just a change and to see if anyone other than spambots is taking notice.

You all know the stuff I like.  Kinda.  (Which could mean sorta or the rather lovely Peter Davison Doctor Who story, and hey there’s a band called Castrovalva in York.)  I like British stuff and science fiction and crime and I like artsy stuff and well, I like a lot of stuff.  And despite my occasional puritanical tirades, I’m partial to the old romance, I just don’t like the way it’s often presented, but give me a Princess Bride or a, I dunno, I kinda liked the romance of Tim and Dawn in the Office, and I’m as happy as Mr Stevens at the end of the day in his little room, not telling Miss Kenton that he loves her.

So, is there anything you folks would recommend to me for broadening my horizons?

Also, I am currently planning to submit to Crossed Genres, and they currently want stories involving artefacts or gadgets.  I’ve done a coupla those kind of stories before, but if anyone has any ideas for what sort of artefact or gadget to base my stories around, I’m all ears.  Except the bits that aren’t.  But only suggestions, don’t give me plots for God’s sake because if you do, I’ll assume you’re giving me ownership of that plot and by posting you will be passing the copyright on to me.  He said, crossing his fingers.
