It seems it isn't enough for supporters of Prop 8 to ban same sex marriage in California. Now they're trying to get the existing marriages of people who married while it was legal forcibly annulled. See this article on [livejournal.com profile] queeractivism 

The California Courage Campaign reports that Ken Starr (of Clinton-Whitewater-Monica-Lewinsky infamy) & the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund will present their case to the California Supreme Court starting on March 5, 2009 demanding that the Court void 18,000 marriages of same-sex couples that were legally performed between June 16 & November 4, 2008 in that state.

Americans can sign the online petition against this cruel move. Those of us outside the USA, well, I can only suggest that if you haven't already done so, this might be a good time to consider buying the anthology and helping to cut this off at the root.

Such a long time and only half way through!

It's a bit of a milestone :) But with half term coming up for a week from the 16th to the 20th, I think I need to pick up the pace. If I aim to do 2000 words a day I could have it done by the 6th of March and then get onto Dragon of the Fen. Yes, I think that sounds like an idea :)
