But nevertheless, I think it's the right time, and I'm interested to find out what G5 will bring. What a ride it's been, though. And it won't stop just because the show does.

It's ages since I've entered a writing contest, but then it's also ages since I wrote a story that didn't involve custard. Shrink Laureate's got me interested in changing that, with the Season 9 Bingo Writing Contest, which kicks off in a few days. (I don't know exactly when as no precise date is stated.) The way this works is that you get dealt five random bingo cards from the S9 bingo deck
