Welcome to Fantasy Friday! Every week, you are invited to write and post anything having to do with fantasy, science fiction, etc., right here in the comments: a true tale of holiday geekdom, a bit of a story you’re trying to write, a review of anything from the new Transformers DVD to Ovid’s not-so-new Metamorphoses. Or vice versa. At 4 p.m. — EST this week, ’cause there’s Christmas and Solstice parties a-happenin’! — if we’ve got at least ten participants, we’ll choose the day’s most entertaining writer and PayPal them $10 on the spot. Go start your weekend off with a cold one on us! (Minors, make it a hot chocolate. With a peppermint stick.)
If anyone is missing an SF flavour to their Xmas celebrations then head on over to the website of Jonathan Coulton, quickly becoming the Bob Dylan of Generation Geek and take a listen to his seasonal ditty, Merry Xmas from Chiron Beta Prime.

I think Coulton is a great example of what a little talent, some hard work and lots of insanely catchy musical hooks can do for a person.
And now I’m going to plug my new story up on Serendipity magazine.
