...for a really quick fic-pimping. Right here. Name of "Positivity," by Rave. It's Domlijah. No, don't run away. I mean to say, it's actually a good Domlijah. No shmoop, no PR, no domestic bliss.

New Line says it could be ready for release in 2005.

The man who brought us Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead AND The Invention of Love is writing the screenplay to the Philip Pullman trilogy? Say it with me: KICK ASS!!! Now if only they can find some kids who can act...
