002 Don't remember if I ever read a present tense book (I've seen some fanfic in the present tense though). Do you know GrammarGirl's blog? She wrote an article about present tense books. Scroll to the bottom for a short, incomplete list of popular novels in the present tense. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/present-tense-novel.aspx
004 I may have to agree that Dollhouse 2 has been really slow. In retrospect the pacing is just as slow as the first season started. But after the fast changing latter episodes, we hoped they could keep the momentum. I heard that Dollhouse had an half-season guarantee BUT a cut in budget; I wonder if that short-changed the rest of the cast? Except for Echo, Paul, & Topher, the rest has have their hours cut short. There are episodes when Sierra, Victor, and even BOYD don't appear :( I wish they'd get to the business of the Dollhouse-mythology arc but alas, it still seems engagement of the week blahs.
005 Stars Hallow? Like Eastwick might crossover with Gilmore Girls???
006 apocabigbang sounds interesting - I haven't heard of it before. Might be a gentler alternative to NanoWriMo.
