Brrr
 

The clocks went back last weekend here in the UK. The transition from BST (British Summer Time) to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) also known as UTC - or as my Grandmother liked to call it, back from Government time to God's Time - means that sunrise, instead of happening at the perfectly reasonable hour of between 6.45 & 7 suddenly switched back to closer to 6am. Which is not good news in a week where I don't have to be up that early. Nobody told the damn' pigeons I didn't have to be up until 7. They started tap-dancing along the gutter above my window - no, clog-dancing - with hobnailed boots, at 5.30 this morning. And at roughly the same time somewhere approaching 50,000 blackbirds decided on a world record dawn chorus. I tell you those bloody little beggars are lucky that this is England and there is no ready access to guns or there would be feathers from here to Glasgow!!

The weather seems to have decided that the clocks changing is a good indicator that winter is on the way. So today it gave us a little taster. It rained. Then it rained a lot more. Then it hailed. And it hailed more heavily. Then it hailed so badly that all the little feathered alarm clocks shut up & went into hiding. Right now it's 0c (32f) and they're predicting a really heavy frost with temps in minus figures & a possibility of snow on the moors. I don't want to play any more. Is it spring yet??

What the heck have you stumbled upon? Well, it's simple really...Uber Etc. is a place to find links to alt f/f fan fiction on the web. We're nutty enough to attempt to cover many different genres including original works.

What else will you find here? News and opinion from the two grunts who run the place. We'll try and get writers to chat for us every so often. If you've got something you'd like to promote or get off your chest and it relates to f/f fiction, drop us a line. We're always open to rambles.
