First off, apologies to my wonderful readers for this little bit of subterfuge. I know it's been forever since I've updated BTY but fear not! I haven't abandoned this story. Far from it. You'll all be happy to know that I've scaled the Matterhorn of all writer's blocks and will be posting Chapter 11 some time next week. So thank you all for the kind reviews, the nudges and the way you've been rooting for this story. It means so much to me and, really, I wouldn't have gotten this far without all of you guys.

Now for the good stuff: in case you haven't heard, I've teamed up with my partner in crime maggiequeen on a very ambitious project to write a revamped Glee role reversal with Rachel Berry as McKinley's resident badass queen and Noah Puckerman as the misunderstood glee loser. You know, as if we didn't have enough to do as it is. Because we told ourselves, "It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it" ;)

Basically, we've been working on it since November and the number of emails that have been exchanged…lemme tell ya, Hotmail and Gmail should be paying us. From the set lists to the characterization to whether or not a certain haircut works on a character, we've talked about it. Hell, we could write a thesis about it at this point. It's a lot of work but honestly, I've never enjoyed writing more. Our fic is called the planets bend between us and we're officially known as the joker and the queen. I promise you - it's nothing like you've seen before. There will be massive amounts of slushie, amazing songs, epic drama, some wonderful humor and banter, swordfights (okay, maybe no swordfights…) and a lovely Puckleberry romance in the middle of it all.

So come check us out! You won't regret it :)
