Goals for tonight/tomorrow...

[letterblade]

(Went to TGI Friday's for STEAKGASM. OMG SO GOOD.)

1. Edit/code/archive my three recent fic excursions--Jadeite/Naru, Gerald/Damien, Jack/Rose.

2. Type in the first chapter of my new bunny.......my attempt to write several things I haven't written in ages: plot, humor, not too wordy, dialogue-heavy. The title? "How the Pteradon Fixed Doomsday, Sortof." Yup, pure self-serving crack. Been bogged down in heavy literary shit. At least that's my current running theory. We'll see if it works. Wish to finish it before the new season, so...

3. ...catch up on my LJ comments again. *hides*

Oh, and, Doctor!Scarf Meter:

62 / 1,040 (6.0%)

To be upped later tonight as I [finally] finish Torchwood. (Well, sans the three episodes Cyn skipped--Small Worlds, Countrycide, and Random Shoes--the first two of which at least I will definitely watch at some point, but not as urgent.)

Why is it still fucking with my head that writing isn't easy like it used to be? :/

That is a hilarious title and I can't wait to read it.

*grins* Now let's see how I can work it around the ending of Torchwood. Hmm...

oh man, i wanna see torchwood so bad. i don't have room to download it, though. D: must burn stuff.

The Torchwood Inventory:

1. Passable premiere
2. Fun
3. Quite good!
4. Alternately really B-movie and really good
5. Skipped on first watch due to apparent mediocrity, so don't know
6. Ditto
7. Torrid lesbian love affairs for the win
8. Quite good!
9. Skipped on first watch due to apparent total suckage
10. MINDBLOWINGLY GOOD
11. Opinions vary; I liked it quite a bit, as Owen is a fascinating little asshole
12. MINDBLOWINGLY GOOD
13. Quite good for the first while, then a bad plot choice made things really, really suck for a while, then good again at the very very end

I'm definitely going to check it out, soon as I get the chance. Thanks for the guide!

*waves* Remember me? From...2 fandoms ago? XD

Just wanted to say 'yay Torchwood!' (And DW s3 omg.)

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

Also, Ten/Jack from you would be the most awesome thing ever. (There's really not enough of it in the world at large.)

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

...sooooooooooo hard to write! Particularly since I'm going for a very specific sexual dynamic, which I don't want to spoil, and Jack has to drag the Doctor into it, but...yeah, I'm trying, I so am.

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

It's hard to do, yeah, and I don't think it's ever really been done well from Ten's POV yet - which, fair enough, since it's so difficult writing the Doctor.

(Ten does have a weird sort of sexuality compared to Nine, doesn't he?)

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

...y'know, you're the second person to suggest writing this bunny from the Doctor's POV. I was convinced it had to be from Jack's...I'm not entirely sure anymore, but it would require scrapping all I have, and good god damn you want to talk about difficult voices...

asdfkjalskdjflaksjdf STIIIIIIIICK *HUGS*

Where have you beeeeeeeen?

and...and...you share my current fandom SQUEE!

Yay Torchwood indeed! Very uneven, but when it's good, it's good. Mostly due to Jack, who I love SO much. And Owen, who I love in that asshole-but-fascinating-character sort of way.

*burbles*

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

*Grin* I took a break from fandom. And RL got crazy. But I'm in danger of being dragged in by the awesomeness that is Ten(nant) and of course the idea of Jack being back on DW. Maybe I'll finally get my writing mojo back. But for now all I want to write is meta on how Ten is scarier than Nine and why that makes me love him a lot.

You're totally right about Torchwood - and it's got so much potential! I hope the scripts pick up a bit more in s2, but even the way it is, it's rather shiny and unique isn't it?

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

...that sounds like rockin' meta. XD Ten is scary, delightfully so--it's part of what makes him so much fun!

And you getting your writing mojo back would be a very good thing. Still kinda working on mine; Arcana Viscera killed me ded.

One also wonders whether they intend to continue Torchwood without Jack...I haven't heard on that point yet. Would remove much though not all of the point; honestly, if you remove Jack, the character carrying the series is Owen, and that could go some very odd places.

*hugs* Good luck with the RL!

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

Ten is scary, delightfully so--it's part of what makes him so much fun!
*nods vigorously* Ahh, hubris. It's my favourite thing about him, which says a lot as my Ten love is great.

Arcana Viscera killed me ded.
Understandably! That fic was astounding, both in the scope of its ambition and in its wonderful execution.

As for Jack and Torchwood, I've spoiled myself a bit with how that's going to go, but I won't comment in case you wish to remain spoiler free. *grin*

Re: POV, I think just go with what feels most natural to you. If you've already got some written with Jack, then it'd be a pity to scrap that. I'm looking forward to the results. ^^

Good luck with the RL!
You too! XD

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

I would like to remain spoiler-free, yes. XD Thanks!

...you see, somehow you caused this little voice in the back of my head to pipe up saying "Ten's POV, second person, you can do it!"

To which my reaction was naturally to throw things.

I think this was the same little overachieving voice which had me spending a lunch break shuffling words around in my notebook trying to comprehend the Dalek mindset. (You want to talk alien...?)

[stickmarionette.livejournal.com]

...you see, somehow you caused this little voice in the back of my head to pipe up saying "Ten's POV, second person, you can do it!"
I'm...sorry? *Grin* But that sounds intriguing. I wish the voices in the back of my head would give me something other than snippets of dialogue.

Oooh, Daleks. I love Daleks. The scariest scene out of s2 for me was actually the Cybermen in the tunnels, but the Daleks are infinitely superior. (By the way, I haven't finished watching s2 yet - am about halfway through and pacing myself. I am very spoiled, though.)

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

Oh, the voice in the back of my head is not giving me coherent narration, at least not enough to go on. And I do not think I'm clever enough to pull off second-person Doctor, any Doctor, never mind Ten. Capturing that sheer super-human flow of information and thought...grah.

Ohhh, there are parts of Doomsday you will get a kick out of. I know I did. Best Daleks evah!
