I should be committed (again)

[51stcenturyfox]

I just signed up for tardis_bigbang  (See, technically I haven't been committed yet, but this is a major step in that direction.)

Now I have to write that freakin' Owen v.2.0 story.  Owen Harper, loose in the mainframe.  Run away!

Nnnghhh... I'm feeling drawn to it. But I don't want to regret it. But then I might regret not doing it. asdfhghj.

But yay for Owen fic!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Breaking it down into chunks over the coming months, it's not too daunting.

At first I thought it was a one-month challenge, but that would be insanity.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense. Okay, you've talked me into it. It's less than NaNo, and I've done that. Though this appears to be for polished fic (by the end of it) where NaNo can just be crap that no one ever has to see. Which is an aspect I like, lol.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yes, NaNo freaks me out, even if it's just supposed to be words on a page. :)

What's your premise?

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

Basically, Gwen wakes up in a parallel universe where she's married to Ianto. She's completely taken the place of her other-world counterpart. Since they don't know how she got there, they don't know how to get her (and their Gwen) back. The longer she stays there, other-Gwen's memories start bleeding through and she kind of loses what's real, and starts doubting her "canon" existence.

...when I put it like that, it reminds me of that one episode of Buffy. Except being married to Ianto is way better than being institutionalized.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

That sounds really amazing. Whoa.

I'm really looking forward to this story. I love parallel universe tales and Gwen/Ianto? Yes!

I love this already. No pressure. ;)

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

Haha. The idea basically came from seeing so many "something crazy happens to Ianto" fics. Which I like, and have a plethora of bunnies for, but I wanted to do something else, so "something crazy happens to Gwen" seemed to work and it just went from there.

Plus, yeah, I love Gwen/Ianto. It'll have a little Jack/Gwen, too. This is the one I wasn't sure would have an audience because it has absolutely no slash. The extent of the slash is Gwen mentioning that Jack and Ianto are together in her world. However, I know I have people who read my stuff, so it's not all for nothing. :D

Oh, it will! There's even a comm: http://community.livejournal.com/gwenianto

(And a few fics there I haven't read yet, I see. Yay.)

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Owen Fic! My fave. Looking forward to it:)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Excellent icon!

Can you go to 20k words with your Adam fic? Or is that unlikely? (Or you're too busy?)

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

Do you mean the one I'm working on now? I should check my word count, but it is actually a Suzie POV including Gwen and lots of talk about Owen.

I was working on it last night and it does keep getting longer and longer.

maybe?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

There are only a few days to sign up - so you could (and if you don't finish or do something else nobody is going to chase you down and whip you or anything).

Well, Suzie might if you don't finish her story, because she doesn't forgive easily, does she? (Crazy!)

ETA: Non-crazy punctuation.

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

"Well, Suzie might (whip you) if you don't finish her story, because she doesn't forgive easily, does she? (Crazy!)"

Yes, Truly batshit, but that might be putting it lightly.

And if Indira Varma wanted to whip me, I would raise the bar on my pain threshold just for her;)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

She's gorgeous, Indira. It's a real shame she wasn't in more episodes, and that they keep... killing her.

Underutilized actor icon is obvious.

[shapinglight]

Is the mainframe the TW computer? If so, I think it would be a steal (erm - hope I've got that expression right).

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

This is something I started a while back but never went back to it. Have got the plot worked out, but the details? Nope! ;)

[shapinglight]

Can't help there, but I like Owen and I'm sure you'll do something good with it. I'll look forward to reading it.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Whew, I'm so glad someone is going to read it! *Happy!* ;)

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

welcome to the madness

your story idea sounds fantastic

(I'm 5000 words in... you can do it!)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oh, you've got a fantastic start! I did read through the signups to make sure I wasn't doing something similar to anyone else, but can't recall all of them. What are you working on?

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Hi

Donna moving to Cardiff, of course is never allowed to remember but becomes target to lots of the Doctor's old enemies who think she's still DoctorDonna - TW get to protect her but Donna will get her moment of becoming bigger on the inside - sacrificially but I'm determined to give her a happily ever after without ever remembering (still working out the exact details on that one)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Sounds really interesting. I LOVE Donna to bits!

(And hate what happened to her.)

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Thanks, so do I and that's why this WILL be written

btw - love your icon!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Thank you... it's by cowboyhd, who makes bangin' art.

[alba17.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I possibly may sign up to do a video.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ooh!

I'm so envious and wish I had that skill. I have used an ACE editor but am too much of a moron to navigate Sony Vegas.

The last time I edited video the machines had knobs on them, but at least it was past the "cut the loop with a razor blade" era.

[alba17.livejournal.com]

I'm very much a beginner, but I'm trying. I'm almost done with another TW vid. Like your new journal design.

[cookiesofkarma.livejournal.com]

OWEN FIC? 8D

I love you. Please please please do write this! Even if you make Owen a nasty evil person. It shall still be fantastic. Damn, now I want some Owen!fic. XD. Maybe I'll go sift through the stuff on whofic.

Oh, and I like your new colour scheme, btw. And the header. ^^ *Drifts off to nowhere in particular*

Ohmygod I've just realised I have no Owen icon. My life is over.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I am TOTALLY writing this. I've had this boiling for weeks. Months!

:)

OWEN LOVE!!!

[cookiesofkarma.livejournal.com]

In which case it shall be epic! All 51stcenturyfox writing is epic. I hope you're blushing. xD

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

YES DAMMIT.

Now it has to not suck as well as being long?

DAMN THIS PRESSURE! :D

[cookiesofkarma.livejournal.com]

Now I remember why I never sign up for anything.

*Sings badly*
Under pressure! lalala...
*Has no idea how the rest of the song goes*

Good luck with all this. xD
