More Torchwood fun

[51stcenturyfox]

I love you, fandom. You are so entertaining that we might not even need a Series 3*. (BITE YOUR TONGUE.)

After a Dalek was discovered in a Hampshire pond and Torchwood dealt with it in their typically professional, effective and sexy manner, rm and kalichan decided to form a community to write about it (or you could create art. Haiku? Macros? Whatev).

Voila. dalekinthepond

From their instructions: This challenge/ficathon is for fics determining how and why the Dalek made it there.



*or maybe we need it as soon as possible because we're all losing our minds.

I may never stop saying "you littered a dalek!"

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

*rolls*

This was a great idea. I've pimped it on twitter as well.

I'm thinking about a sonnet, myself.

[rm.livejournal.com]

OMG, that would be brilliant!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oh, the pressure is definitely on now. Whee!

There's The Hub, next weekend (THAT WILL KEEP US GOING FOR AGES XD ), John's show is coming soon, and there'll be at least one of the DW specials, all before June.

But, otherwise, yes, hurry up, show!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I SO wanted to go to The Hub con, but the timing was off for trips to the UK.

You'll do a report/pictures, I hope?

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

Awww hellz, I love those guys SO HARD!! Brilliant.

Why hasn't ihasatardis jumped all over that picture??

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

It is!

YOUR ICON. Perfect.

Good question. I thought about making a macro for that last night but couldn't come up with a suitably non fail-y tagline.

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm no good at that shit, either. I am trying to come up with a drabble for the comm, although I am not sanguine as to my abilities at writing non-porn. It's unnatural.

I've got porn and meta and satire and cat macros all jostling for head space right now! It's all TOO MUCH! I need a time out.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

"...although I am not sanguine as to my abilities at writing non-porn. It's unnatural.

You could write Dalek porn. Davros frottage?



I'm scaring myself.

[oneloveonelight.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, Davros "porn" has been done. *OHHHH, MY EYESSS!!11!*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

This is the strangest fandom in the history of... everything.

(With the exception of Star Trek. Maybe.)


I think I need a nap.

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

*butts in* Hi! Have you joined our fangirly comm?

[oneloveonelight.livejournal.com]

Ooh, which one? I'm in ninja_teaboy and torchwoodslash BUT I admit I never post to those. I love writing, I just don't usually have the time. But read, I do!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Get a room, you two.

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

You know what's scary? I could actually do that. It would be hurt/comfort, but I could do it.

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

I just tried to explain to my 72-year-old Mom why it's so side-splittingly hilarious that someone on the internet created a community for people to write stories based in a television scifi show's universe to explain why a real-life tv show prop ended up in a pond in Hampshire.

*takes a breath*

It didn't work very well. ;)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Some things are best left unexplained.

Just sayin'.




(You didn't tell her that we spend hours reading/writing porn about television characters, did you?)

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

Oh hell, she already knows all about slash and fanfic, I've been talking to her about it for years. She was a bit confused by my Snarry phase, but with Torchwood, she just pats me on the head and lets me rave. The Moms is cool. *grins*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Really?

Heh. Yes, I'm in the closet barring friends on LJ, and co-workers with equally time-consuming internet hobbies.

Ayush: "LEVEL FUCKING SIX!"

Us: "STFU. Working over here."

Ayush: (abashed) "Oh, shit. sorry, you guys."

*Minutes pass*

Ayush: (muttering) "I fucking rule, though."

[andreth47.livejournal.com]

:-))

[alba17.livejournal.com]

I go with your footnote as opposed to "we might not even need a Series 3". And the comm sounds hilarious, yes.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

We do need a Series 3! So we can have more kissing and fanvids, clearly.

And I do not think that the silly will stop with S3 coming. :)

[oneloveonelight.livejournal.com]

I agree, we need at least one more (hopefully a lot more, please, Beeb?) hot boy kissing scene. It's gotta be at LEAST 5 seconds long, so we can stretch that into another year's worth of fanvids, picspam and general Woodie fappage.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I LOVE SLO MO.

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

To Oneloveonelight, I gotta say: that is the coolest icon ever!

[oneloveonelight.livejournal.com]

I wish I could take credit for it. I make icons on occasion but only occasionally. This icon came from the mastermind that is cowboyhd . He makes the best DW & TW icons, animations, etc. EVAR! Seriously, check him out.

I saw a dalek on my way to work this morning. It seemed very small but was definitely a dalek. It was moving along the street towards my local junior school. I blurted out what I had seen in panic to someone once I got to work and was informed, in a response that seemed to be completely unrelated and lacked an apparent grasp on the gravity of the situation, that it is World Book Day and lots of kids had fancy dress day at school.

But I digress.

Dalek haiku, you say?

Ignominious
end for one of such a race:
Algae on eyestalks.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

*wild applause*

That's the best Dalek haiku I've ever read. It's the first one I've ever read, but you never forget your first Doctor Dalek haiku.

I love that you saw that Dalek this morning.

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Grr. Stupid Gmail stacks up my messages and I missed this comment. This is the only clean haiku I've ever written. All the rest have been filthy :p

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Filthy haiku? *perk*

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, y'know, stuff like

Pearl necklace goes round
my neck! Spunk in the eye stings.
Pass me a towel.

That kind of thing...

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oh, my husband loved that. He didn't get the Dalek haiku. He doesn't watch sci-fi unless it involves women in spandex (Seven of Nine).

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

And speaking of writing...

This weekend... a little frottage comment porn battle is taking place, if you're interested. ;)

[filthgoblin.livejournal.com]

If only I had not been so ingloriously deserted by my smutbrain. I haven't had a sexy thought in weeks :/

I will swing by to see what others have to offer, though :)

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the pimp! Mind if I friend?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

You're more than welcome! Of course... do friend away!
