Recs and things

[51stcenturyfox]

Gonna rec something...  I helped to beta-read this story this week, and I MEANT to read a bit and do other stuff, but I loved it and couldn't stop reading. :D



Title: Intersecting Geodesics  (Chapter 1 of 5)
Author: nancybrown
Rating: R (language, situations, violence)
Spoilers: up through CoE, brief mentions of events from "Pack Animals," "Almost Perfect" and "Lost Souls"
Characters: Ianto, Jack, John, (Eleven and announced companion)
Warnings/AN: Various shades of dub-con, non-descriptive mentions of sex trafficking, character death. I am operating under the assumption that John Hart is Captain Bad Touch, and so should you for the duration of this story.
Wordcount: 36,000 overall, 7,500 this section
Summary: Stuck in the wrong time with a Jack who hasn't met him yet, all Ianto really wants is a way home.

I've also had a peek at iamshadow 's omnijaxual story and I loooove it!  Should... get started on mine. BLADE RUNNER.

Friends seem to have written RPS and I EGGED THEM ON. :D  (I am not really sorry. At all. LOLZ.)

Please go and sign up for the reel_torchwood challenge? It's only 1,000 words. I'm doing a crossover for Torchwood/Secretary. Someone's going to get a spanking.  Ain't sayin' who.

The posse are taking pictures of themselves wearing little braids! I'm loving the braids. They would look dorky on me, I suspect.

...and Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians!  (A day early!)

I'll enter the reel_torchwood thing if you'll beta it for me ;) I've never used a beta before and I'm a little shy about asking :p

I really really want to do Brief Encounter, lol.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Brief Encounter! I love this idea!

And of course I'll beta for you. :)

[lucy-locket.livejournal.com]

I have literally no ideas for it right now. Like, I can write anything as long as it's based somehow on Brief Encounter? The team going to see the movie, Gwen/Ianto as Laura/Alec (do really want)? Lol, too many questions :p

I'll rewatch the movie (which is no major struggle for me :p) and hopefully ideas will form...

And aww, thanks! =D

YW!

It's weird that I didn't choose Breakfast at Tiffany's, really.

Defy expectations... ;)

[pocketmouse]

...I promised myself I wouldn't do any challenges, but I sincerely think Amelie rewritten to be Tosh/Andy would be amazing.

Damn you, RPG.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

OMG, you should!

1,000 words! Just 1,000. :D

[pocketmouse]

I'm afraid of the style problems. But I just might do it...

(Owen as the old man who lives downstairs)

[pocketmouse]

Looks like someone else has snagged it. I might do it on my own eventually, though. With enough bribery. ;)

[nancybrown.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec!

I signed up for the challenge. I've been seeing the scenes in my head anyway. Might as well share. ;)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yes, you should! Hee!

It's a clever idea, crossing over with a film. :D

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

EVRYFCKING1 is gonna sign up for some hot foxy beta lovin', with all these challenges! Just make sure you leave some time for yer own stuff. BLADE RUNNER OMG.

Meep.

Lots to catch up on.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

How are you? *hugs*

I'll leave time! Need the *poke* from a challenge sometimes, though. ;)

I thought about doing Hedwig for reel_torchwood and I think it'd be cool, but I just don't have the time and patience to add that to my plate I think too much RPS, uh.

But whoohoo

(and no braids from me, yo)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE ON YOUR PLATE TOO.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

I KNOW

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO ADD THAT IT IS NOT COCKLES.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

porn sausage

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THEY PUT THE SAUCE ON THE SIDE FOR YOU.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

THIS SHIT IS CRYPTIC, YO.

IS IT SEKRIT?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

No, I just emailed him and C earlier about the b&B I'm staying at in Cardiff, and we had a discussion of their breakfast layout. N thinks the eggs benedict has too much hollandaise on it. And he called it "porn" sausage instead of porn, because he has a one track mind.

ETA: ER, PORK SAUSAGE. My mind is apparently one track too.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

AMAND_R GOT A ONE-TRACK MIND.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I doesn't help that I have been listening to the same three songs from the askverse soundtrack all day.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Which three?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

TI, Chromeo and Chubawumba.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

SECRETARY. ZOMG ILU, BB.

I need some wires to put in my braids--Pippi!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Bend those braids up!

I remember reading that as a kid, and I had an illustrated version where Pippi was hanging upside-down from a tree with these horizontal braids. Too awesome.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

NICE!!

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

I really need to avoid writing Torchwood fic right now since I have assignments to do for a short creative writing course I'm doing at the moment.

Though the challenge sounds very interesting. Good luck though.
