gypsylady created an original RP character in Askverse, T the Time Agent. Of All The Gin Joints features T in a CoE fixit fic, but it's not parody/crack -- the other characters are the canon Torchwood crew. I have a soft spot for Time Agency OCs, because we all want to know know what Jack (and John) used to be like, and T knew-them-when. Canon pairings + T(Tessa)/Andy

cookiesofkarma is getting her writing mojo back (yays!) and explores Tosh's feelings for Owen in Unrequited. I really love what she's done with the imagery here. Angsty!
I spent $18 on candy yesterday to hand out to trick-or-treaters and it was gone by 8:15. Less than an hour and a half. The last load was 20 kids. AT ONCE. Getting cleaned out early is probably a good thing, because I was starting to dip into the sour gummy worms and Butterfingers...

Thanks for the rec. :D

Date: 2009-11-01 04:17 pm (UTC)I was a meanie for Halloween (dressed in standard-issue imitation Morticia kit), and only handed out sugarless candy.

Yes, all sizes of fic this weekend!
