dynamite with a laser beam

Many things to share!

neifile7 has shared her postcard story. Imagine our surprise when a bunch of us began to receive postcards from Italy with fic on them. :D The background, postcards and story are here:

Luna(cy) di Miele, or the Honeymoon Code

The story was written before Martha apparently chucked old Tom and ran off with Mickey instead, so think of it as an AU.

phaetonschariot has made a fanvid in exchange for my help_haiti donation. I asked for an ode to Jack's coat and subjected her to 80s Who music. (80s Who as in Daltrey, not Doctor.) Do you know how hard it is to find songs about coats? It's from Ianto's POV and it's AWESOME.

Don't Let Go The Coat YAYS!

huskyfriends has written me John/Jack (you know I don't have an OTP but they are my O(sex)P!) for a fic meme.

Honey, I'm Home

Coffee tiem!

I was not writing-inspired today, so made smoochy icons instead.



Vintage, Eisenstadt, Doisneau, Sunny Bak, stock

( Sealed with a kiss XOXO )

So, I was tampering with a TARDIS pic last night and trying to stick Torchwood members and maybe Napoleon (Bonaparte, not Dynamite)  in to make the Porn Battle header graphic, and LOL'ing on Twitter about how much I suck at Photoshop, whenbluejeans07  offered to help out. (Go look at her journal header. It's bodacious.)

I've been PWNED! :D  I can only make LOL!graphics which are supposed to be ridic.


I'll post the graphic tomorrow to link. It's freaking awesome.

laurab1  also made a really nice promo banner, with awesome t-shirt Jack, which you can check out here.

Artists, man.  

Aaaaah!  Work ate me whole today.  But now things have lifted off the shoulders a bit and I'd like to rec more things I've beta-read. Damn. It's been my week for reading nice things. (Yes, we can have nice things!)

iamshadow's story features great characterisation and a completely unique setup. It has spoilers for CoE, but you'll like this even if you didn't watch CoE but know the MAJOR plot developments. You'll like it even more if you didn't really dig the major plot developments.  :D

Title: Shift

And Anya has delivered delightfully darkly kinky Ianto.  In my personal fanon, Ianto is a kinkyboots. SRSLY. 


(I liked her disclaimer!)

In case you missed all of the KINKY FIC that's been posted this week, spiderine  has created a lovely list! 

Wow. I've just read some good stuff.

If you've not checked out angstslashhope 's  Not with a bang or a whimper (Five places Ianto's story went next), it's AWESOME. How did I miss this?

rm  and kalichan  are continuing Enough To Go By (YAYS!) and it will now have TEN parts. Is it Christmas already?

filthgoblin  has written smexy  Jack/Rhys fic! I <3 mah rare pairings. They just captivate the hell out of me.

And I danced around while wearing headphones this morning. Sort of like this:

( Dancing: the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music. )

But not to Cake. To Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys. It was inappropriately enthusiastic dancing. think I might have pulled something.  Like a muscle. If I'd danced like that in a club, I guarantee you I wouldn't have pulled anything or anybody who wasn't blind.

ETA: Thank you to torchwood_house  for reccing Askverse last night. We went a little bit... wild.

filthgoblin  has done a podfic of Fearnought. She's so awesome to do this because I begged her to. And she's Welsh, so her accent is lovely.   *dies of awesome*

See, the real point of podfic? BOTH HANDS FREE. So you can type (or drink wine and nom dinner)  while you listen to it!  That is what you do when you read NC-17 fic, obviously.

I have a new header image. Thanks for the Pimm's, copperbadge. The tagline is from an old Löwenbräu advert. LOLZ  - Much love,  Foxy.

...and neifile7  has given me GWENDAIDS:  (This will not... make sense unless you're an Askworld person.)  :D

( Fairy Cakes!  )


ETA:  A lovely picspam from myutopia . Pretty!Dana Scully is pretty. Feast your eyes.

I, uh... didn't actually finish my story. Plot: Owen dies, right? (OMG) And he slowly loses more and more of his sensory perception; the scent of autumn bonfires, the feel of a rose petal against his wrist, the taste of pepperami.  He develops tunnel vision.

So Tosh (OMG the angst!) uses the BethHelmet to secretly upload Owen's psyche into the Hub's mainframe. OHAI, HAL At first he's grr, so angry at her for talking him into this. He becomes even more detached than he was in his decaying form and spends most of his time porning online (like a typical Torchwood fan), THEN he flips out and starts jonesing on tech power like Lawnmower Man and mayhem ensues. AND THEN he has an epiphany + redemption + Tosh dies and is uploaded too + The Doctor takes them to the Silence In The Library/Forest of the Dead planet and they live sappily ever after, but probably with different partners because I just can't ship them. Maybe so after Owen's epiphany, though. It would have been like Digital Shanshu.     

See, it would have taken ages to read that whole saga. Look how much time I just saved you.  TARDIS BITE SIZED!


So, I didn't finish mine, but copperbadge  (sam_storyteller) did, and of course it's awesome (and I know this already because I helped to beta-read it).  It has a wonderful plot and TAROT and the Torchwood team and Sarah Jane and things I'm not going to spoil.  Do go read Sing Morning Out Of Night. :)

I also did cover art for a really nice Andy/Ianto story by the_silver_sun,  A Year Out Of Time. Hope the author likes it. *crosses fingers*

It was hotter than two weasels fornicating in a woolen sock today and I was a guest at an engagement party featuring a romantic hog roast. Yes, they roasted an entire pig on a spit.  It wasn't what I thought, because it was butterflied and flat. You know that scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when Kate Capshaw's laid out in the cage over the fire pit? 



LIKE THAT.  And there was no apple in its mouth. (There was no apple in Kate's mouth, either.)

Note to the loser in the blue boat shoes: pulling the ends of my tied spaghetti straps undone isn't funny the third time. It isn't even funny the first time. It's fercockt. Humidity tries my patience.


Nice things:

catvampcrazines  has written a Jack/Donna fluff fic for me for sponsoring her on Red Nose Day! <3

I've prodded neifile7 onto twitter. Because I am a bad influence. (No, but really, this is a nice thing!)

ETA: Speaking of twitter,used_songs  has launched a Torchwood "Twibe". Join,Y/Y?

Quit being so *%$#@ entertaining. I have work to do.  I'll be eating cold beans out of a can if you don't stop distracting me with your awesome.

Geez.

Yesterday I took hungover neighbors to breakfast and then the beach at 7am, twittered, finished my first Doctor Who fic (it's more than a little cracky because: bodyswap!) read great recced fic, watched Dollhouse and scoffed a few drinks. My husband slept ALL DAY for no real reason. (Well, he did party with the neighbors the night before.) He returned to consciousness to have dinner and watch 30 minutes of Blazing Saddles. So I'm sure he's going to be a quotaholic all day on Sunday because 30 minutes of ammo is all he needs.

BIG yays to catvampcrazines and her most cool idea: the Sisterhood of the Traveling David Tennant Calendar. The calendar will be traveling from fan to fan over towards England/Australia/New Zealand/Belgium/US/Canada first and over to the US in the latter half of the year. She's even done a video sendoff.

oneloveonelight has a seriously cracked Jack/Ianto mpreg ficlet

Unrelated to anything, I read an old X-Files fic from back in the day and was reminded of the once popular fic term "FBI aardvarking"

And sheesh... the ontd Yo Dawg Xzibit meme insanity was... insane. But this one wins it for me:
