xkcd is love. Also: truth, beauty and probably freedom as well. You should all check it out. If only because
this particular strip inspired the site
wetriffs.com Nuff said.

Looking for a cure for Myfanwy's illness Jack finds himself in part of the Cardiff Central Library he's never seen before.

Summary: Angel as written by The Doctor. Absolutely hilarious and so true. Ten is such a Spike/Angel shipper.
Blame the Kap for this one. He's like a big kitty in the mornings, only he leaves me crackfic rather than dead birds on the doorstep.

Do I Dare Disturb the UniverseAuthor:
doyle_sb4Rating: G
Notes: For the romanathon: request was for a conversation between Romana and Mickey and an outside agency like Torchwood observing Romana. This assumes Romana never returned from E-Space and ignores books and audio canon. Pre-Doomsday and some fanwank ahoy.
Summary: “Mickey, you can’t go inviting aliens to tea at your nan’s because you think they look a bit lonely. God help us if the invasion fleet lands when we haven’t got the milk in.”
Speaking of the Kap, this one's for him - big ole Romana fanboy that he is. He's allowed to be seein' as i'm a big ole Mickey/Jake fangirl.

Word Count: 10, 500
Summary: Hold the phone: are you suggesting that if I sleep with him, that I won't have to deal with problems like this? Because I'm seriously considering taking that hit. I mean, honestly, what is he like in post-game? Is there spooning? Because I don't spoon, I'm not a spooner.

My favourite line has to be “Do you want me to call you a girl’s name so you don’t miss him so much?” Elliot said.

Summary: She couldn't even say 'one thing led to another' because she's still not quite sure how she ended up with her panties around her ankles, having a spectacularly loud orgasm in the middle of Lab 4.

From Neil Gaiman's blog
The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising ("but of course that's why he was doing that, and that means that...") and it's magic and wonderful and strange.
You don't live there always when you write. Mostly it's a long hard walk.Sometimes it's a trudge through fog and you're scared you've lost your way and can't remember why you set out in the first place.
But sometimes you fly, and that pays for everything.
