Lol! Poor Jack, buried under a mountain of paperwork! I think Ianto may still be a little cross with him. Great drabble!

Congratulations on your first tw100 drabble - I posted my first just 3 weeks ago. It's fun, isn't it?

Thank you, yes Ianto is still rather mad and hurt, but I also think all those nice neat stacks of paperwork will be on the floor soon with a naked Jack pinned to the table! maybe next week's prompt will work for that!

And yes, I enjoy doing drabbles. I was recently in a thing to do 100 drabbles in 100 days, I never expected to get them all done, but I failed miserably because of several weeks of bad health. I suddenly found myself rather lost though once the challenge time had ended and I had no more drabbles to do so I came in search of drabble comms!
I'm really enjoying reading other people's work too, most of the people on my f list have stopped writing torchwood :(

Oh, and hi *looks up* I can sometimes ramble a bit!

Lol! You sound like me - I love a good ramble!

I'm a bit long-winded in my writing, I never use one word where five will do, so drabbles are a challenge. Wasn't sure if I could write anything that made sense in just 100 words, but I've managed 4 in 3 weeks, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

An awful lot of people have stopped writing Torchwood - some have moved on to other fandoms and others seem to have vanished completely - but there are a lot of new writers too, which gives me hope. New writers keep the fandom healthy and while there aren't as many as there were when I first discovered Torchwood fanfiction, they're very enthusiastic!

I've been working a lot lately on cutting down my word use, often it really does make it read better. but i still like a good long descriptive paragraph!

yeah, i was in hospital for 4 months a couple of years ago and when i came out 2 writers had vanished off the face of the earth, and others just seemed to leave their epic series drifting.

are a lot of the new writers more into miracle day or traditional torchwood? i like to hug my first 2 seasons close to my chest!

The majority seem to concentrate more on the first two seasons, with some CoE fixits and a few CoE compliant fics. I've not seen much Miracle Day related stuff on LJ - there's a bit on ff.net, but I avoid anyway, I didn't watch Miracle Day as to me it wasn't Torchwood. If you haven't been reading much Torchwood lately, check out some of the newer authors - I'd particularly recommend lawford , she's not writing at the moment but there's a lot on her journal, some happy, some sad, but all excellent and she'll be back to writing when time allows. Also, black_k_kat has an amazing imagination and milady_dragon 's Dragon-Verse is not to be missed if you like dragons and are not a huge fan of Gwen. You might also like to chexk out the community tw_classic where nothing is allowed if it isn't season 1 or 2, or pre-season. CoE and MD are not mentioned there. There are lots of fic recs there and I'm running a Fic of the Week thing on my journal where I pick one or two short, complete series a week to read. Most of them are older ones that I just haven't got around to reading yet, but ( ... )

Mwah, i love you! it would take me hours to compile a list like that.

Unfortunately my health is pretty much degenerative, i've been under the weather most of this year, so people pushing good writing my way to pass the time is always very welcome :)

hmm, not a fan of gwen + dragons = i think i know what i'm doing instead of making graphs for my mother this afternoon!

I have my own health problems, been going on for many years, which is why I spend most of my time at my computer - my link to the outside world since I don't get out much. I make a lot of lists - think that comes from being an ex-librarian, lol! I also have some Torchwood rec lists if you're interested, fics I've enjoyed, mainly one-shots, mostly the older ones. I also read A LOT, but I have a lot of catching up to do, there are hundreds of fics I haven't read yet. Fanfic is the perfect escape from the not-so-good parts of life.

The Dragon-Verse is so brilliant, I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. It's just reached the episode 'Sleeper', but the whole 'verse starts pre-season one. It's one of my favourite things, and there's a lot of it - should keep you busy for a bit!

D'you mind if I friend you?

It sounds like we're in similar predicaments, I'm bedbound and need a lot of care to do pretty much anything. The internet is the only chance i get to meet people other than doctors who want to stick needles in me!

And you and you rec lists are most welcome to friend me :)
I have spurts of activity on my journal then spells of nothing though i will warn you, and my fandoms are dquite varied. it just depends on what i am watching at the time, and good fan fic tends to influence me too

I'm sorry things are so bad for you. I'm a lot better off - I can get out on good days, though there aren't an awful lot of those between a whole slew of health problems, but at least I have a certain amount of freedom, which I'm grateful for. There have been times I've been completely housebound, but not at the moment ( ... )

hey another English person *grabs i tight hug* I thought We were extinct on here!

Bad health sucks, I hope yours stays so you can get out an about.

My email address is spinning-top@hotmail.co.uk you'll find I tend to be near it most of the day and night! and i totally get what you mean about the lj posting, I know a reasonable amount of html, but it's still pretty hellish. I've been putting off updating my materlist because every time i do the coding all goes to pot and scatters it everywhere!

At the moment I'm into grimm, i've signed up recently for a christmas fic exchange, that should be fun, my first one. they have a good back up writers list, so if i get ill i should be able to drop out and not leave someone with coal in their stocking!

But i like the american shows too, the longer seasons and generally much bigger budgets suit me. i've seen trailers for one called beauty and the beast, it's a modern day take, looks like it could be good, now we just have to get it over here!

I haven't seen Grimm - not on terrestrial TV unfortunately - but I'm hoping I'll be able to get it on DVD. I read a short story on ff.net not long ago where Ianto was a Grimm and vanquished Gwen, who turned out to be... I don't remember offhand, but something not so good anyway. It was pretty good! Anyway, I really like the idea of the show so hopefully I'll get to watch it at some point ( ... )
