So I woke up this morning after maybe 4.5 hours of sleep, couldn't fall back asleep, couldn't stop thinking about CoE, and then abruptly jumped out of bed and grabbed my notebook.
I already have a rough plot outline for the fix-it fic -- more importantly, I know what the fix is, and how it's going to play out. Not sure how long the fic will wind up being -- hopefully not BigBang length, but let's face it, canon has not left us an easy hole to dig our way out of, and I vastly prefer a tight, well-paced plot over a lot of handwaving and cheap resolution. I will drag a happy ending out of this, dammit, but I will bloody well earn it.
That makes me feel absurdly better. I'm definitely going to go ahead with the
Torchwood Eucatastrophe Project, though I won't get it officially up and running until after CoE has finished airing in the US/Canada at the end of this month. Probably the placeholder LJ comm will be created very soon, though. As of yesterday, I am officially unemployed, so god knows I've got the time for this right now.
Proactive fanworks for the win!
