Yay!!! You are writing Jack/Ianto again! I'm sooooo happy, you just don't know! Please excuse the abuse of exclamation points.

I don't remember if I told you this or not, but your story, Attrition, was my first Torchwood story. I read it four months ago at Thanksgiving.

At the time, I didn't know anything about Torchwood or Dr. Who and didn't particularly want to know. I was all about Spike/Xander. So one day, because there's not a lot of really good S/X being written lately, I decided to once again reread one of yours. After getting to your website, the J/I category caught my eye. Desperate for new fiction, I decided to read Attrition, even without knowing anything about TW, just because you wrote it and I knew it would be good.

Well, I was hooked. I may not have known the background for Jack and Ianto's relationship, but I fell in love with them all the same. That just lit the spark to my TW love. I rented the series and devoured it, then watched every season of DW, too. Loved it, of course, though TW is my OTS (one true show. ;)).

Since then, I've been absolutely wallowing in TW fic. Thankfully, there is tons of it, with more being written every day, and much of it fantastic. I'm kinda of sad to say I've not read any S/X in a long time. I never thought I'd get to that point with as much as I love Spike and Xander, but the Jack/Ianto love is so deep! I cannot get enough of them.

So, to wrap up, I'm thrilled to pieces that you are writing another J/I story. The only downside is that I'm in this at the beginning of the story, instead of at the end when I could read it all at once and not have to wait on updates. Oh, I'll survive, I guess. ;D

Thanks for a terrific start to this story. My heart breaks for the team and especially the insane?depressed?damaged? Jack that is here. I'm so looking forward to the updates. Thank you so much!! /ends gushing

Wow, it's huge relief that you actually liked Torchwood after being lured in like that :o)

I'm very touched that you trusted me enough as a writer to read what was essentially original fiction for you at that time, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it so much.

The only downside is that I'm in this at the beginning of the story, instead of at the end...

In that case, I forbid you to read any more of this new thing until it's finished. Oh, yes. That's absolutely going to work, I can feel it in my bones! lol.

I've been looking at all my notes for potential S/X stories and may drift back in that direction after I've finished editing Hourglass to death, so if I go I'm dragging you with me, be warned!

Thank you for getting in touch.

*hugs*

Oh, Lord, I truly must be a fangirl, because your response to my comment just thrilled me to bits! You've always been like this high priestess of wonderful fanfic to me.

Of course I will obey your orders not to read anymore of "Hourglass" before it is complete. ::runs off to ready the next chapter:: :D

Thanks again for replying. I hope to talk to you again soon.
