writing chat round-up
One day, before I die, I will be in the same room as krabapple, writing a story, and I will shout, "krabapple, come quick! My story's amazing!"
It will be the greatest moment ever. It will outweigh future weddings and child births and that time in the past I high-fived Felicia Day.

OKAY. SO. Last night was writing chat! I think it went well! I hope everyone had a good time. I know I did.
Before I get to my stuff, I'm going to encourage you guys to go read through everything that was written. There's some West Wing fic, Bones, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures, Marvel Comics, a couple fandoms I wasn't familiar with, and a ton of great original pieces.
inocciduous wrote something lovely about Donna (Moss), second_batgirl wrote a Marvel/Pokemon crossover of hilarity, queenriley wrote heart-breaking Luke and Clyde conversation, bookblather wrote a hilarious bit of Sarah Jane and Luke, and solsticezero wrote a post-Journey's End Jack/Ianto that pushed all my buttons.
ruffwriter wrote some hilarious original detective banter, ruecian wrote an achey, relateable relationship piece, and we all need to peer-pressure quatredeathlady into telling us what's going on here.
And that is just a teeny, tiny sampling of what's over there!
This is what I wrote:
[nick of time] Torchwood - Gwen, Ianto (Jack) - in which there are four minutes until shenanigans ensue.
[who do you choose?] - original - Tristan (Deirdre, Alan, Danny) - In which I am a crappy writer who can't finish a ficlet in fifteen minutes and also Stephanie Sloane asks Tristan out on a date.
[good news] Gwen Has a Bad Day - Torchwood - Gwen, Mickey, Jack (Ianto, Martha) - In which Gwen has a Bad Hair Day to end all Bad Hair Days and will probably be setting something on fire soon enough.
[feeling sick] Flu Shot - Original - Alan/Danny - In which, once again, I fail to believably write my own characters and cannot manage to write an actual ending. Also, Danny has the flu, but it doesn't effect his ability to make crappy innuendo.
[useless, but beautiful] Torchwood - Ianto, Gwen, Jack - In which something good comes out of a long, hard day.
[a fragile connection] Words - The West Wing - Sam/Will (Iowa) - In which Will despairs and Sam keeps quiet. (This is set during Sam's first week in Iowa, bee tee dubs)
The next one will be on a weekend, I promise, and everyone is invited, as usual :) I'll post details in a few days/next week/when I remember.
