Title: Personal Days (Four Times Ianto Jones Took a Day Off, and One Time He Didn't)
Rating: Standard
Characters/Pairing: Ianto-centric, Jack/Ianto on the side
Notes: For writerinadrawer's round two, week eleven challenge, to write a 'five things' fic. I notoriously hate this as a format, and probably with good reason - this was the story that inevitably ( Read more... )

Title: We'll Always Have Paris
Rating: Standard
Pairings: None
Notes: For writerinadrawer's round two, tenth week, Como Say What? with the added element of five words in another language. I wrote this back several months ago and never got around to posting it here, so I figured I should add it for the sake of completion.

( Gerald Carter detests the continent. )

So, writerinadrawer this week, and I was voted out. I still haven't received my feedback, so I'm not really sure what the thoughts were on my piece. Apparently everyone got both some positive and negative feedback, so I guess not everyone hated it. Technically speaking, I came in fifth place in the entire challenge. Considering we had 50 writers and 2 spares ( Read more... )

Title: Kiss the Boys Goodbye
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Implied Jack/Ianto, blink and you'll miss it reference to Owen/Diane.
Notes: For writerinadrawer's 'Role Reversal' challenge, to put a character in someone else's shoes. I chose to take episode 1.12, 'Captain Jack Harkness,' and send Ianto back in time with Tosh instead of Jack. These are the consequences ( Read more... )

Title: Wires Crossed
Rating: PG-13, because I'm too naughty to be PG.
Notes: For writerinadrawer's 2.08 challenge, 'Being Innovative,' where a character uses something for a purpose other than it was intended. Added element, hand gesture. Takes place in early series two, pre-'Reset.'

( This reminds me of the time I ... is the first thing Ianto hears when he wakes up. )

Title: Mental Health Day
Rating: PG
Notes: Fluffy fluffy Jack/Ianto fluff, for writerinadrawer's 2.99 bonus round, where someone gets an unexpected day off, with the added element of a hygiene product. I wrote this, literally, in half an hour on my lunch break an hour before it was due, so I wasn't expecting too much out of it, I just wanted to keep myself in ( Read more... )

Title: So as Not to be the Martyred Slaves of Time
Rating: PG-13
Notes: For writerinadrawer's 2.07 challenge, 'Wasted!' with the added element of an Olympic sport. This one was a big ol' disaster for me, with too few words making the point I was trying to get across too confusing. Just the same, I'm archiving it here for the sake of completion, with a few ( Read more... )

1:17 AM.

My story for writerinadrawer is due by tomorrow at 3 ... I have to leave for work in about six hours. No inspiration is forthcoming. I have one sentence written, and it's not a sentence I'd build a fic around ( Read more... )

So, hmm. Having gotten my writerinadrawer feedback this week, I realized a couple of things:

1. Winning a round can be a hindrance as much as a help ... I know that having immunity the first time I won left me lazy, but this time around I felt like I actually put a lot of effort into what I wrote for the challenge ( Read more... )

For writerinadrawer's sixth week challenge, 'Busted!' To include the added element of an arts & crafts project. On an aside: I won this week! I'm actually pretty astounded. It was a close call, lots of people got positive feedback; in fact, the person I voted for to win was right behind me in the winnings, so that made me feel good, too. I was proud of this ( Read more... )
