Tiny Torchwood post
No, I have not seen Miracle Day. I may not even see Miracle Day. (It is my choice whether I do, and honestly? I can not predict my triggers all the time, I might be able to listen to what people who have watched Miracle Day and guess whether it will or not, but I won't actually know until I watch it myself. So, that's a choice I'll make in ten weeks, with as much foresight as possible.) *This isn't me getting at anyone, it's basically my 'public service announcement, covering why I won't be joining any commentary on MD.
I have however listened to all three radio plays. The first two are ok, the last one? OMG.
Tissue warning people. I cried so hard (this is why I am still awake at almost 2am). But? You know what? I now feel so much better. It was exactly what I needed, and sets James Gross even further into my *is awesome* list.
It might have been fan service. It might have been designed to make some people give MD a chance. But I don't care, it doesn't change that for me (see above reasons), it has made me feel better.
The Torchwood fics I couldn't manage to finish, including my oc_bigbang fic from last year which suffered due to this, and from just how depressed I was last year (tuesday will be fun *heh* hopefully I'll get though it ok), are going to get dragged back out.
I am going to finish that fic first, well a huge rewrite of it, because the last radio play dealt with one of the scenes towards the end that I was struggling with (breaking my OC basically *heh*), and a lot of the reasons why I couldn't get it written. I feel like I need to finish that fic, because it was the first thing that I had really wanted to write after COE, Torchwood wise, but I couldn't get there.
I still have a lot of other fics, mainly for Big Bangs, that need to get written for deadlines, but that fic is going to be worked on (and an AU fic, for Big Big Bang, involving that OC). I am happy though, because Torchwood was the first fandom where I had literally hit a wall. I can still write other fandoms, but Torchwood, I just couldn't, not seriously. It's nice to feel like I can again. Especially with all the WIPs sat around my harddrives.
Spoilers may appear in the comments, for the radio plays only please, so be warned.
