LOL! I can only imagine all the "i's" to be dotted and "t's' to be
crossed that have piled up in Jack's absence.

You've got to give Jack points for trying, but something tells me he's going to be buried under a mountain of paperwork for awhile. :-p

Welcome to the comm--very nice first effort! :)

(Crap, I was playing with the idea of a "mountain of paperwork" on Jack' desk too, but this is much better than what I had. Back to the drawing board!)

[captain91]

Thank you!
And sorry for stealing your idea. I'm sure you can spin it into something new and still use it though

[tardisjournal]

I think it was more a case of "great minds think alike" than stealing. ;) And this was so perfect it's better that you got to it first. No worries!

Ha yes. jack the work has to be done, but I don't think distracting Jack like that will lead to things getting done. Nice first drabble.

[captain91]

Thank you

I have a feeling that paperwork will be on the floor shortly with two naked boys spread across the desk instead!

[iantojjackh]

Hmm now there is a nice image to get me through the day;)

Welcome to the tw100 party :-)
Great first drabble.
Nicely done!

[captain91]

Thank you very much

Lol! Poor Jack, buried under a mountain of paperwork! I think Ianto may still be a little cross with him. Great drabble!

Congratulations on your first tw100 drabble - I posted my first just 3 weeks ago. It's fun, isn't it?

[captain91]

Thank you, yes Ianto is still rather mad and hurt, but I also think all those nice neat stacks of paperwork will be on the floor soon with a naked Jack pinned to the table! maybe next week's prompt will work for that!

And yes, I enjoy doing drabbles. I was recently in a thing to do 100 drabbles in 100 days, I never expected to get them all done, but I failed miserably because of several weeks of bad health. I suddenly found myself rather lost though once the challenge time had ended and I had no more drabbles to do so I came in search of drabble comms!
I'm really enjoying reading other people's work too, most of the people on my f list have stopped writing torchwood :(

Oh, and hi *looks up* I can sometimes ramble a bit!

[badly_knitted]

Lol! You sound like me - I love a good ramble!

I'm a bit long-winded in my writing, I never use one word where five will do, so drabbles are a challenge. Wasn't sure if I could write anything that made sense in just 100 words, but I've managed 4 in 3 weeks, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

An awful lot of people have stopped writing Torchwood - some have moved on to other fandoms and others seem to have vanished completely - but there are a lot of new writers too, which gives me hope. New writers keep the fandom healthy and while there aren't as many as there were when I first discovered Torchwood fanfiction, they're very enthusiastic!

[captain91]

I've been working a lot lately on cutting down my word use, often it really does make it read better. but i still like a good long descriptive paragraph!

yeah, i was in hospital for 4 months a couple of years ago and when i came out 2 writers had vanished off the face of the earth, and others just seemed to leave their epic series drifting.

are a lot of the new writers more into miracle day or traditional torchwood? i like to hug my first 2 seasons close to my chest!

Ianto is always so responsible, LOL.

[captain91]

lol, I have a feeling he may lose his temper with the paper blocking his way to his captain before long though

thank you for commenting :)
