Wow. That´s awesome. I couldn´t stop laughing because of Owen. I would like this to be continued as one-shots. Archie commenting on Gwen was hilarious.

I have to say, I may have filtered my own frustrations and displeasure through the character of Archie. I do like him...I'll definitely be using him again...

I haven't written Owen before, and I loved doing it. I especially loved doing the interaction between Owen and Ianto and Tosh, perhaps more than I enjoy the interaction between Jack and Ianto. Friendships are so interesting and fun to write.

Thank you!

I love this! You should make it a series. Pleeez!! Pretty Pleez!

Between Myfanwy being alive (and I love the Nessie line), and Archie's very astute take on Mommy Gwen (with the baby strapped on her chest no doubt) and Captain Clueless going off to America with Gwen (oh and that line about saving us from politicians rather than aliens is epic) I'm hooked.

Have I told you I love this fic, LOL!!!

I'll probably make it a one-shot series, chronicling the rebuilding and then odd adventures I come up with.

It felt so good, like I was actually writing for real Torchwood. Archie just felt right, and so Torchwood (and you know that he'd have been looking after Myfanwy along with Nessie XP).

Thank you! I'm glad reading it brought as much pleasure as I writing it (it was very cathartic)

Thank you. I was very frustrated, and writing was very cathartic *grins*.

1. Exactly, I addressed this here: http://mercury-pheonix.livejournal.com/32175.html

2. I know, all the mothers I know tell me its ludicrous that shes still an active figure in the show with a child (as being part of Torchwood puts her child in danger, thereby suggesting she puts what she wants over her child's wellbeing).

3. I have NO idea. Speaking as someone currently in Wales, and going to Cardiff Uni in September...I don't see the attraction of LA over Cardiff.

4. Hehe, couldn't let that not-so-subtle reference go by without a dig. *looks ashamed*

Thank you!!

I flipping LOVE this!

It makes up for the fubar of the Starz bastardization of Torchwood, and I love you for it.
If I ever win the lottery I'm buying you an enormous prezzie! :D

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to make something good out of something not-so-good...and YAY PRESENTS!! I'm sure, if one of us won the lottery, we could actually fund this show and actually make it.

I absolutely love this and hope to see more in this 'verse. After, of course, more Served Cold. And Kryptonite. You didn't actually want to go to university, did you? Just keep writing more fic, please? ;-)

mercury_pheonix August 25 2010, 21:39:47 UTC

Thank you! No, I wasn't planning on working at Uni, just writing lots of fanfiction XP.
