Christmas Comment!fics [2011]

[soera]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Last year, I offered comment!fic in a number of fandoms as a Christmas present to all you lovely folk out there. I got some wonderful prompts and really enjoyed myself writing ficlets for them, so I’ve decided to do the same this year. For those of you who don’t know how this works, let’s go over things:

Oh, this is excellent! : D Comment!fic is always fun. I can't wait to read it all!

As for a prompt...hmm. Okay, I know this has been done before, but I seriously *never* get tired of reading it, so would you please write something Steve/Danny that involves the repeal of DADT? Preferably they're not in a relationship yet and this is when they get together, but established relationship works too : D (And also I didn't like the whole Danny/Rachel thing at the end of S1 either, so you can just pretend that never happened ;D).

Thank you so much for doing this, it's awesome! Can't wait to read all the H50 and Torchwood comment!fics you write :)

(Though I am curious--you like Torchwood but not Doctor Who? Just wondering, as I adore them both. And agree with you in that S3 of Torchwood made me sad and I didn't finish S4 because of...well, lots of things. xD)

<3 Merry Christmas!

[I’ve watched a little Doctor Who, but it never grabbed me the same way Torchwood did. I liked some of the episodes, but I was mostly just ambivalent about it, so I didn’t make it past… mid-S2, I think? Which is funny, because I honestly think the acting’s better in Doctor Who than in Torchwood - I just liked the tone of TW better, that blend of darkness and cheesiness and humour. The change in how Torchwood was handled in S3 is the main reason why I went off that, too. =P]

inarticulateSteve’s been odd all day, and Danny’s not quite sure what to make of it. Nothing particularly earth-shattering had happened recently, and there weren’t any anniversaries he was aware of that might be affecting Steve’s mood. It could, of course, be something related to Steve’s time in service, but if that was the case, there was probably nothing Danny could do about it

[Ah, I see. I like Torchwood a lot, really I do, but Doctor Who...I just love it. ^^ I'm surprised S2 is where you dropped off, because I think it's probably my favorite season! But then I really was a fan of the banter between the 10th Doctor and Rose :) I can see how you might not like it as well, though, if the darkness is part of what drew you to Torchwood. There *is* darkness in Doctor Who but it's not really the same, because it's got to be kid-friendly, where as Torchwood obviously isn't! I actually think Doctor Who got significantly darker when the 11th Doctor took over; not that you could tell from his first few episodes, but as you go on, you can really see that darkness hiding inside him. Ahem. But yes, Torchwood, good stuff xD I was always a fan of Jack <3 I felt like S3 wasn't really *Torchwood* anymore, though, because Torchwood was always about them figuring things out and solving problems, and changing the format to one-enemy-for-five-episodes gave them so much down time. Add in the political drama and...it
