Um. Hi? Is anybody still out there?

[sumbitch]

How does this work, again? My fingers do the bangy thing on the keyboard and make words and then I hit "post" and suddenly it's thirteen years later and I'm gay and have a baby the magic happens?

Hallo everyone! I hope you are all very well, and happily romping through whatever fandom pastures you've scattered to now (perhaps a few of you are still

so, does that make you Dr. and Mrs. Queer?

[sumbitch]

Yep! Though I don't know that anyone's called her Dr. Queer since the hooding ceremony, where they do it just to watch the newly-minted PhDs shiver in delight.

[traveller]

:D

you (both) have been missed.

[sumbitch]

<3

do people still do that? i know that "grate" and "rite" are over, but i have no idea what emotificatory slang the kids are using nowadays.

[sumbitch]

hihihi I've thought of you often, because I picked up a lot of parenting wisdom from you long before I was a parent. Also, your "even my problems are privileges" is a regular part of my mental phrasebook.

Congrats on the newbie!

Hi over here! It is good to see you 'round these parts again. There is still a LOTR fandom but I only see pieces of it. I mostly read American Idol slash these days, having come there by way of Bandom fandom. I haven't read much
Torchwood fanfic, but I did read one gen one where a miniscule town made Ianto their god or something. It was fun, but I've no idea where it lives now.

So. That was unhelpful. Sorry!

[sumbitch]

hihi! AI, huh? It's fun to see where the Lotrips diaspora ended up... I'll keep an eye out for that fic, thanks.

[angstslashhope]

Welcome back! BABY OMG! <3

and Torchwood, WHEE. I just got out of a long love affair with that fandom (where, hyeah, this happened). All my faves (most Jack/Ianto) can be found on my delicious, and, for a bit of self-promotion, all of my Torchwood fics (also mostly Jack/Ianto) are here.

:D

torchwood_house is also an excellent recs community.

Whee!

[sumbitch]

Reasons your replying to my post = PAY DIRT:

1) You bring a bumpercrop of reliable recs;
2) You linked to your stuff on archiveofourown, which does beautifully convenient ebook downloads;
3) You linked to your stuff, which is always fabulous and frequently filthy;
4) Your pic tag: "Jack gasped at Ianto's administrations." HAHAHAHA. That boy knows how to pull a file, o yes he does.

if you are ever in 'merica again you should come and play with our awesome baybee. <3 <3

[angstslashhope]

3) Oh god, if my prior stuff was considered filthy, then I'm not sure just how the Torchwood porn can be defined...!

2) And ebooks, INORITE, yay! *iz typing this on iPad*

4) tis my LJ title, and a quote from an actual (glorious train wreck of a) fic, am yet to find anything better to replace it :D

I shall be in America again! Idk when yet, but it will happen. I hope to see you about on lj more again :)

[sumbitch]

3) it's true. Jack is a very dirty boy, and clearly Ianto's no better than he ought to be.

let us know when you'll be in town! and by "town" i mean "continent".

Hiya - good to see you back! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the parenting experience (and agree that the actual birth is sucky).

Are you still in Baltimore? And congratulations to the new doctor in the house!

I'm aware of Torchwood but never got around to watching any of it.

[sumbitch]

Yes, parenting has its dark moments, sure, but I'm truly surprised at how entertaining it is. S is just a funny, funny little dude. I laugh out loud at him every single day.

We are indeed still in B'more; E is post-doc'ing at the same lab, we're in the same house, pretty much all how you left us. Except for the small child.

Are you pro-new-Doctor-Who? If so, Torchwood is definitely worth a watch. The plots (like Doctor Who's) are frequently hole-ful, but it's very watchable anyway, mainly because of the ensemble of appealing actors.

[lathany]

Are you pro-new-Doctor-Who?

That's a cautious "yes". I watched the first three seasons, but not afterwards. I missed the start of season four, then never tried to catch up (I like seeing things in order). I thought both CE and DT were good, although very different. I also liked Captain Jack (who I know is the Torchwood lead). I've not seen the newest doctor though.

[sumbitch]

I loved CE so much that it took me quite a while to warm up to DT, but did eventually.

I thought season 4 was better than season 3, mainly because I wasn't a Martha fan but love Donna.

I haven't seen season 5 yet, because it's not on Netflix yet. I'm encouraged by the fact that Matt Smith is the favorite doctor of both spillingvelvet and dracunculus.
