nasty bunny
Feb. 14th, 2007 08:15 amHad a plot bunny
couple of problems
it would only really work if I could play with actual actors
and
it went rather dark in ways I do not wish to play with.
Body swap.
Tosh-Jack
Owen-Ianto
Tosh because imagine Jack's personality, body language, general style, but on tiny Toshiko body. She'd be swooshing around flirting in Jack fashion, using all those conversation power moves, and it would look totally different even if it was exactly the same.
And conversely Jack going all restrained and tentative and mostly sitting at the computer.
Though Tosh would totally play with his
wrist computer.
( Read more... )
Seeing the actors swap Jack and Tosh around I still think would be fun.
But all this other stuff I just thought of to go with that bunny can just go away. No fun at all.
Exploring the cyborg nature of Torchwood, the interdependence of humans and technology, how Jack and Tosh especially interact with tech and how Ianto might react to that, that's a much more interesting bunny.

Feb. 14th, 2007 11:45 amWhat do Buddhists say when they're having sex?
Cause, you know, "Oh God Oh God" isn't exactly the thing.

Feb. 14th, 2007 12:08 pmI'm reading a set of fanfic pet peeves, and they say:
Things our guys almost certainly do not do --
With few exceptions, they aren't pagan.
With no exceptions, they aren't media fans. (As Helen sez, they don't have time.)
There were a couple other things, including something about teddy bears, but those two were next to each other at the top of the list.
And the thing is, these strike me as fundamentally different things.
'Not pagan' is an equality issue. 'Not media fans' is probably a characterisation issue, though given the pervasive misrepresentation of media fen in the mainstream media I could make a case for it being a rights thing too.
( Read more... )
And right there we have a parallel - because it's a bit like slash, to my mind. There's not enough queer characters. So let's make a few.
Yeah, maybe it stretches them in new directions. But. Some mainstream media limitations? Need to be stretched.
... and sometimes the result is a clunky story, but that's craft, not the point of itself.
PS: reasons the Buffyverse rules: We have pagans (Tara, Ethan) *and* media fans (Gunn, Xander, Andrew, geek trio, just about everyone when the right pop culture reference would help).
... Torchwood clearly needs non-Christian geeks of it's own.
... Is Toshiko likely to be Christian? Cause she's likely got geek covered.
... Of course mostly they've got a whole atheist/humanist thing going on, but.

long sentences flowing across several verse lines require a great deal of breath, and breath control, having the effect of inflating the body (as for an opera-singer) and causing it to walk with a strutting movement
am having vague thoughts about techno-babble and anecdotes and suchlike
and therefore Jack
am then getting distracted by the concept 'breath control'

Feb. 14th, 2007 09:03 pmRules:
1.] grab the nearest book.
2.] open the book to page 23.
3.] find the fifth sentence.
4.] post the text of the next three sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5.] don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! i know you were thinking about it! just pick up whatever is closest.
For a while they both concentrated in silence, drawing off the blue-grey sickening waves and feeding them to whichever of the various sumps would accept them, drawing again, casting the venom, drawing - until no more would be accepted.
"It was a massive dose, whatever it was," Mark said, "And it's antipathetic to most of the usual sumps."
"They did their best," Gladys said defensively.

Feb. 14th, 2007 09:59 pmThings about Torchwood I have decided:
Jack does not come back because he missed Ianto.
Duty, people! The keyword is duty! Like 1-12; he has reasons.
... does no one else find that duty-desire tension/entwining to be sexy?
... because it might be for and about duty, but Ianto is a hell of a nice bonus, to share that duty with. Because he would totally get it.
