You know the trouble with the long gap between Torchwood seasons is that's just longer for people to decide things aren't really spoilers.

I want to see it like it's new to me once. Just that once. No retcon required.

The middle of the season made me actually hunt spoilers, cause I wouldn't have watched Countrycide if I'd known what it was about, and I really hate the ending to 1-07.
But now I'm back to trying not to find out in advance.



I'm getting Doctor Who spoilers at college. College! I go to class expecting all is safe and then someone starts talking about That Character Who It Probably Is But We Don't Know Yet and I, er, stuck my hands over my ears and went "spoilers! spoilers!" and... was probably not amusing.



I have decided that, whenever someone asks me what I want to do after university, I shall tell them I'm going to write for Doctor Who.

History suggests this is likely a long term career option. So why not?

You know, just because only a tiny handful of people get to, and I have only managed 1/3 of this year's deadlines, and I've never written a script, and my knowledge of DW canon is only serious-fangirl and not encyclopaedic-fanboy yet, doesn't mean it couldn't be me.

*nods*

I ramble and eventually tell you all my plot bunnies

Achievments of the day:
woke up feeling stabby
did not stab anyone

okay, small achievement, but I'm counting it.

New food will be here sometime before 10pm. Yesterday I was awake at that time quite comfortably. Today I wish to be asleep. This is unhelpful.

Tomorrow is early class again - last one this year, although I'm going in next week too for hand in and stuff. After that I fully intend to not choose any classes that happen before 1000 ever again.
You know, if that's remotely possible.

It's the traffic. The hour could be wrong no matter when on the clock it is, but trying to go places at places going time is just massively unworky. Blah.


After next week there will be no college for many months.
I intend to write fic.


My Ripper: Fools Journey series is calling again.
Trouble is the particular one that is calling is the one with the character I haven't reintroduced yet. But the story is shiny and in my head has not-technically-Duncan-MacLeod in drag. The pretty actually trying sort, not the comedy sort.
... okay, so it's possible that's only a plus for a very limited audience.

It's Temperance, and I've only written up to High Priestess.
Meh.

I could make little summaries of all the plot bunnies and then bounce around the series at random.
I suspect though that would work about as well as me writing out of order ever does - by the time I get there, there has to be somewhere else.

Also unhelpful is I've just thought of a way to rewrite Magician so it has a whole extra set of characters and some parallels to play with yet retains the claustrophobic feeling I wanted. But rewriting old fic is not in fact a useful thing to do.

Next fic in the series is Andrew, Giles, and Ethan investigating a haunting house. I ran it as an RPG once, which leads to the funny teaser with the builders. Most of the rest of the RPG I shall have to file as what not to do. People sort of gave up. Oops.
But I have an ending now, and it is shiny.
Card is 'Empress', fic is 'House and Home'.

After that is ( Read more... )

I can still write out the complete season's plot bunnies from memory.
I think this is still stories that want told.

And the fun thing about the RFJ stories is the first season is just the setup for a much cooler season where Ethan gets to be as powerful as he wants. Sort of. And there's more characters, some of them girls, at least some of the time. It's very cool in my head.
And I know what the Emperor card is about with quite a lot of details.

... if I wrote down as much as I thought up I'd be the most prolific author in LJ.
*sigh*
