I wrote Jack/Ianto fic! Yaays!

Several false starts and putting it in the wrong pov and forgetting to Show all used up a bit of time so I didn't get it all finished on New Year's Day, which I was trying to for the good omen of it, but it is finished now.

Actually if it is finished it isn't the fic I thought I sat down to write. I have this grand plan for something kinky with chains and a fountain pen. In my head it is very hot.

But what do I get when I sit down to write?

Angsty snuggling.

See this is why writers believe in muses - we're so not the ones in charge here.



So, anyway, beta reader?
I'm thinking it's so short I could live without, but then I'm thinking about the line I typed without making sure my fingers were on the right keys and, well, maybe it needs another pair of eyes just in case...

watch ITV1 now for at least 5 minutes

I put 'Queen of the Damned' on the TV because I happen to be awake at 0120 and it's on.
And it's LOLs already, because vampre rising from an empty depressed grave to become a rock god is most excellent parody even if I'm not sure it knows it.

... Paul McGann???
... sorry, teh credits just started. Huh. Suddenly the Vampire Lestat is meeting the 8th Doctor in my head...

ANYway, why this one is extra lols is there's this old guy in the corner doing teh sign language translation. He's in glasses and a pink shirt and he's dancing the song parts and being Lestat's voice when he's doing the voiceovers and he's just so the anti-vampire it's *hilarious*.
I mean I know that getting a goth sign language interpreter would be kind of extra effort, but this guy is the anti-goth.

See this is why I want to focus on disability in cultural studies - the layers of meaning added by subtitles and sign language are almost always not thought of / designed by the producers of the original content. Except for Night Watch, which is one of the reasons it's such an awesome film, they really *worked* the possibilities of subtitles.

This? This is the opposite of that, in what it does to the tone.

I kind of love it.


PS: To be clear, I'm not knocking his work, I'm sure he's doing is job and all. It's just... it's like someone published vampire fic written on pink paper or something.

PPS Paul McGann pretty

Dreams: still wierd

Today's dreams involved Ianto, the Doctor, and, er, High School Crush Guy.
... my subconscious would be much less embarrassing if I could just stop dreaming about that guy.

The first bit of dream had Ianto being my assistant. ( Read more... )

You know, I really should write my damn essay, cause it's harshing my Torchwood squee. I mean, it seems like hardly any time until Torchwood, yet my essay has to be in more than a week earlier.

... now if I could manage staying awake and getting my brain to work and maybe reading some of the books I optimistically brought home for xmas...
*headdesk*

Stress less, work more. I can do this. And if I can't do this I can ask for an extension.
