Torchwood Fic recs

Proper post to follow, but just a quick driveby...

Torchwood guys! If you haven't read out_there's stuff, go now! I love her style, which is character-focussed, bright, heartfelt and spot-on in terms of character.

Recovery is a heart-breaking coda to 'Exit Wounds', while The Day After, and The Day After That is a Fragments follow-up, which shows you so much about Ianto and Jack. And The Tastes of Aliens had me sniggering at my desk.

I'm having to ration myself to a)avoid spamming her, and b)get some work done. So. Go! Read! Spam her on my behalf :)

With thanks to in_the_bottle for the tip.

What a glorious feeling

I am currently working on taking full advantage of the free webspace the university gives me to create a website for my fanfic. Except the way you upload files has changed, and I'm now supposed to use a special SFTP and download a program onto my computer and learn how to use it and seriously, the instructions make it look like rocket science, even if it isn't. *sigh* I will do battle with it at some point, but that's going to have to wait until my brain feels like learning something new.

To help it along, I've signed up for gateverse_remix, and heartily encourage anyone else who's eligible to do so – you need to have written at least 5 Stargate universe stories of 1000 words or more. ( More ficly ramblings )

My posting has been a bit grumbly lately – lots of moaning and complaining and down-ness – and I've been terrible about commenting, which means I haven't been chatting to people like usual. I feel like I haven't spoken to some of you in months, although LJ has its own space/time continuum, so it was probably actually just a couple of days. Still. *waves to everyone* How you doing? I'm still pretty down most of the time, but I know why and am doing stuff about it. It doesn't solve the problem, not yet, but at least I don't feel like I'm taking it lying down.

Thanks for all the offers of fic last night! I have a list of about 12 stories now, that should keep me going for a while.

Also last night, I went to see "Singin' in the Rain". At the cinema! The Times are running a series of offers, where you can get 2 tickets for £5 to see a classic film. They recently published their list of 100 greatest movies, and have chosen about 10 that they consider to be landmarks in film-making. They show for one night only, and if last night is anything to go by, there are lots and lots of tickets available!

( Cut because I got SO carried away )

I now have the urge to replace ALL my icons with classic film ones. I shall probably resist.

Probably.

Blogging as I go: Eurovision

I'm killing myself laughing here, so thought I'd share.

the story so far (we came in late): ( Now cut for length and snarkiness )
