Things for today
Oct. 1st, 2008 10:46 am#1. Heard on the Today programme this morning:
"I think when they said 'brand new spanking programme' they meant 'brand spanking new programme'. The other probably wouldn't work on the radio."
#2. Torchwood fic. In which I admit beta-bias, but rec anyway:
Forgotten by
fajrdrako
Summary: Adam meets Jack.
Oh, that doesn't even begin to do it justice. Psychopathy, sympathy, love and bitterness all wrapped up together so you can't see where one begins and the other ends. A sideways look at "Adam" that hits all the right notes.

Summary: Ianto loved his job, he really did. However, working for Torchwood still managed to surprise him once in a while.
As most of you know, I'm not really a shipper, and can get quite tired of Jack/Ianto stories. But Dune always makes me look at them int a new way, and she does her usual great job of the guest-starring alien. Atmospheric and tender without tripping into angst.
#3. SGA fic by me! For
sgahcchallenges:
In Memoriam
for
leesa_perrie. Spoilers for 'Broken Ties'.
Summary: Now he has new pain to pile on the old, a layer of scars so thick that he finds it hard to remember what lies beneath them.
I'm not 100% sure I caught Ronon properly, but it was good to stretch some new muscles and have a go. Rodney was a joy as ever.
#4. I'm missing my flist and my chats on Yahoo :( How is everybody? See/do anything fun/interesting/worth reporting lately? I promise a proper report from here once I can get three minutes together without being interrupted. Trust me, at the moment, that's not easy...

Date: 2008-10-01 10:16 am (UTC)I'm working on big fic and miss posting - want to prompt me for a litte one? Might make life more interesting for both of us, and maybe cheer you up :) TW only (but I'm happy to throw in DW and SJA into the mix)
My life is too weird for feedback (like I flopped the interview - am still temping in the job - and now my working relationship with the same Doctor is better than ever) but hubby got confirmation on his full time job last night - one piece of good news
