Bored bored bored bored (repeat to fade)

[jadesfire]

When I'm working, it's about this point of the evening that I really start climbing the walls. I've read my f-list several times, and have to stop myself from pressing 'refresh' every two minutes as I try to remember that other people, you know, have lives and things. I still refresh my email every two minutes on the basis that you never know.

I've shelved every book that was out, I've checked and rechecked the renewals email account (nada) and I'm just starting to contemplate the various ficlets I want to write. The Watching Years is completely and utterly stalled, but I've got a few other thoughts to play with. But the boredom overtakes even that.

I've decided that the discussion group should have its own comm, so as not to interfere with the smooth running of the library - I'm going for "tw_fic_club" unless anyone has any more inspired ideas. Will create tomorrow, ready for chatting next week some time. I could do coursework, but the notes are at home. *sigh*

I am therefore forced to fall back on memage:
[gakked from pretty much everyone]

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

Fictional or original characters (all the minor characters in The Waiting/Wandering Years have full back-stories. yes, really, all of them), or pick someone random from my interests list.

If you get no reply, I've actually died of boredom. Or gone home.

EDIT: The latter is now true! Thanks guys, you're lifesavers :)

Well, that makes two of us. Except with the amount of coffee I've had today, I'm wired and bored simultaneously. I feel like a ferret on speed at the moment.

Tell me something about Jack, who I have come to love through your stories.

There's an image to conjure with ;)

Jack? Gosh, where do I begin? Um...

1. He used to have a scar in the middle of his back where his sister bit him during a 'play fight'. It healed the first time he was brought back to life.
2. He always wanted to be a pilot, ever since he was a little boy. Wherever possible, when he pulls a con, he tries to be a pilot of some kind. It's as natural to him as breathing.
3. He loves everyone he sleeps with, in some way. He's not the 'embittered, can't fall in love' type. He's the type to give something of himself, no matter what. At first, at least. Lately, he avoids intimacy of any kind, to avoid that kind of connection.

I could go on, but I've already got 85,000 words and don't want to subject you to another

He loves everyone he sleeps with, in some way.

Ah, that is a strangely lovely quality. I'd sort of picked up a hint of that from the most recent things I'd read.

*nods* lots of people have him as the 'doesn't ever fall in love' kind of character, but I just can't see it. It's as much the performance as anything - the line between Jack Harkness and John Barrowman is pretty blurred - and Jack just *feels* like a generous man. He can't hold back - everything's done to 100%.

You see, this is how I ended up with a novel-length story that's only 2/3 done...
