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 :)

This is possibly true... ;)

1. He was a POW briefly, towards the end of the war. He doesn't talk about it. Ever.
2. Before Jack, he followed Jock Goody everywhere - although he can lead, he's happier in a '2nd in command' role.
3. He and Marion would have liked more children, but it wasn't to be. The energy they would have poured into their family, they put into Jack (as well as Hywel, of course!)

Hope that's enough. Okay, so it's not enough, but it's all you're getting tonight ;)

So what are you saying? :D

NOT HELPING with the Hugh-love. *cuddles Hugh*

Oi, hands off. He's a)mine, b)married and c)dead. ;)

He's probably the character I'm most proud of - he doesn't say much, doesn't actually do that much, if you add it all up in terms of words, but he's this quiet presence at the back of the all the stories. In my head, he's the one who taught Jack how to be human again.

Sorry, I'm not helping, am I?

So what's your point? ;) I don't want to snog him, I just want to cuddle him!

That's very nicely put. That's what I love about him. And although Hwyel and Jack have an awesome sort of dynamic, it's entirely different, and once Hugh is gone you can see that there's nobody who really fills that role for Jack, and you can see him getting more and more distant from everyone.

*happy sigh*

You know, I love it when someone's really *got* what I'm trying to say. I'm starting to get hope that I may actually manage to write The Watching Years after all...

Don't make me come over there!
