Same old same old

Meh! Gah! And other expressions of disgust...

I am boooooooooored out of my (fairly) tiny mind. The backlog of cataloguing just keeps getting longer, not shorter, which is just wrong as I'm actually doing work here. I'm just not getting any credit for it, which is wrong.

I'm bored enough to contemplate tunnelling my way out and I work on the 1st/2nd* *delete as appropriate for your side of the Atlantic floor.

I'm bored enough that I'm thinking about sorting my work email inbox, which has nearly 600 messages in and to which I have to periodically sacrifice small furry animals in order to keep it appeased.

I'm bored enough to start contemplating inventing new numbers beyond infinity ("smidge" is my favourite so far, which is however much you're thinking of, plus a little bit; or possibly "yelp" which is for the sound you make when you realise quite how high the number is). This is for the purposes of being able to say that, on a scale of 1 to 10 of being bored, I'm at about insert invented number here. Then I can watch people's faces when I say it and no longer be bored, for at least three seconds.

*sigh*

Normally at this point, I demand drabble prompts but I'm almost too bored for that...

Nah, I'm not ;) Prompt away! Or you can demand an extract from one of my works in progress (list under the cut). Demand something from one of my non-regular fandoms (list under other cut). Demand anything that might stop my brain from dribbling out of my ears before the end of the day!

It may take me a while to get through requests, as I am determined to demolish at least one pile of books by the end of the day. As said pile is three feet high, I may be here a while.

The end of "Playtime" (Housefic)

AU: Torchwood meets Sherlock Holmes

AU: Ten is forced to interfere during "Parting of the Ways" when he realises Jack living destroys the human race.

WWII Jack-fic set in Istanbul

Awakenings: Not so much 'five ways Jack died' as 'five ways Jack woke up', using the list from Utopia

Ellis Island fic (Jack)

Expansion of the drabble "Porthole" - Jack in prison

Something from the point of view of the Luggage. Previously demanded by Chrys and still in development hell...

Happy Jack, Rose and Nine story

Kyoto, 1336 Nine, Jack and Rose story (possibly the same as above)

I've written in House, Criminal Minds and Doctor Who/Torchwood. I could potentially write in:

Babylon 5

Robin of Sherwood (not the recent series. the weird one from the 80s)

Buffy (NOT Angel)

X-men

Discworld

Sapphire and Steel

Stargate SG1 (up to end of S6)

Man from UNCLE

Blakes 7 (not seen much, but could have a go)

Observant readers may also notice that I have recently mastered the 'list' coding and am taking the opportunity to use it as often as possible.

ETA: Article in newspaper saying that the interest rates on student loans are doubling. Yes, doubling. Seriously not good.

On the plus side, next week BBC7 are broadcasting the play "Only a matter of time", which I heard about 5 years ago and was just wondering about yesterday. It's one of the best pieces of radio comedy-drama I've ever heard and has stayed with me for all this time. Listen if you can!

Also, comment notifications? Not working *prods LJ* so further delays may occurr...

If you're that bored, here's a drabble prompt: Discworld, something with Casanunda. Possibly trying to charm Sacharissa?

Although I'd also love to see something from that Ellis Island fic...

XWA

Could you write something where Lu-Tze (the sweeper from Discworld) meets Ianto?

I had a random thought about Ianto being a bit like him yesterday... might just be me...

If you'd like to share a bit of the Jack in prison fic, that would be lovely.

I'd love to see a happy Jack, Ten and Martha story.

Or something about Jack in Victorian times - perhaps a crossover, or a meeting with a Victorian character.

It's just taken me about four days to log into my yahoo.com account, but my yahoo.co.uk is working fine. So maybe it's a problem with American based servers? *scratches head* *pokes LJ with stick*

Drabble - I'd like Ianto/OMC please. And yes, that is a slash there *evil grin* I don't know why, but I'm in a real Ianto-is-manwhore place at the moment. Which is making writing happy!Jack/Ianto incredibly difficult, cos Ianto keeps checking out other men/women while Jack sits there sulking and going 'but I'm pretty! Look at me!'

I've already got my two requests in, so I'll wait patiently on them!

Just put something up over on torchwood_meta, but I had great difficulties with it, so feel free to go over and tweak/add to/adjust it in any way. Not only was it hard to not just monologue at great length about what I think--which would seem to be negating the point of getting a discussion started--but it really, really wanted to branch off into an investigation of the recurring themes of humanity throughout this season.

Me, rambling? Un-possible!

I wouldn't mind a ROS fic as I finally got the DVDs and can stop watching those old videos.

Hm, how about Time Agent Jack on a mission to medival England and meeting up with the gang. Lots of eye candy for him. :)

Personally, I'd love to see a UNCLE/NCIS cross, especially after Kate asked Gibbs what Ducky looked like when he was younger and he replied "Ilya Kuriakin" (Apologies if I misspelled it). But that's just me. Unfortunately don't remember enough about UNCLE to write it myself.

Seriously, I'd like to see a UNCLE/TW fic, would be of the cool.

Still looking for drabble fodder?

Ahem. (http://travels-in-time.livejournal.com/14408.html)
