jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Random - Shep - Hair)
It's been an odd weekend. I've done more chores than I knew we had room for - seriously, how can a 5 room flat acquire so much stuff to do? - I've watched enough Masterchef to make me seriously hungry and I've slep more than I usually do in a week. Huh.

I've also written what I think is one of my best Jack character studies, and everyone's more interested in the cheese. *sigh* I guess it didn't help that [livejournal.com profile] torchwood_three put my fic link in with the icon posts. Either that, or the fandom's just in the right mood for crack!fic right now. The fact that [livejournal.com profile] miss_zedem wrote cheese!fic as well makes me feel slightly better.

I also finally cracked open a book I've had for way too long without reading. And discovered that I shouldn't read it in the bath, because I was seized with the urge to drop it in. The book is "Fighting the Forces" which is a series of essays about Buffy. This isn't really my field (although I know it is some of yours) but I found myself both intrigued and infuriated.

Is it ironic that I'm angry about an essay on anger? )

[livejournal.com profile] torchwood_meta is going great (check out the interview with [livejournal.com profile] fandom_me) and everyone seems to be calming down a bit. I'm kinda bracing myself for the next episode, but hopefully people have learned their lesson. And yes, I'm also expecting a fly-by from the Porcine Display team...

The final installment of the "Undead" series.

With many, many thanks to everyone who commented, this is (at last and as requested) the final bonus track. I finally figured out why I couldn't get Spike and Jack to behave. I was trying to write them as a post-script, when, in fact, they met before Jack met Buffy…

Don't say I don't listen to the reading public. You wanted Jack and Giles? You got it. No problem. The trouble is, you're stuck with a 'Gen' writer's interpretation. *grin* Be careful what you wish for...

Well, here it is, the story I wasn't going to write. Thanks should go to [livejournal.com profile] pwcorgigirl whose *pleading eyes* convinced me to go on and to [livejournal.com profile] entangled_now for stopping by for encouragement :D It's ended up in three parts, due to length, and I've locked earlier versions to avoid confusion. Apologies if multi-parts and cross-posting lead to spamming…

I'm told that no Torchwood knowledge is required for the reading of this story – Jack is explanation enough! Comments and concrit craved as ever.
