I know that I wrote a commentary on "Yours, mine and his" as requested but do you think I can find it? So, in the meantime, I've got them for "Looking in" and "Coming Back" and I'll get the other done asap.

The original story is here.

This is the original introduction etc, as they tend to say as much about me as the fic...

Right, it's finally done, the last sequins are stuck on and it's ready to go. Actually, as costumes go, it's more the equivalent of throwing a sheet over your head and calling yourself a ghost, but hey - it's my costume and I'll wear what I want :P Well, it is. It still reads like me, even if it's not the kind of subject matter I'd usually tackle. I'm going to do better this year, I promise :)

Much kudos to

karaokegal for throwing the best Come As You Aren't party in LJ-land.

Title: Looking In
Pairing: House/Cameron. Sort of. *grin*
Rating: gen
Word Count: 2,400 ~4,000 with commentary
Summary: Cameron sees House differently. And takes her chance.
Why it’s a costume: It's House/Cameron. It's hard to write what you don't believe in... Only, of course, it's not House/Cameron, which is kind of the point.
Thanks to

perspi as ever - the original draft was a ficlet for her, and it grew into this. Please note that it's un-beta-ed, so if you spot a typo, let me know! You know, Perspi seems to have all my Housefic ideas... ;)

( Looking in )

Written for ficcommentary. In two parts, because brevity is not my strong point.

This was the story when I knew I had a series on my hands. Jack and I were getting on great, and the OCs had good, strong voices in my head. I didn't plan on getting to 85,000+ words, but these things happen.

The original story is now here

I've commented on the header as well, as it all works together...

Title: Coming Back
Titles are very important to me. Like

nightdog_barks, I believe quite firmly that stories 'tell me' what they want to be called. Normally this involves leaning back in the chair and staring into space for a while, but it counts as writing, honest. I generally try to pin down the theme of the story, the one big thing that I want to get across. And in this case, it was obvious.

Author:

jadesfire2808
Word Count: ~9200 ~12,500 with commentary, and therefore split into two parts.
Warnings/Rating: PG but nothing worse than you'd see on Torchwood
Spoilers: None that I could spot for Torchwood but I guess technically for "Parting of the Ways" The commentary has spoilers for most of S1 of Torchwood, as well as S3 of Doctor Who

Summary: Working for Torchwood doesn't exactly turn out as Jack had hoped.

A/N: The second of six stories exploring what Jack did between being left on Satellite Five and Torchwood S1. The Doctor Who episode referenced in this is the 7th Doctor story "The Curse of Fenric." Jack belongs to the BBC etc. Jock, Hugh and the rest are mine.

Thanks to

crystalshard who helped put flesh on the bones of the story. And then some. Seriously, this woman has beta'd every word of my massive series, and didn't let me get away with anything along the way. She suggested reshaping this and it worked so much better afterwards.
