Torchwood: More Smut Meta

Hm, fangrrl has smut!meta on the brain. It must be a day with a "Y" in it.

Further musings about Jack/Ianto d/s, as per Negotiation, etc. ( Behind the curtain )

And, in what has to be one of my more ironic moments so far this year, since tapping the above out on the ol' LJ client at work, I've roughed out the next installment in the story. I might not be the first ficcer to put Jack Harkness in (spoiler removed - plus some people just don't want that sort of mental image) but it was a first for me. I'll post it after it's had a chance to sit for a few hours.

EDIT: Sonofabitch! Ianto just blithely kept on going, and now I'm well into the *next* next bit of that particular torrid tale. However, I see a stumbling block coming up (I won't explain, it'll just ruin the story for the half a dozen folks who actually want to read this kind of thing) but dammit, now I'm all hot and bothered, have forgotten to eat lunch and I've got four hours of meetings about to commence. Damn you, Ianto!

Torchwood: Torrid Tuesday Fic.

This is All Ianto's Fault. Srsly.

Title: Incognito.
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Rating: Whatever passes for 'adult' in your part of the world - slash, generally smutty, d/s (forced crossdressing)
Spoilers: none
Summary: a de-facto follow up to Negotiation, the BDSM-talk-fic of doooom. The time for talk is done - in a manner of speaking - as Jack starts to get an inkling of what he let himself in for.

Part 1 of god knows how many pieces as fangrrl has fun turning Jack into a subbie. A second part has been drafted (working title: Exposed), and toppy!Ianto is suggested a third. Did I mention that today was probably the least productive workday of my life, and that includes the day after the Webbys when everyone was so hungover, the boss closed the office down?

As ever, feedback is appreciated, but not expected.

I might be looking for a beta/collaborator for Exposed, which is a regular prose tale in this, er, continuity. Drop a line to fangrrl_squees(at)livejournal(dot)com if you're interested.

BFA - The Gathering

To get away from the Torchwood-smut for one damn second (y'all can't see the private entry I've got cued up for posting after beta, trust me, this is only an interlude), I finished listening to the BFA The Gathering, earlier today.

Wow! Brilliant! I don't know if I was just predisposed to liking it after reading some positive reviews or what, but this one really clicked for me. A solid cast putting out a great performance - more chemistry between the characters than I've heard in a lot of BFAs - with a story that wasn't too silly (let's be honest, most of them are a bit silly) and, for once, the music didn't drive me straight up the wall. Calloo! Callay! Let us burble in our joy!

Who wrote this one? What else have they done? *Wikis* Joseph Lidster. I see he did the companion story The Reaping - which is going on my list, even if Nicola Bryant's accent still makes me a bit bugnuts. Let's see what else. Terror Firma - heard it and generally liked it, although I felt like they pulled one big tease with C'rizz, just when things were getting interesting. Master - haven't heard it, haven't heard of it. I'll have to find some reviews...

That final conversation between Tegan and the Doctor? Loved it. Davison and Fielding were pretty damn solid throughout, in fact. I rather hope this won't be the only story with them, but all signs point to that being the case. Sigh. Still, at least I've still got a few Fifth Doctor/Nyssa ones to go through, and I'm told that some of them are remarkably decent. I have an unrelenting soft spot for the Fifth Doctor, warts and all. ;)

So, yeah, without getting spoileriffic, The Gathering goes on my top five list of Fave BFAs. See, it's not all Eighth Doctor!
