The usual...

[fangrrl_squees]

This really belongs in my non-fannish journal, but I figure I've got better odds at finding some sympathy over here.

My evil twin is trying to kill me, bless her heart. Annoyingly enough it took a hair over 2,000 words of random thinking/freewriting to come up with something even remotely resembles a plot for the Jack Harkness/James Bond/Jason Bourne crossover¹ I'd promised, and longer than that to shoehorn in the requisite smut, and it's still not not ideally situated - y'know how it is, sometimes... Never, ever commit to writing slashfic offhandedly, kids, it will haunt you.

However, I seem to be getting my revenge on said evil twin via dr_owen_harper, so I think we're even on that score.

Andrea's still stalking around muttering Weevils? and pouting 'cause I won't let her within a country mile of Owen Bloody Harper again. One PWP with those two was plenty.

Thinking of PWP: ladykoori, did you get the file I sent you this morning, or did my work servers eat it? The latter is quite possible, alas. I'm dead torn about doing an Owen/Ianto bit in a similar vein. I suspect I'll crack and start scribbling later this week, (edit: I cracked already. So much for that worry) but I really want to do Ianto's you just don't get it, yet talk with Jack, first. Then I'll write that story I told you about on Friday. Birthday surprise is still in the pipeline, but I'm feeling more abivalent about that one, as it's shaping up to be a bit too similar to the previous idea. Well, the plotbunnies have lots of time to graze before I get to them.

(ladykoori has, it seems, won the dubious distinction of being one of the very few folks I run my smutty story ideas past way before I write 'em. My evil twin's input is ever-valuable, natch, but her being eight time zones away makes some things tricky)

I've got a feeling that, in about 48 hours, I'm going to be bashing away at the keyboard a lot. My regular berth on Planet Pron has apparently been established... (ETA: Never mind the 48 hours bit. I did a serious rewrite on the switchy!Ianto bit on the way home, and bashed out a draft for the voyeurism story. I'm not entirely happy with it, but at least the plotbunnies have calmed down enough to let me, y'know, do other things...)

PS, moviegrrl, my hubby had a rather nifty idea for lola_in_tardis. Expect an email, shortly.

¹ - Yes, you read that right. Blame the evil twin - I do!

You didn't dub it, The Harkness Supremacy, did you?

[fangrrl-squees.livejournal.com]

No, but I might, now!

[ladykoori.livejournal.com]

I think your work server ate the file. *weeps*

....story you told me about Friday.....yeah I got nothing, I've done too much drinking/celebrating/shivering/cursing since then to remember.

I don't mind hearing plots, I enjoy it in fact. It's fun to hear about how other people come up with stories.

Also, I've sad news. I discovered the good photo scanner at the library has been broken. I'm going to have to try to get time on one of the art department scanners or use a crappy scanner.

[fangrrl-squees.livejournal.com]

1. I'll resend.

2. Ianto's latest little idea for Jack (I'll say more when I resend the story)

3. Boo to broken scanners!

[ladykoori.livejournal.com]

Got it!

Yes, boo at broken scanners. And its the kind of broken that requires it being completely replaced. *mumbles about stupid college students who don't know how to use things properly*

[fangrrl-squees.livejournal.com]

I'll second those mutterings. The *abuse* that the film equipment underwent at my place. Yowza...

Cool.
Have you sent it and I've missed it?
If it's worksafe, you know what to do :D

[fangrrl-squees.livejournal.com]

totally forgot to send it last night - will do so now. :)

I thought you said work was looking to curtail your net access on company time... maybe you've just got some days off or I'm mixing you up with someone else.

Mind you - you've been wanting to leave the bank now for greener pastures for some time. I think you're just too valuable and capable an administrator for them to let go! Just be glad you're not involved in doing the bank's website and secretly putting fan pr0n on it in your lunchbreak for a joke. Imagine that customer logs on and the message sent to all customers is a 2,000 word story about Jack & Ianto gay pr0n at Torchwood 3 Cardiff. lol.. Anyway...

They are. I'm just weak-willed.

I'm hanging on for my separation date (now 98% certain to be in mid/late july) as I reeeeeally want that three-months' salary redundancy pay - that's the trip to England covered, that is. :)

Re: extra curricular activities

A redundancy settlement was perhaps the one thing I didn't mention in that quote! On the "trip to England" matter how's the US citizenship coming along - did you get made one and I didn't notice?

I too am persuing dual nationality - so far two birth certificates away (one my own, one my Irish grandmothers) - then 2-3 months later I'll be a citizen of the irish republic - although as an EU citizen I already have the right to work and live there, an Irish passport would be a way to avoid the ID card requirement when my passport expires in 2009.

My citizenship app went in a short while ago, I probably won't hear from them again until June or so, to get fingerprinted and schedule the interview.
