| Sorry for the lack of fic update this last week, things have been busy and baby has been grumpy little man (who knew babies could start teething at 2 months?), not letting me have any time to do anything.
I have got some more of Secrets and Hope written, and the last part is nearly finished - it's the dialogue that is taking me so long. I am thinking about writing an epilogue for it. The reason for this is that pretty much anything that I try to write for Jack and Ianto finally being alone together ends up as more than the pg/pg13 that the rest of the story is, more of a 15/light R really.
The epilogue will be an extra read it if want kind of thing, as the story will be complete in the nine chapters. | |

| ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) saying_yes_2010 is a comment fic community which starts posting in January. It's focus is on positive sex fics and art. ( Details of the community are under this cut. )I will probably be taking part in this, and thought I get the word out to my flist as I thought some of you might be interested in a comm like this. | |
|
| Okay, some of you may know that I'm the mod over at Divergent Worlds - a Children of Earth AU community. I'm thinking of running a fic challenge over there and I'm trying to gauge whether there is any interest for it. ( Details of possible fic challenge under the cut. ) | |
|
| Still around, have been without internet for most of the week.
I'm hoping to post the last part of Secrets and Hope tomorrow evening. I'll be starting posting my new Torchwood fic (when do I write anything else), Past Imperfect, from the middle of next week, it'll have about 6 parts, and I hope to get it all posted by Christmas - as I'll be away at the inlaws over Christmas and won't have any internet for a week. | |

Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

| Nabbed from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) temporal_witch and yamxPick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track. Drabbles here: http://the-silver-sun.livejournal.com/tag/drabbleFics here: http://the-silver-sun.livejournal.com/tag/ficI really need to update my fic masterlist - not least because I can't actually remember how many I've written, I think it's about 50 though. | |
|
| I know I said I'd try to post an update of Secrets and Hope every Sunday, it's going to be Monday for the next part as I've had relatives visiting this weekend - which means no writing time.
The next part is nearly writen and I hope to post it tomorrow evening.
With Secrets and Hope being just a couple of parts from the end I'm now trying to decide what I should write next. I've got a few things that are either roughly planned out or in some cases partially finished.
My original bigbang fic from 2 years ago, that never got finished, which is Ianto/omc, set post series one of Torchwood (it was started before series 2 aired) Basically Ianto trying to have a normal life while still working for Torchwood. There's about 14k of this story written, and probably about the same amount still to write.
The bigbang I had to drop out of this year which is Jack/Ianto, and set between Meat and Adam in series 2. Part of Jack's past that he can't remember resurfaces. There's about 10k of this written, with about 6/7k still to write.
A case based fic set post series 2, Jack, Ianto and Gwen investigating missing people, and dealing with having lost Owen and Tosh. Planned out, but very little written. Probably at least 10k.
The AU fic in which Ianto doesn't join Torchwood three until the end of series one, but is still in contact with Jack. Mostly deals with how things would have gone in series one if Ianto hadn't been there. Mostly just a collection of rather vague notes at the moment. No idea how long this one would be, but I can't see it being less than 10k.
My new CoE fix it fic idea which involves the use of a damaged ghost machine by Jack with rather unexpected results. Only a couple of hundred words written. Really no idea how long this one could be as it's rather an open ended idea and could end up being the start of an AU series.
The vague plan to write a companion piece to A Year Out of Time from Ianto's point of view. Nothing done with this one yet. It would probably be the same kind of length as A Year Out of Time, so about 30k.
Of these ideas is there any particular one that people would be interested in me finishing first? As at the moment I'm undecided as to which one to do. | |

| This was posted over at the web board of the reenactment group that I'm with. Lieutenant Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Jack" Churchill, DSO & Bar, MC & Bar (16 September 1906 – 8 March 1996), nicknamed "Fighting Jack Churchill" and "Mad Jack", was an English soldier who fought throughout World War II armed with a bow, arrows and a claymore. He once said "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed". Rest of info here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill and it just gets more incredible. If this were a film I don't think anyone would believe it was true. | |

| Title: Secrets and Hope - (7/9) Characters/pairings: Ianto, Jack, Gwen, Rhys, various other characters introduced in CoE. Jack/Ianto and Gwen/Rhys Rating: PG, maybe pg13ish in places. Genre: Happy ended angst, hurt/comfort. Summary: As Torchwood rebuilds following the events of CoE the government is still keeping secrets and it's up to Ianto to reveal the truth. Spoilers: Children of Earth days 4 and 5, mention of a character from Doctor Who The Sontaran Stratagem. Authors note: A CoE fix-it fic. The much longer working life of previous Torchwood operatives is taken from the BBC website for series two and relates to the staff of Torchwood 3 during WW1. I will try to update once a week, but a new baby means my posting schedule could be a bit erratic. part onepart twopart three part fourpart fivepart six( Ianto's not sure how far he's swum before the water starts shallows and he has to abandon swimming in favour of wading. ) | |

| Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose a few people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. ( Pierced ears, chasing hat theives and red hair dye + 22 other random things )I'm not tagging anybody, but anybody on the f-list can tag themselves if they want to. | |

Go it alone. I hate admitting to not feeling well, and hate even more have to take a break, and being fussed over by people, however well meaning they are, annoys me rather than makes me feel better. If I can I go on working (one of the reason that in the past ten and a half years of paid employment I've only had about 20 days off sick.) It's not always been the brightest thing to do - the time I had chicken pox, and thought it was just insect bites (I was on excavation at the time) and continued working until the supervisor said I looked ill and should go home, as he didn't want the whole site off sick. I ended up taking 3 days off + the weekend which we didn't work anyway, then went back to work still feeling awful - needed the money to pay rent/bills/buy food. End result was I lost nearly a stone in weight in three weeks, and took near a year to put it back on. I also learnt that size 8/125lb isn't a good look on me. I think part of the reason is growing up with a brother who needed a lot of medical care and that he was frequently sick. I felt that being sick as well wasn't fair on my mum so tried to pretend I wasn't whenever I could, or at least down play it. I think it's too ingrained in my mentality now to change. | |

| I think I'm going to have to drop out of the tw-bigbang challenge, as I've only got about 60% of my story written and it needs to be at about 90% by the end of Monday. I'm still going to finish the fic though, eventually. Still writing/trying to find time to write the other fic that I've got going.
I'm not getting much time to write at the moment with baby wanting to be fed every two hours or so day and night, free time at the moment is generally spent sleeping. | |
|
| Quick post for now, just to let people know that baby is now here.
He was born on Monday morning, and me and him got home/out of hospital yesterday evening. We're both doing okay. It wasn't the birth plan than I'd hoped for, but it all turned out okay in the end.
Still really tired at the moment, will post more later in week. | |
|
| As most of you probably know I'm taking part in tw_bigbangand that the fic for it will need to be beta'd. I've now got about half the story written and will be sending in the rough draft on/around the 28th of Sept. so at around that time I will need a beta reader to get it ready for the final draft at the end of October, although I will probably be able to get the first half of the story to a beta reader earlier than the 28th Sept if they wanted. The whole fic will be around 15-17k in length, and will be written in third person perspective (Jack) and present tense, as just about everything that I write is. ( Basic details of fic that will appear in fic header. ) | |
