Well, it's been a long time coming, but here is part three (finally). As before- if you're too young to watch unedited 'Torchwood', you're too young for this, as it contains much rudeness and gratuitous swearing.






( Sorry... )

Bah. I have an excuse of lots of RL stuff going on.

In the midst of all that, however, I have still found time to procrastinate on t'internet. After a throwaway comment by livii in their Rare Ships Month: Martha/Harry post on who_otp, to which half a dozen of us replied with 'Oh, it wasn't just me who watched 'The Sontaran Stratagem' and extrapolated, then?', I decided it was high time for a Brig/Donna fic.

So I wrote one. It's a bit of a character study, a bit funny (hopefully) and a bit rude.

Time lines, Schmime lines

In order to repair his TARDIS, the Doctor braves crossing his own time line. With Donna in tow, this turns out to be the least of his problems...

( Too much time on your hands? )

Goodness. I really haven't posted anything since Part One?

I suck at LiveJournal.

Anyway, here is Part Two of 'Spearhead From Space'... Torchwood style! As before, if you're too young to watch the unedited 'Torchwood' episodes, you're too young to click on the piccie links below. Crudeness abounds:

As I have now worked out LiveJournal galleries, here is Part One in gallery form:



(as above)

Enjoy!

Well, it's that time again! In just a few days series two of Torchwood will begin on BBC2 and I will probably be repeating last year's viewing experience, which involved watching an episode, getting tremendously angry about the whole thing, watching the next episode in the hope it would be better, then getting even angrier, and so on. The odd episode was quite good, but I nearly had an ulcer at the 'let's disregard history entirely and conveniently sweep away the fact that homosexuality wasn't just something people were prejudiced against, it was a criminal offence in 1940' moment. And don't get me started on the Jack/Ianto thing*

It was Dick Emery with aliens, basically. Or, as Al Murray as The Pub Landlord put it, 'Touchcloth. It's for kids, even though it has swearing and lesbians'.

The outcome of which has been a lot of 'how much better would Torchwood be if they were U.N.I.T.' type discussions, and how much better U.N.I.T. were than Torchwood could ever hope to be. Well, you know what? I'm going to suggest that, instead of wondering what Torchwood would be like if they were more like U.N.I.T., how about wondering what U.N.I.T. would be like if they were more like Torchwood?

Wonder no longer.

This is about twenty pictures, so will no doubt gobble up bandwidth. It isn't work-safe and it is very childish, very rude and probably rather offensive. It will only get worse. Basically, if you're too young to watch Torchwood, you're too young to click on the link below:

ETA: clicking on any of the pictures brings them up full size, which is rather nifty. I apologise in advance for the lame graphics.

And how much did I LOL at 'My Desk'... powered by Google Maps!

*Unless it turns out to be some huge bizarre revenge plot on Ianto's side, don't expect me to be convinced of the true love between a man who lost his fiancee and love-of-his-life when she was turned into a Cyber-lady, and the man who not only killed her, but fed her to a pterodactyl When it became blatantly transparent there was something going on (the whole stopwatch metaphor thingy in the episode where Suzie came back), my thoughts were, 'Well, they can't be having a fling- that would just be stupid, given that Jack fed the love of Ianto's life to a pterodactyl'. Oh, how I had to eat those words... I can feel my stomach clenching in rage just from dredging up the memories!

Thought I'd post this here, after I attempted a drabble on the loves_them_all community Drabblethon based on the prompt "Martha/Brig/semiautomatic Weapons". It was about 2am and it took me an hour. Sadly, although a drabble is supposed to be around 100 words, I found myself physically incapable of containing myself within such boundaries. In other words, I am destined to write long convoluted stories that will cause people to raise their eyebrows at and go, "How long? Screw that!"

Anyway, here is that story:

Okay, so I gave in and wrote two stories that were primarily romance. Doctor Who related stories, at that- specifically Third Doctor UNIT era concerning the Brigadier and Liz Shaw.

I’ve never done this before and it was an odd feeling. Sort of like watching Daytime Telly; fun, but you feel a little ashamed afterwards.

No More Than a Feeling

Over the course of a year, a married man contemplates an affair. It isn't the first time. Companion piece to 'An Unexpected Education'.


An Unexpected Education

Over the course of a year, a scientific advisor falls in love for possibly the first time. It's most inconvenient. Companion piece to 'No More Than a Feeling'.

I blame other writers, however :) . I have searched high and low on t’internet and have been able to find a grand total of about two or three fan fics concerning the pairing of these two U.N.I.T. era characters. Why isn't anybody writing it? There's such tension, in a repressed, middle-class sort of way, and there are so many ways you can play the angle- comedy, angst, others (hey, it's late)... 

So, there you go...

Hello!

This is my first post *looks around nervously*. I am new to Live Journal and am using it primarily to put up my stories (both fan fic and original) that I keep writing, as well as anything else I may want to get off my chest. Wow- virtual therapy; can't beat it :).

To start, here are links to two of my Harry Potter fan fic stories. They are very long and written prior to 'Half-Blood Prince' being released (so, pretty old, really): 

The Brethren of Tyr (Rating: PG-12A):
http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/Sleepy_Sheep/The_Brethren_Of_Tyr/ 
Synopsis: Harry is mourning the loss of his godfather, Sirius Black, but the sorting of his affairs raises even more questions about his past. In this, his sixth year at Hogwarts, Harry has to face an increasingly odd Draco, an entirely different slant on Quidditch, yet another new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, his destiny as the wizarding world's last hope against Voldemort, and possibly worse than all of these combined- the arrival of his O.W.L. results. The Ministry of Magic's palpable struggle against Voldemort's increasing war efforts offer little comfort, nor does Luna Lovegood's new obsession with the myth of the Brethren of Tyr. And who thought they would ever see the day that Hermione refuses to enter the library?

The Man of the Moment (Rating: PG-12A):
http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/Sleepy_Sheep/The_Man_Of_The_Moment/
Synopsis: In the eyes of the law, Harry has become a man. However, with the War in full swing, and attacks becoming more violent and more complicated, Harry is going to have to become a man in every sense on the word if he is to emerge triumphant. Not that this is always his biggest priority- staff changes at Hogwarts, N.E.W.T. exams and Quidditch still compete for equal attention. Whilst political clashes, prophecies, death, deception, anger and love abound, Harry begins to wonder if he is the only sane person left in the wizarding world, and who really will be The Man of the Moment.

Most of my posts are probably going to be 'Doctor Who' related, as I'm in a bit of a 'Who mood at the moment.

Enjoy! Or Ignore; I believe in freedom of choice.
