clean and pressed, yay

1. People reading the BBC Torchwood novels (if there are any of you), can you tell me if David Llewellyn's 'Trace Memory' is typical for them? I mean in style, tone, etc.

2. I'm a little tempted to make myself write at least 100 words of Kara/Sam--and post it--every day. If only to get myself back into the habit. (or, y'know, anything)

3. I have jury duty Wednesday and Thursday. In searching for the paperwork, I discovered that I have ten thousand pieces of paper with scenes, notes and whole fics on them. Right now, I have so many pieces of stories to write, I will NEVER COMPLETE THEM before I die.

3a. Probably.

4. I discovered something while reading Trace Memory. I don't really like writing straight Torchwood fic. I far prefer writing them in crossovers. Maybe because the canon gives me exactly what I want?

5. I have spoiled myself quite a bit for the DW season 4 ender. Am still spoiler-free for TW season 2, however. eta: is spoilery comments, somewhat, yes.

You never quite explained how you were pressed.

2. O, good idea. I WILL write something for the porn battle. Even if it involves total abuse of a prompt

3. I SO want Jury duty and no one will let me have it. :jealous:

3a. Pinches your cheeks.

4. Interesting how that works - I think it helps to have a canon that is imperfect, oddly. I'm sure I've shared this fabulous and new insight with you before. ;]

5. Me too. So Rose = Helo, huh?

With, um, soap and water?

2. YAY. I keep trying and getting, like, two paragraphs and then giving up.

3. I would give you mine if I could. I'm losing 16 hours of work and getting paid for three.

4. I'm not sure about the imperfectness... maybe more that I really like crossovers? Because TW is imperfect, it's just that the imperfections don't annoy me (or cause headdesking). Also, they don't continue to relegate their women to having babies. *kicks Stargate*

5. HAHAHAH. Yes.

I asked her if she'd been talking to you, recently. ;]

I'm not sure how attached you are to watching the end of s4 of DW, but I'd watch the end of TW first if you haven't already been spoiled for it.

Oh, I know. I'm not planning to watch the end bits anytime soon, and we're just incredibly bad/lazy about getting through the rest of TW (I suspect I'm reluctant to lose that "OMG NEW EPISODES, YAY!" patina of sparkliness)
