One year, one week...

Last week - the 10th of December - marked precisely one year since my first Torchwood fic found its way onto the internet.

Being swamped with university coursework at the time (last week, not last year...) I didn't get round to making a celebratory post. So here it is now. :)

I've gone and had a look around my journal, and my "fic - torchwood" tag apparently has 55 uses. Just give me a second while I work that out...

Discounting the multiple chapters of Jack's Capture and adding in the comment-posted-fics in Thirty Flavours (which is still going, by the way, and will be finished at some point...), by my reckoning that's 66 individual fics, with maybe only seven being drabbles. Not bad, really. Considering I have been a bit busy...

Oh, and as shadowbyrd mentioned in her Anniversary post, we posted Fine Lines on the 10th December (my second fic that night...), right before Random Shoes aired (with seconds to spare) and offered virtual cookies to anyone who guessed who'd done which sections.

She's confessed, so I suppose I should too.

I was Jack. Clueless, hopeful, caring Jack. :) Bless him.



And as my anniversary party, I'm nicking a meme from shadowbyrd (you should try it there too... Heehee!). Feel free to invite friends over and join in, I'm really looking forward to being inundated with comments on this one (subtle, huh?).

Stump the writer!

A -- go to the list of my fic (see my fic tags - the Torchwood fic is listed here, since the individuals might be a bit easy, but do feel free) and pick out a line or two from one of my stories. (Must be a full line, please -- no sentence fragments or speech tags or other such nonsense.)
B -- I will respond with which story of mine I think it's from.
C -- A drabble to anyone who stumps me.


:) Simple and fun. Bring it on!


EDIT: Yike. This may have been a bad idea - I keep losing! I now owe dr_is_in, joulez217 and karaokegal gift fic! Mind you, it did take quite a few goes. ;)

Misconduct

This is original fic - and this is about the fourth version of it. It's this one that I handed in for one module at university. And only now on rereading do I find that I rather dislike some of the phrasing and suchlike. *chews lip* Well, too late now, I guess.
