zomg, bman, how so hilarious?

Also, sharpest_rose is a super-shiny storyteller and her latest book (punk vampires!) has just been published, but not ONLY do you get that injection of mary-writing, but she's offering ficlets as well. In summary: THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE TORCHWOOD FIC, YOU GUYS. ♥ ♥ ♥ x a million.


In other news, it's nearly 2am and I'm ready to post my new fic, but first I have to come up with a bloody summary. This is going to take me HOURS. (My life, so hard.)

Title: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Author: Hope (hope angstslashhope)
Fandom: Torchwood
Wordcount: ~11,000
Genre: curtainfic, AU, angst
Rating: R
Characters(s): Jack/Ianto, Gwen
Warnings: Angst, but with a happy ending(!)
Notes: Thanks to zortified and rexluscus for beta (and alpha!) help, and cupidsbow for listening to the story the first time around.

Mostly written before (and thus jossed by) Children of Earth, which makes it somewhat of an AU. Set post-S2.

Summary: An ordinary end to an ordinary day. Except this is Torchwood, where ends tend not to be ordinary.

Read on the AO3.

Blogs I'm enjoying a lot right now:

A Photography Blog - collections of awesome images. I want to print them all out and surround myself with them at all times.

Bibliodyssey - collections of images and typography from old books, in hi res.


Web comics I'm enjoying a lot right now:

Hark! A Vagrant! - a history geek's hilarious takes on figures and events in history.

Small Peculiar - a bit like xkcd, but a neurotic girl instead of nerdy boy.


Fannish!

Bluebird by basingstoke - an incredibly creepy and brilliant Addams Family/Torchwood crossover. Seriously awesome. basingstoke needs to write Torchwood fic ALL THE TIME.

worn once by euclase - gorgeous Ianto fanart.


Seriously, I did a university degree in creative art, including several semesters of visual art - drawing, painting, printing, 3D - and still find myself wistfully thinking, whenever I see fanart I love, "sigh, I wish I could draw, maybe I should take an art class.." *headdesk*

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll tell you what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

For present fandom only, though. Torchwood fic masterlist here, or alternately on Dreamwidth.

I feel like I've created a million places to play in, but don't know where to start, so have at it!
