When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ

From The Sound of Drums:

The Master: Laser screwdriver, who’d have sonic? And the good thing is, he’s not dead for long. I get to kill him again!


Yeah, not a very exciting quote, but it's my Master through and through. :-)

And taken from karaokegal:

For the writers among you: leave a bit of writing - just a few sentences or a paragraph or two - ANONYMOUSLY--in a comment and I will try to guess who you are. Try to write in your usual style.

Incredibly difficult, I think, but I'd love to give it a go!

For your writing meme... a snippet of something.

[(Anonymous)]

Ianto stepped away from Jack until he was certain he was out of earshot, and dialled a number that was only ever stored in his own memory, never to be trusted anywhere else.

“Ianto?”

“I have eight hours I need to hide from myself for. Do you fancy lending a hand?” A chuckle echoed weirdly in Ianto’s ear through the phone

“I’d love to, but you do realise that....” There was a pause; Ianto smiled to himself, the question would come next. “Ianto, just what is it that you aren’t you telling me?” He took a deep breath, another, and gave the answer in two words that he hoped would explain everything; his needs and his doubts.

“Jack’s back.” Another pause, another breath, and then he had his answer.

“I’ll be there in three hours.”

Oh gosh, this one's hard. Very hard.

I'm going to guess, and I probably wouldn't have thought of this person if I didn't know she'd been around at that point in time... Nuptse?

It was longer, but then I realised it was supposed to be short (as opposed to over 300 words) so I posted a snippet, which probably made it more difficult. See the icon? It's another one of *those*... *g*

I was actually just veering towards you - so I'm going to count that as a win! Especially as (sorry to have to admit it) I haven't read much of your stuff!

Re: For your writing meme... a snippet of something.

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Ah but then Highlander isn't one of your fandoms is it? And considering about 80% of my stuff is highlander crossovers it means that there isn't the same level of interest. Nowt wrong with that!

Re: For your writing meme... a snippet of something.

[unfeathered]

Yeah, exactly. Still feel bad though. I'm getting very bad at reading my friends' fic. I used to read everything on my flist.

Actually, I probably would have read your threesome thing if I'd come in at the beginning. But there was so much to catch up on I just never got round to it. Same with several other long things, like Jades' Hugh thing.

Re: For your writing meme... a snippet of something.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

nothing wrong with *those* We like *those*!!!

Re: For your writing meme... a snippet of something.

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Rest of it posted on my LJ now.
There may or may not be a sequel, depending on the brain and the muses as I wasn't quite expecting this when I sat down to write something anyway - I've been waiting for the Methos/Ianto muse to kick in but was being distracted by the Dresden Files...

distractions are good! But so is this! *runs to go see*

silly drabble to guess authorship of:

[(Anonymous)]

Owen stared at Jack. “I dare you to eat it.”

“You dare him? What are you, twelve? Gwen, come here and talk some sense into these two!”

“Leave her out of this,” Owen hissed, watching Jack poke at what was in front of him. “This is between me and Jack. He’s the one who swore he’d eat anything.”

“But Owen, it came through the rift!”

“I scanned it! It’s clean.”

“But...” Tosh’s protests were drowned out by a wrapper crinkling.

After a moment’s chewing Jack smiled. “Prawn cocktail flavored rift Quavers. Yummmm”

“If they’re so good you should swallow.”

“No.”

Donutsweeper.

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

*sigh* that really was too easy, wasn't it? I thought I might throw you by using a UK treat instead of a US one. *grumbles*

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

[unfeathered]

Yes, it really was easy! :-)

But thank you! I suspect that's the only one I'll get! *g*

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and hopefully it got a laugh?

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

[unfeathered]

It did! Sorry, I'm a bit distracted. It's a very cute, fun drabble and it made me giggle.

That's how I knew it was you. :-)

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Well, good. That mission was accomplished at least! :)

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

Yay - bouncing ephalent!

Re: silly drabble to guess authorship of:

he's very happy you giggled!

Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[(Anonymous)]

The Doctor's pupils were huge and his breathing was rapid. "Nothing to be done, I don't think. Not going to kill me, the venom's just got to break down." He rubbed his eyes with a shaky hand. "Three, maybe four hours."

"And in the meantime?"

"Rose? Rose, go to your room. Tell the TARDIS to lock the door, not to let me in. Jack, see if you can make the old girl understand."

"You're not going to hurt Rose."

"You don't know what I'm going to do! I don't know what I'm going to do." He had a deathgrip on the front of Jack's coat.

"OK, OK, relax." He looked the Doctor in the eyes and said as firmly and seriously as he could, "You're not going to hurt Rose. I'm not going to let you hurt Rose. She's going to be fine, she's safe."

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[unfeathered]

Someone American. I don't know anyone English who would use "I don't think" like that. :-)

Now, I would guess Lis, except she's not here right now...

God, this is hard!

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Hee! Definitely someone American, and I was terribly unfair because I don't really write these three normally. But my other WIPs are Redux-verse, and wow, would that have been obvious. I don't mind being mistaken for Lis at all. *is happy*

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[unfeathered]

*grins* I didn't think of you at all!

*does double-take* Redux!verse? Yay!!!

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

There's a reason this thing's been sitting on my hard drive forever. *sigh* Poor taffimai asked me for Nine/Jack h/c a million years ago. Evidently, even though I really LIKE Nine/Jack h/c, I don't write it.

Redux!Verse, yep! Snippets. That I wish would decide what they want to be.

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[unfeathered]

Ah well, maybe now you've dragged it out, you'll start thinking about it and get going on it again?

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Right now I'd settle for finishing anything. Er. Which is hard to do if you're not actually writing. *sheepish*

Re: Part of this might as well see the light of day somewhere:

[unfeathered]

Yeah, tell me about it. Now that I'm writing at work because there's nothting else to do, I'm just not doing any writing at all at home!

I so nearly finished my new chapter last week, and yet I can't seem to get myself motivated to read through it and tidy it up and write the end while I'm at home. :-(

For the Meme thing

[(Anonymous)]

"He's gone."

Donna sat down at her kitchen table with a thump, glad she'd already set the cup of tea down. "What?" She stared at the woman across from her. "What do you mean, he's gone? Even after the Daleks exterminated him, he didn't stay gone, you brought him back!"

"I can't bring him back, he's not dead." Romana sighed, rubbing her temple, glaring at the regalia of her office, tossed over the end of the table. "And I can't get him back."

Okay, I have absolutely no reason for this guess, but... Smithy?

Re: For the Meme thing

[morgynleri]

Nope. Is me. I wrote using two characters I haven't used before, so I probably threw you off a bit. But I had a thought on my Fairytales and Nightmares AU (Koschei & broken!Ten and Tosh and 1941!Jack from Whoville)

Re: For the Meme thing

[unfeathered]

You know, after I went to bed, I suddenly thought of you.

I think it was the Donna thing that threw me. I seem to associate Donna with Smith. :-)

haha if people keep doing this meme I'll have posted the whole fic!

“They'll come flooding over that ridge and there'll be noise – louder than anything you've ever heard in your life – louder than launch time at the Cape even - but-”

The boy's knuckles glowed white in the darkness – he could hear his teeth chattering. Had he really been that frightened? He bumped his elbow.

“It's just adrenaline -you'll be fine... Won't he be fine corporal?”

“Fine like the rain Lootenant. Fine like the rain,” the old timer called back. “Me and him both.”

You got me fair and square :D

Re: haha if people keep doing this meme I'll have posted the whole fic!

[unfeathered]

I have to admit, if you'd posted it at a time when other people were actually around, I might not have thought of you so quickly. :-)

Is this your young Jack fic?

Re: haha if people keep doing this meme I'll have posted the whole fic!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Yep, my Jack/Jack fic of dooooooooooooom

Darn being on the other side of the Atlantic to just about everyone else on our f-lists :D

Re: haha if people keep doing this meme I'll have posted the whole fic!

[unfeathered]

Yeah. It does tend to give it away. :-)

Glad you're feeling better today, btw.

THanks :D If I take pills early enough I'm normally just muzzy the next morning. HOORAY for medication!
