Where iz all the good Torchwood icons, banners and wallpapers hiding? Apart from at torchwoodicons. There's surely more than one community. I needs Ianto icons and I needs them now!
Anything to spread the GDL Love! You know he's going to be at DragonCon in Atlanta, right? I'm just jealous of the women across the pond who get to see him perform live.
Icons aren't necessarily my strongest talent but I posted some torchwood icons last week here (http://shannon730.livejournal.com/531984.html). There are a few Ianto and a few Ianto/Jack and some Gwen I think...I need more Ianto icons too so after we're done moving there will probably be more...
and now that you've fallen in love with Torchwood I assume I can firmly cross you off of the list of people who will try to convince me NOT to write the Ianto/Jack bunny that won't die...ignoring it doesn't seem to be effective and I don't need a new fandom but hell Ianto/Jack fans even seem to lean towards fluff which so few pairings seem to do in any fandom anymore...
:) I"ll try...I have an HP fic I must finish first though...although my beta really dislkes DW and Torchwood...
And you do know I've never written anything even remotely slash before, right? Other than a couple of Suki's fics I haven't even really read much slash...until I started watching Torchwood a month ago...
:) If your beta really can't bear the idea of TW, don't hesitate to send it along to me, if she wouldn't mind. I haven't read much Janto yet, but I have devoured every ep. *g*
Hee! It's a bit daunting at first, but slash isn't complicated. You're writing a love story, with different plumbing. Just remember neither of them should be girly, but men, and you'll quickly get into the swing. I can't write het, to save my life, and applaud you for even thinking about branching out.
Thanks...and it's Gabrielle...she'll do it if I ask but I know she really hates it and just doesn't want to say no...
I do want to try it...and it's not like I write any NC-17 het so odds are slash won't be any different but this is really the first slash pairing I've really liked.
Gabrielle won't mind. You know she and I are friends and I've already cleared it with her. I wouldn't do it if she objected, because her friendship is so important.
Give it a go. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by trying something different. Just a love story, nothing scary. It's canon that Jack and Ianto are lovers. You can write as little or as much detail as you're comfortable with.
Thanks, and yeah I know you're friends. I figured she wouldn't mind...she usually will beta for me even if she doesn't like the fandom but I always feel guilty for even asking her when I know she doesn't like it...
Yeah, totally get it. She doesn't much like the HP fandom but you do. HP is a minor fandom for me and I don't understand most of the charas, but I beta Snowy when she writes in it. We go the extra mile for our friends, even when it's fandoms we can't really get into.
Exactly. I'll beta things I know I don't like for friends. I know how hard it is to find a beta so I hate saying no to a friend...unless I just can't, Which I think is how you ended up betaing for Lorraine when she started writing Spander...I tried but I have this intense dislike of Xander which made helping with his characterization difficult and Gabrielle suggested asking you...
Absolutely! I've even beta'd het and femslash for friends and I don't really like them.
HEE!!! Xander is my favourite character. Most of my noms have been for Xander characterisation. I aspire to be as good as Suki at Xander. He's a darling! Okay, maybe not such a darling in 'Hell's Bells'. *g*
Wanna email? I'm at kittypoker1 @ gmail dot com *smooch*
I have an amazing number of friends that are huge Xander fans considering how much I don't like him. Although he's not among the absolutely won't read list...actually very few are things are, with running SoGA I can't be too picky about what I'll read.
And thanks for the email...mine is...uh...

Sorry, we are in the middle of moving and I'm losing my old email so I had to remember what I decided to do about that.
