Mmmph. Well, that was a valiant attempt to get to sleep before fuck o'clock in the morning. Failed, but valiant nonetheless. (Go to bed at twelve; wake up at three-thirty. So it goes.)

Torchwood Fic: Scrapings

Fandom: Torchwood
Title: Scrapings
Author: Lily
Characters: Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness
Rating: R-ish, mostly for language and by dint of being a Torchwood fic.
Spoilers: Cyberwoman
Warnings: See rating; see characters. See a sad lack of actual slash - and really, there should be a category for 'gen with subtext,' or 'this was going to be slash, but the muses had other ideas.'
Summary: In the aftermath of "Cyberwoman," there's just one immediate mission.
Word Count: 2,507
Disclaimer: Torchwood belongs to the BBC, though if they were willing to pay me a subsidy for letting the characters live in my head, let's just say I won't get upset.

( Scrapings )

(no subject)

I've decided I'm not actually going to be doing NaNoWriMo this year. Mostly because after last year's, it took me at least several months to look at the story and characters I'd been working with, without puking.

However, I've decided to try something similar. Would it be possible for me to produce 50,000 words of fic, by the end of November? Since I'm not the fastest of writers, I'm even giving myself a leg up and including fic written before November, provided they're in the current fandom.

The count so far:

"In the Absence" - 3,483
"Important if True" - 1,578
"Two-way Street" - 312
"Aliens" - 208
"Before the Dawn" - 1,917
"Scrapings" - 2,507

Plus unfinished bits and bobs, which I won't be counting just yet.

Total: 10,005/50,000 words

Verdict: Meeting goal possible but unlikely. Oh well.

Watching the Pilot of House, MD

Two observations so far:

No one is ever putting me in a fucking MRI. Ever.

Vicodin should not be swallowed dry. Watching House do so makes my throat hurt in sympathy.

I like House. Still learning everyone else's names. The one played by Jesse Spencer has a cute accent.
