shapinglightHi again.
I haven't really posted since Monday. Am still deep in the RL stuff that's made me largely absent from LJ this week. Not to mention my hands hurt like the b*****y. Every time I log into my email inbox I feel a horrible wave of guilt at how full it is. All these unanswered comments! I've never not answered comments.
This time, however, I think I may have to -partly because I'm about to go away for the weekend and am not back till Monday, partly because a lot of those unanswered comments are to do with Torchwood: Children of Earth and are in answer to posts I made during watching the series. And since TW: CoE is over and we all know what happened (don't we?), it seems a bit redundant to answer comments speculating about what's going to happen on Day 5, or whatever.
More behind cut with vague spoilers for TW: CoE
I will still try and answer comments directed at me from my post about Day 5 when I get back next week. They were interesting, plus I'm still digesting the series myself and thinking about it, though very aware that in the intervening week most of you have talked yourselves out and moved on to other things. I haven't changed my mind about Jack, btw. I still don't feel sorry for him. I haven't changed my mind about TW: CoE either. I think it was brilliant and disturbing, and what I always hoped TW would be and which it never was until now (ie. sci fi for grownups). Not that I didn't enjoy some of the silliness in season 2, and you all know I loved Captain John - and sadly, I can see all too well that if TW does come back, its very success in this darker Quatermass-like incarnation very likely means that the BBC will opt for a similar format and feel, and there'll be no place for larger than life characters like John Hart.
Be that as it may, TW: CoE has given me a Jack/John plot bunny, which I hope to write (the first time I've managed to think of an idea for a non-Buffyverse fic longer than a drabble). I should also be thinking about my story for my own ficathon - the Darla one - but have to say, I'm currently finding it very difficult to think about fandom stuff for long. I hope I can get back to it at some point soon.
See you all next week, and please link me if you've written anything or seen anything on LJ you think I might be interested in. I feel like I've lost touch, and I don't like it.
