Day of the fangirl!

[hackthis_archive]

I had all these links I'd saved up to share with you all, but then I was like whatever, what I rilly rilly want is to talk about how awesome you all are. For example: last week I mentioned that what I rilly rilly wanted for my birthday (43 days and counting - shame what?) was a Peter/Nathan vid to Leona Naess' Charm Attack.

Dude. If I knew I could get whatever I asked for, I assure you, Adrian Pasdar would've been on my doorstep a long time ago. And a John Barrowman, but more on that in a minute, because I'm getting all crazy excited.

heidi8 saw my left-field request, and she did it. She made me the vid I'd always seen in my mind's eye when I was listening to that song during my runs. It's not just Nathan/Peter, it's Nathan/Heidi and Nathan/Niki and you know, IT'S NATHAN. Imagine the ultimate Nathan wank-fantasy vid, and you have 'Charm Attack'.

Oh, Nathan, you are SO money, baby and I am so glad it's Monday.

Speaking of awesome fangirls, many many many moons ago -- some of y'all probably had never even heard of fandom then -- ethrosdemon tried to get me to watch this show called Torchwood, to which my reply was something like, "Ew, no." Us being us, I should've just caved.

A few months ago, serialkarma exclaimed OMG TORCHWOOD > peanut butter! To which I was like, whatever... um, okay, send me DVDs. Alas, her DVDs did not work on my various gizmotry. Nobody was sadder than me, and I know this because I wouldn't shut up about it. By this time Torchwood was airing in the states and I had met Captain Jack Hotass (TM) and all I could do was burninate and graffiti, "Why didn't anybody TELL ME?"

To make a long story short (too late), chicklet_girl came to my rescue, and uh, oh, baby. Jack/Jack is my new OTP. My first Jack/Ianto fic shall be called 'Twelve Uses for a Stopwatch According to Jack Harkness & Ianto Jones.' And I want to sleep with everybody, even when they are foolywang (TM YBF), because Hotass Overcomes All. (Maybe that will be story #2)

So, you know, I know fandom's been acting the fool as of late for a lot of people, but I've got to tell you, sometimes, sometimes it's a damn fine place to be and each and everyone of you contributes to that. So, pay it forward to someone else, and one day it'll come back to you. pee ess: (scribblinlenore, pron is on the way, hang tight!)


*Ooooh, and Chuck is on tonight too! Rock! Where are the Torchwood icons kept, people?

Jack/Jack is THE OTP baby! I wanted so bad to say something, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise! Because it is just so delightful, n'est-ce pas?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I wish you could have seen my face. It was like Christmas and my birthday and St. Paddy's Day all together. Rewind is an AWESOME thing. I have *ideas*. Ideas about time travel abuse. About Jack going back to see Jack. About AU's. I want Jack/Jack forEVA. Talk to me, baby, how would you like to see this work out? What's your dream story here. I mean apart from Jack and Jack running Torchwood forever and raising their knucklehead kids, because face it, right now Jack is a single parent.

(When Jack laced his fingers with Jack's I might've died a little bit).

oh, I KNOW. Up til then I hadn't been sure they were really going to go there and i was all \O/.

As for the rest, um, must get food in stomach. Will get back to you.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

Yay, pron is on the way! You'll have to let me know what you'd like for your b-day, doll.

Also, isn't Torchwood the yummiest? Mmmm. Captain Jack. I'm so thrilled you're writing it!!!

Jack was designed for pron. Often and with frequent usage. Nobody that hot should be sad, ever. Of course I feel the same way about Adrian Pasdar Nathan so...

torch_wood has all the comms listed, not to mention torchwood_three, which is the daily fandom newsletter.

This show is just made for iconning, really it is. and I still need t-shirts with Ianto quotes on them, such as 'Lots of things you can do with a stopwatch' and 'of course, bananas are far more interesting'.

Now, if only we can steal Stephen Moffatt from Dr Who and make sure that Jack actually gets a sex scene in series 2, *then* we'll be happy. (as most of us have pointed out 'Barrowman, you promised us nekkidness in Torchwood! You reneged! We want nekkidness, not just snogging really, really pretty men!')

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ooooh fun. Good lord. There are 3000 members at torch_wood? Okay, that's a little daunting. I confess, I am no Doctor Who fan, so any references that aren't direct episodes go right over my head. In short, I haven't the foggiest idea who Stephan Moffatt is, but if he's a Dr Who writer, I am not impressed with that show at all.

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

it's all obsessively tagged, plus you can filter for just discussion or fannish content.

Stephen invented Jack. He wrote the WW2 eps Jack first appeared in, then for later Dr Who, he wrote the Madame De Pompadour ep and the blind statues ep - he normally only writes one ep per season, and his are normally the ones that the press go 'oooo, ooo, it's a Stephen Moffat episode! prepare to hide behind the sofa and scream in terror!'

The Jack/Jack kiss is one of the best kisses ever. I smile just thinking about it. Also, you are insanely adorable when you're all fandom happy.

And if hypothetically speaking I was to be writing you crack for your birthday, what variety of crack would you be wanting.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The Jack/Jack kiss is one of the best kisses ever. I smile just thinking about it. Also, you are insanely adorable when you're all fandom happy.

I died a little bit when I saw that. And then I rewound and watched it again. And again. What? We're never gonna get that on Heroes, we've already gotten as close as we're gonna get -- and I love you for it, Adrian!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I would like to propose that John Barrowman and Adrian Pasdar kissing would be so hot that it would in fact destroy the universe with its hotness, but no one would actually notice the whole universe ending thing because they would be so transfixed by the insane hotness that they were witnessing.

I would also like to suggest that if one were so inclined, both John and Adrian have been around for a while and are close to the same age, so it would totally be possible to write pre-Natalie John Barrowman/Adrian Pasdar rps.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*blinks* *blinks more* How are you going to -- it's -- *narrows eyes* EVIL. You are pure evil.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

You are pure evil.
Only on Mondays. On other days I'm only slightly evil. But seriously, Barrowman can get Pasdar in a kilt! How awesome is that?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of then working on some movie -- which I will make up because this is what ethrosdemon and I do, if it doesn't exist we make it up -- and there's kissing on set. And Lots of Adrian poking John in the ribs because John is very tall and Adrian is not. Adrian is hot, but he is not tall. He's got this amazing jawline though and he looks *amazing* in a kilt. Illegally hot. John has his life parnter of course, but John is also John and if it has a pulse, he'll flirt with it, which is probably why Adrian just laughs it off when John starts feeling up his thighs under the kilt. They're talking to the director, going over script notes for todays scenes. John and the director are sitting and Adrian's standing next to John and John's blatantly feeling his thighs, his hands going up higher and higher and eventually the director is like, "Guys, get a room!"

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. Oh god, yes. DO IT NOW!!!!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*cocks head to the side* You seem so excited. I can't imagine why...


Adrian's been acting for a while now. He knows how other actors can be. He's seen the egos and the breakdowns and diva behaviour that make his teeth hurt. He's not really into any of that. He has his friends and they keep him grounded. Some of them are in the industry, but a lot aren't, because as much as he loves acting and it's something he's good at, it's not his life. He's been the Next Up and Coming Thing for the last ten years, that can make anyone jaded, so working with The John Barrowman doesn't impress him. He can appreciate John's talent. And John's height. And his smile and the way his eyes crinkle around the edges when he's really happy about something, but Adrian knows better. He's sexually flexible to appreciate a good-looking person when he meets them, but John lives a different life. He lives in London, with his partner, doing his musicals and has his things and Adrian doesn't need any of that. He likes hearing John sing though. It's sort of strange knowing John's background to hear him singing The Doors 'Light My Fire' to the lighting crew though, but he likes it, and judging by the crew's applause, they *love* it.

*has been rendered speechless with joy*

Here are some random John Barrowman pics in place of words:

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I used to do a lot of RPS back in the day. Or last month. Before everybody got all loved up, feh. I digress. That wet picture is from some soft porn isn't it? I know it is.

The idea behind Last of the Great Navigators as it was pitched to Adrian was that it was less science fiction and more a study of the human condition. Ari said it was about love and sex and motorcycles and chess and all that shit that Adrian loved. Apparently that's not quite true, but Adrian should know better by now than to think Ari even knows how to spell 'truth.'

He doesn't know what to think about a crew of astronauts who come back to earth to find out there's no earth left. Ari said it had blockbuster all over it. It was directed by George Clooney how could it lose. He said the gay sex was Adrian's route straight to the Oscars. Or at least Sundance. Adrian just rolled his eyes. And the thing is, Adrian doesn't mind the gay or the sex, it's not like John's hard on the eyes. Or the hands. Adrian's digressing. But he's not happy about something. He's not sure what. It could be that George is way far too inside John's space though. When Adrian directs his own film he's going to make rules that only the actors are allowed to grope each other.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

I love you so much right now it's almost painful. Are you really going to write this story? Because if you do...I....my adoration can not be textually rendered. I will, instead, take a page from sparky's book and provide offerings of Barrowman.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me? You are not talking about a happy, wonderful, perfect reality of total awesomeness where Ari is Adrian's agent and he's in a gay science fiction movie with john barrowman directed by George Clooney? Because that would be so perfect and so awesome that all realities would collapse on each other in a desperate attempt to make this one perfect reality somehow exist.

In other words, more please?

I have decided that I want to give up my current reality and move into your fantasy-land. Can we make that happen somehow?

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

You are more than welcome. The best way to get here is a bit of sleep deprivation combined with a breakfast of M&Ms and Diet Coke, add a couple shots of the alcohol of your choice, spin around three time counter-clockwise, and then if you did it correctly you should be happy happy fun fun crack land.

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

:cough: should we kill you further by quoting from the behind the scenes snippets they do for Torchwood Confidential where Matt Rippy (original 40s Jack) and John talk about the fact that John refused to rehearse the kiss so that when the time came for filming, it'd just... go where it would go and thus look more natural?

See entire fandom go :THUD:

And THIS shit is the best new I've gotten today. What a fantastic way to start a new week. It's about time you saw the light and accepted that Torchwood is the best thing since gay porn. It's far from perfect, but I honestly couldn't care less, because when it's on it's magical.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I feel so elated. I was going to say cheated, but, uh yeah, I only have myself to blame for being so late. When I finally started watching the show all I could think was, "GLORY BE! PRAISE THE HOTASS!"

It's about time you saw the light and accepted that Torchwood is the best thing since gay porn.

Better dialogue than gay porn really.

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

Hotass Overcomes All. That's pretty much the most accurate description of TW ever. I will overlook so many flaws in that show as long as it gives me weekly doses of Jack Harkness.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am sure there are dozens of flaws I just could find any of them because my hormones were too busy shrieking WANT! NOW! WANTNOW!

[moonystone.livejournal.com]

OMG Torchwood! I finished watching the series today - so hard to stop when you have it on DVD... And ye gods, the hotness, the dancing, the kisses!

I started collecting some icons, would someone please point me in the direction of some Jack/Jack or Jack/Ianto porn? Pretty please with nekkid butt on top?

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

Finally I can use this icon over here! (I think it's a snap of between-takes clowning? from the UK DVD extras?) Also, Jack is the ultimate Little Black Dress of fandom because he travels through time. HE CAN BE ANYWHERE AND INTERACT WITH FUCK ANYONE AND IT WILL BE PLAUSIBLE. *flails*

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

Also, Matt Rippy's headshot has been the object of my perusal for much long time.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

When that episode started on my screen I started txting serialkarma like a demon. It basically consisted of OMG! and Jack/Jack 4eva. I mean the love. The desire. Oh, Jack. Oh, other Jack. *sighs blissfully*

[jersey-tomato.livejournal.com]

have you heard of a show called Moonlight? there is wonderful gay hotness between the star (alex o'loughlin) and his friend (jason dohring) of course the lead is supposed to be in love with the spunky blond girl, but I know his true feelings.

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

You're getting into Torchwood! Yay!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I love your comments on Torchwood because they're pretty much everybody's comments on Torchwood. OMG SEX NOW PLS.

[meret.livejournal.com]

'Twelve Uses for a Stopwatch According to Jack Harkness & Ianto Jones.'

I don't normally read TW fic, but for this I'd definitely make an exception. :)

Do you watch Doctor Who?
