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?

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!')

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.

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!'
