Anyway, let's talk. I'd like to talk to someone. <3
Also, I'll just leave this here, because everyone needs to read it: [link]
It is, without a doubt, THE most adorable fic I've ever read in my entire life. Not even kidding.


TW: Five Reasonsi. He lost one of his hands.TW: Five Reasons
Jack's had that hand in a jar sitting on his desk ever since Ianto joined Torchwood Three. It's never seemed out of place with everything else they have lying around (Torchwood Three is much more lax about what happens to alien technology than Torchwood One was, Ianto notices), but sometimes, when Jack thinks no one is around, he strokes it. Ianto never asks, and it's not as if he really cares, anyway.
But, after the incident with Carys, he does ask.
Most nights, it's just Ianto and Jack at the Hub. The others go home, go back to their ordinary lives, and Ianto stays and pic


APH: Having A Tea Party"Arthur, I don't want any of your tea."APH: Having A Tea Party
"Stop being so troublesome, Alfred. It's already been shipped, and you know there's no way to return it."
"But--"
"No buts. Besides, I even lowered the tax, just like you wanted me to. You're getting this tea cheaper than you could get it anywhere else."
"But that's not the point!"
"Then what, pray tell, is the point?"
"The point is that I should be able to buy tea from somewhere else if I wanted to! Besides, I know you're just going to raise the price again."
"Don't be such a twat, Alfred," Arthur says, rolling h
Imagine a world hundreds of years from now where slavery is common. People are taken from their homes by aliens (atm unnamed) and sold to the upper classes as slaves. People are under the impression that it's a fair business -- everyone is a possible slave, and so people live in fear, but get on with their lives. However, the system is corrupt, and what the higher-ups of the world decided with the aliens years and years ago was that the aliens could take only the poor and homeless. Middle class if they had to, but never -- NEVER the upper classes.
Edie Simon is a fifteen-year-old girl with a fifteen-year-old girl life: an annoying (but lovable) little sister named Dot and an equally annoying (but nowhere near lovable) older brother, Greg. Then, Dot gets taken. Edie's parents are heartbroken, but have to get on with their lives. After all, there's no help for Dot now. Edie doesn't think so. (Greg is determined to side with their parents, even if he knows he'll end up siding with Edie in the end). Edie meets her town's friendly hobo, Jonathon Zesch, who knows more about what's going on and the corruptness in the government than any civilian should, and he promises he knows how to get her sister back. She believes him and sets up weekly meetings and Greg comes along to make sure Jonathon won't rape her or get her addicted to crack or anything. They proceed to have adventures.
I'm thinking a trilogy -- each one in a different main's point of view. The first one is about getting Dot back and the beginning of the war between the people and the government, from Edie's pov. The second is about the war mostly and from Greg's pov. The third is about life after the war (aka: I haven't decided yet) and from Jonathon's pov.
whaddya think?
Oh, that's awesome! Very creative. I'm excited to read it. ^.^ Do you have the characters' personalities all figured out yet, too?
A trilogy would be good for getting all the words, if you end up having trouble with that. And POV switches are fun!
Why thank you! I'm exited to write it; I've been writing snippets in class. I have basic personalities figured out, but nothing too deep, atm.
Edie:
-- sarcastic
-- introverted
-- easily impacted
-- easily persuaded
Greg:
-- amused
-- not too serious about much of anything
-- kind of just skating by
-- prefers bigger crowds that he can meet people in and get lost in
Jonathon:
-- intelligent
-- outspoken
-- stands his ground
-- not into being a parent
Yeah, my current word goal is 45,000. That's if I have all the time I think I will to work on it. And my mom brought up the trilogy idea and I thought "HEY! I have THREE main characters...WHY NOT?!" XD
