So I'm thinking about MAYBE getting back into writing or vidding (although I likely don't have the time), but the question is... Torchwood or Harry Potter?

"The Dead Line" just made me go all warm and fuzzy Jack/Ianto fangirl, but a certain somebody (you know who you are) got me back into HP while I was rereading the fic "Mirror of Maybe" and then there's also the vid trailer "Harry Potter and the Eighth Horcrux" (http://aliasjanedoe.livejournal.com/2226.html) and like oh my god, I'm shipping horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Ginny inside my head now because I'm just twisted like that and somebody NEEDS to adopt that plot bunny who has time on their hands to write an epic.

But anyway, I'm torn, too many fandoms, not enough time.

I'm making this post for anybody else like me who didn't know about the radio play "The Dead Line." OMG!! How did I not know about this? It's like a really (really really really) great fic read by the actors, and Ianto's talk to Jack was just awwwwwww. It was exactly what I've wanted him to say on the show. Spot on, brilliant, and huge huge thanks to everybody involved in making it. So everybody go listen, because SQUEEEE! Now if only they would film it.

First off, I'm so sorry to do this, and part of me really doesn't want to, but it isn't fair of me to just leave you all hanging either. I'm abandoning "They Come in Pairs."

I hate doing so, because I love you guys (burning pitchforks and threats to hold your cats hostage and all - although wouldn't that work better if you were to kidnap *my* cat?). I'm not sure how I'll survive without fandom and writing.

No, this isn't about my writers block and ADD. I've stopped trying to treat that. Which seriously, nobody do that!! You risk putting yourself into serious depression and just don't! I stopped because I don't have medical insurance and recently broke my toe which is all the extra expense I can handle, and because I know I can deal with things without treatment. I did not make this decision because it was fracking with my ability to write, and I would not advise anybody do so for that reason.

So why am I calling it quits on the fic? Because I'm working three jobs currently (one full time and two part), so I literally do not have the time to write. This isn't likely to change until the end of the year. And maybe it's for the best that I don't, because the dark place TCIP was headed probably isn't the healthiest place for me to go right now anyway.

I'm still 100% Torchwood fangirl, just an out of loop one. And OMG delayed SQUEE about jealous Ianto in the last Dr Who ep and Jack's reply. Is it just me, or was that almost like monogamy from JACK??!! Or well, as close as is possible with him. That was so cute. Although where was the much needed and awaited Jack/Rose/Doctor talk?? She didn't know about Jack, and and and... Just AHHHHH! Where was *that* discussion?! Where?? And I wanted more with Sarah-Jane's part in the ep also. And for a ridiculously delayed WTF? Did the Doctor totally out the Master in that little Children in Need clip? I just about fell out of my chair. Maybe I took that beard/wife comment the wrong way, but was it seriously just me? Okay, rant over. No wait, the Medusa Cascade - I so thought that was building up to something bigger, something that had to do with the Doctor's name. Right, now I'm actually done. But I needed that, because all work and no play makes Jane a dull girl.

Anyway, thought you guys who are actually watching my journal deserved to hear from me and know what's up.

First off, this isn't actually a real fic, just my attempt to get over writer's block so that I can continue with "They Come in Pairs" before people hunt me down and kill me. That said, this story basically sucks, has no real plot, and no actual ending. Not beta'd either. It's just an exercise in aimlessly writing. You all have been warned.

Second off, this came about because while I was trying to convince my brain that, yes, it does still want to write (I finally decided to treat my ADHD because it's interfering with my job, and now I've completely lost my flow), my muse reminded me that I'd told somebody once upon a time that I was game for some Jack/Ianto chair fic. I'm sure this is NOT what they had in mind. I also had a friend complaining that while she read a lot of stories that mention safe words, she's never come across a fic where one was actually used. I'm sure this is also NOT what she meant either.

This post is just to let everybody know that I've put "They Come in Pairs" on hold.

I have a rough outline of the story, and in the next part there's an OC that had decided her name was Tanya (yes, my characters seem to choose their own names, it just happens) but I was still without a last until Sunday. Some people turn to the phone book, I turn to the movie posters on my walls. My character picked one off a poster for "The Patriot." Ledger. When this character is introduced in the story, she's already dead.

So the fic is on hiatus while I decide whether I should change the name or change the outline. And while I'm just generally depressed.
