I feel the need to announce that as a birthday present, Doctor Who has made episodes available on Itunes (the US version, don't know about UK)

Best birthday present ever...

I know this is a TW comm, but it isn't like they don't crossover. Season 4 is not up yet, but I'm hoping it will be around the time season 4 finishes in the US

Old Ghosts

Super short flash fiction written, would you believe it, as a break from writing sci-fi horror stories for a magazine. Just wondered whether it's any good.

Spending a Penny

I always love train travel. Sitting by the window, watching the World slip by without a care. Looking down I see something bright on the floor. What is it? Bending down I spy a penny, shiny and well used. I pick it up and turn it over in my fingers. Gosh! It was minted twenty years ago. As the trees and countryside slip on by, I begin to wonder what travels this penny has had.
I begin to daydream. A fresh new penny straight from the bank. First in a man’s change from a newspaper, then on to his son as pocket money. Treasured for a week it goes out to the shops, and the son agonises over what sweets to buy. I bet it bought a lot back then.
Back to the bank at the end of the week, the penny does not stay there long, onwards out with money withdrawn.
“Got change for ten pence? The machine wants exact change,” says a colleague, and out comes the penny with nine others before being pressed into a slot and swapped for chocolate.
Later on a collection tin, rattling on a street corner takes the penny away. From there it is a short hop to the pocket of a worker, heading back overseas from a stay in the city. What a journey to make; well travelled the penny jets through the night. Jangling in a pocket it meets with dollars and rupees. In a jar in far-flung lands it eventually sits, waiting a time when some-one will take it home. Watching lizards and mosquitoes climbing the glass.
Back on a plane, heading home again now. Via New York and Detroit, listening to the bustle of the big Apple through the fabric of cheap jeans. Then on to Heathrow, and becomes change at long last for a cup of hot coffee.
On familiar ground the penny eventually finds its way to a payphone slot and drops at the pips for a long distance call to be made. Lovers talk, and the penny is on its way.
Back to the bank, several more times. Through pockets of people of all shapes and sizes to be awarded as change when a pound pays for ninety-nine pence, then on again in exact change and away.
Finally back to a ticket window on a station somewhere.
“Return to Swindon.”
And the in the change the penny is away again. Dropped by clumsy hands in the motion from the station, it’s only a penny and it is left on the floor until I come along.
“Anything from the trolley?” asks a voice.
I see a chocolate bar, and with other coins from my pocket the penny is on its way. Spent you.

I hate to do this!!
Right, well, anyone who is readig my series "Far from home" I APOLOGISE! But i'm moving house, to a non existant house with non existand internet. Basically I'm homeless from tomorrow meaning I can't post the next part of "far from home" because it's not going to be finished for another day, and the internet is cancelled today and i'm supposed to be helping take a part a bed instead of this.
I'll write as much as I can of the fic and then post it when I get the internet AND A HOUSE.

Really sorry,
Jack

Title: Realization 1/?
Author: Ace

Rating: NC-17 bits, but this chapter PG13
Warning:Torture (later chapters),Rape (later chapters), Angsty goodness DARK THEMES IN LATER CHAPTERS

After realizing that my last short was woefully under prepared, I went over it with a fine toothed comb, and greatly expanded it. Here it is after it's makeover.

Title: What's in a Name

By queenweevil
Jack/ Ianto, Ianto/Lisa, Ianto/OC
Rating: Varies by chapter, PG13 usually
Summary: Ianto’s doubts cause him to make a drastic decision. Can Jack convince him to try again? First several chapters follow Ianto’s thoughts through Series 1 and 2 (with some “behind the scenes” moments); later chapters go AU after Series 2.

Chapter 1
Chapter 2

And because Livejournal thinks my chapters are too long, Chapter 3 is divided into 2 parts:

Chapter 3A
Chapter 3B

So I'm writing a short story, which I hope I can extend into a novel and although I actually like what I have written so far (about 4 pages), I realized that my story lacks tension. It's basically the development of a couple of characters and a description of their friendship, but it does not have an action or event that causes the protagonist/antagonist to change or question something in their lives. I have been trying to think some some decisive action or turn of events that would invoke this tension, but I can't come up with anything substantial. If you have time to read this (I only posted about a page), let me know what your thoughts are regarding some possible tension/ events in the plot.

Here it is:

Her phone read 2:10am. Exactly five hours and twenty minutes before she would climb down from her cheaply made bunk bed and dress in the black light of darkness, trying hard not to make any noise when
shutting drawers and doors, keeping her roommate absorbed in her REM cycle and head out to Contemporary Social Problems, her 8am class. But instead of slumbering peacefully through the early morning hours, dreaming of cute men and hot rendezvous, her hand was running across the top of her nightstand searching for the button that would silence the annoyingly cheery ring tone that was piercing the soft silence. Glancing at the caller id, Ellie sighed and rolled her eyes. It was April. Of course it was. Who else would be calling her on a Wednesday morning? It certainly wasn’t a drunk dial from a tipsy friend. April. How does one even begin to describe the pitiful, weak woman that made up April? Lacking any resolve, determination or strength of her own she sucked off of the power the people around her welded. She would be classified as a high maintenance friend, requiring careful attention, long periods of time and the patience of a Sunday churchgoer. Most friends didn’t have the time or desire to deal with her childlike attitude to life. She was either teeming with love or suffering from despair from her “simply perfect” boyfriend. Perfection is not simple. It is backbreaking, and causes panic attacks and obsessive compulsive behaviors, like those crazy aunts that insist on washing their hands every hour on the hour and apply bright mauve lipstick with the fervor of a single woman in her forties searching for a boyfriend. Coincidentally, although April’s boyfriend, Jared, was perfect they fought almost every week. These fights weren’t just disagreements that involved frustration and a truce the next day; they were all out wars. Screaming matches that, more than once, involved shoving and always included screaming. The passion they displayed when arguing was incredibly powerful. Each one fought like a Roman solider, never surrendering, always ready to attack. What exactly did they fight about? At the end, when their throats were hoarse from screaming, their heads weary with contemplating horrible curses and their chests deprived of breath, they often couldn’t remember what the original fight was about. It seemed to start with a small incident, like Jared casually answering an email from an ex girlfriend, to Jared not being committed enough to the relationship. They were very practical though- instead of having multiple small fights and a few big ones, they saved the time and combined them all into one epic battle that took no prisoners, spared no punches.

I see that from these boys shall men of nothing
Stature by seedy shifting,
or lame the air with leaping from its heats;
There from their hearts the dogdayed pulse
Of love and light bursts in their throats.
O see the pulse of summer in the ice.
