Ohh love the artwork this time! WHEE!!!!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I copied the Needles from a piece of artwork.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I would not have known! Shhh! :)

Oh man why do I have to work, I would rather just sit and read.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAHAHAH AWESOME.

[eldarwannabe.livejournal.com]

So, apparently Andy is the Ralph Dibny (http://www.pop-cult.net/Wikitainment/index.php/Elongated_Man#Powers) of Wales? Hee.

Jack on Match.com is an image that might last a while. Can you imagine him putting together his profile? "CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS!!!/SINGLE/INTERESTED IN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT! :D"

Haha. Lois Sparknotes'ed the Bible.

DON'T GO ON THE DATE JACK. DON'T DO IT. DON'T-ARGH! YOU LET HIM DO IT! Oh, I can't watch.

(Wait, so that's it for actual-ghost-thing-Ianto? With no real explanation? Bye...o/)

I hope you enjoy your hiatus. I'll just sit here calmly and not go crazy at all. *Clutches fiercely.* Dooooon't goooooo!

YAY RALPH DIBNEY! I LOVE YOU, SUE!

Oh come on, you loved Ghost Ianto and Jack's date! Not Ianto! You know! Whatevs!

Haahahahah Jack has a Twitter.

[eldarwannabe.livejournal.com]

YOU SPENT A WHILE ON THAT NOSE TWITCHING! I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO START SOLVING MYSTERIES AND CRASH DEBUTANTE PARTIES.

I will miss Ghost-something-Ianto and his witty comments in Jack's head. And sometimes Gwen's. Not-really-Ianto made me sad and a little awed at how you managed to pull him/her/IDK off. And Ghost Machine Ianto was melancholy and hilarious. Sometimes at the same time. (It's astonishing how much Ianto you've managed in this story. I may have been using that to try and push some people to read it...)

BUT THAT DATE. THAT DATE WAS DOOMED TO FAILURE. THAT DATE WAS A VERY BAD IDEA. THAT DATE. WHEN JACK FIRST MENTIONED I WAS D:

I would follow Jack on Twitter. >.>

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahah yeah, I wanted Ianto in it, but not really, you know? And I thought maybe if Ianto was given a proper memorial, like if we got to see some grief, etc, but without it going overboard, that it could be believable but good. A transition. Yeah?

THAT DATE WAS AWESOME FOIE GRAS WITH GIG GASTRIQUE AND CRANBERRY FOAM.

Oh, the transition time was perfect. Except now I don't want him to goooo.

THE DELICIOUS FOOD IS NOT THE POINT. THE BAD-IDEANESS IS THE POINT. FOR A TIME TRAVELER, JACK IS NOT SO GOOD AT THINKING AHEAD.

*is ded from laughter*

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

JACK HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD AT THINKING AHEAD. HE IS AHEAD. AND LIKES TO GET HEAD.

[eldarwannabe.livejournal.com]

BA-DUM TISH

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

TISH NEVER GAVE HIM HEAD.

WELL, WE DID SKIP A LOT OF THAT YEAR ON THE VALIANT.

[eldarwannabe.livejournal.com]

ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

AND PROBABLY DID.

AND THEN DIDN'T.

OR SOMETHING.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

H/C, MAN.

[eldarwannabe.livejournal.com]

IF THERE IS FIC, IT HAPPENED.

AND YOU KNOW THERE'S FIC.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

isn't that the 34th law of the internet?

[eldarwannabe.livejournal.com]

Well, if porn=fic, then yes. Which it frequently does.

(Oh god the google results on that)

Just finished reading this, it's wonderful. Though my flailing is mostly, "OMG, the Doctor!!!"

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAHAHA WHAT A GREAT USE OF A CROSSOVER.

I was going to make it tom baker, but I decided to leave it neutral.

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Ah, see I assumed that it was Ten or later. I thought an earlier Doctor would be all, "Ghosts! Must poke about and get into trouble and maybe eventually save the day." Whereas Ten (or a Doctor who had been Ten) would have just thought, "Jack's made a mess again, I'll come back once he's sorted it."
