Oh my god, I loved this so much. Joshua Malina’s delivery just kills me.
YES SHE FUCKING SHOULD HAVE OMG.
SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUCKING PERFECT AND HER AND IANTO AND JACK WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST POLYAMOUROUS THREESOME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn straigh. Martha, Ianto, and Jack would have torn up that place.
I thought this at first too, but then I got scared that they would kill her off… and I couldn’t have that.
I still think both Martha & Mickey should have joined Torchwood after the end of S4 Who/S2 TW. C’mon…a doctor and a computer whiz. COME ON.
I totally rejected the reality of COE and substituted it with my own. Mickey and Martha def joined Torchwood in Club Wales-verse and the third (unfinished, probably forever) Club Wales story was supposed to be about integrating them into the team. Sort of. I mean, it’s Club Wales, so mostly it was about Ianto and Gwen having shenanigans in Scotland with Torchwood Two, but the impetus is so that Jack can bond with Mickey and Martha. Also, there was going to be time travel and Jack and Nine and Rose in Scotland and Gwen was pregnant and there was easily at least six thousand words of world-buliding just about the structure of the Torchwood Institute pre-Canary Wharf.
Dammit, now I’m just sad that it’s not finished and probably never will be.
Word. It is no coincidence that both of the Torchwood big bang fics I wrote post-S2 pulled both Martha and Mickey into Torchwood. Because WTF CoE.
And I’m also sad about unfinished fics abandoned when that fandom turned sour. Damnit.

I walk into a room, and for this industry, I’m impossibly tall. When they find it hard to pair you up with the opposite sex, then what’s left for a woman? Either you’re the ball-buster or the not-so-attractive girlfriend standing by the lead. I mean, traditionally not so attractive. Because you have your starlets and then you have their best friends who are these character actresses. When you fall within the cracks, you thank God for sci-fi, because they’ll give you a gun, and they’ll say, ‘Go over there and conquer that world. You kick some ass, girl!’
Running off to work, but this is just to say—
Queen’s Gambit, chapter 7: Inception.
In which the inception of Colonel William Stryker goes about as smoothly as you’d expect.
Dammit, Joss. I shipped those two characters.
An open note to readers of fanfic
Sometimes I stare at the computer screen when the words don’t want to come and I think, “Fuck, who am I kidding? This is terrible writing, and this story is shit, and no one cares, anyway.” And I close the window and go do something else.
But every now and then I get an amazing, heartfelt, beautiful comment from someone who loved something I wrote, and it reminds me that, at least for that one person, I did write something worthwhile. And so I open the window again and I write one sentence, and then another, and then I start to find my way again.
So on behalf of all fanfic writers everywhere, I want to say thank you, thank you so much, to all of the readers who take the time to leave a comment and tell us that something we wrote mattered to you, that it brightened your day or made you laugh or cry or get horny or whatever.
Please don’t think we’re ever bothered by your comment, or that we don’t want to hear it, or that what you have to say isn’t important enough. It means so, so much. And on some days, it’s what keeps us going.
I’m going to echo this and add that while I appreciate every comment and take it to heart, even if it just says, “This was great!” sometimes real life gets in the way of my responding to comments. And if I don’t respond, it doesn’t mean that I don’t care or don’t appreciate it—seriously, comments make my day. Kudos are nice and I appreciate those as well, but the advent of Kudos mean that comments are rarer and that much more treasured for it.
