So, anyone else would use one of the million and one aliens that already exist in the Doctor Who universe for this particular story I'm writing. I, on the other hand, am insane and have to go and create a whole new alien. The existence of which I can blame on Time Agents. No, seriously. I'm a bit of a nut, have you noticed?

At least I'm actually liking the story, even with all the trouble I've been having with it, and when I finish this one scene I can have the first chapter up. (Yes, I'm writing a chaptered fic - God help me.) I am concerned that it's turning out a lot less shippy than any other fic in this entire ficathon. And, I mean, there is definite Rose/Jack in there, but the whole thing is... really quite gen. It's mostly about the banter and the running from/after dangerous aliens, and the tormenting Torchwood!Jack and the thoroughly confusing TeamTARDIS!Jack, and somewhere in there, Rose and Jack are adorable together. They did ask for Torchwood and "a day in the life". SO.

Evie and I did not get a fish yesterday like we planned to. We meant to, went to the pet store and everything... and then things happened. I'm not at liberty to tell you what things happened just yet, but suffice to say that they did. You'll get the story eventually, I promise, just... not yet.

But yes. I'm going to finish this chapter and find a couple people to read it before I post it (anyone who wants to, let me know...), make icons for [livejournal.com profile] dw_icontest... do something else I've now forgotten... post some people into the Rift, make that Rift journal thing (it's not a new character, I swear! It's a... modly... thing)... Thankfully, I am in a productive mood and actually think I can get this all accomplished in relatively short order. Feel free to ask randomly about my progress throughout the day and smack me if I haven't done anything.
