well, THAT was quick.

So I woke up this morning after maybe 4.5 hours of sleep, couldn't fall back asleep, couldn't stop thinking about CoE, and then abruptly jumped out of bed and grabbed my notebook.

I already have a rough plot outline for the fix-it fic -- more importantly, I know what the fix is, and how it's going to play out. Not sure how long the fic will wind up being -- hopefully not BigBang length, but let's face it, canon has not left us an easy hole to dig our way out of, and I vastly prefer a tight, well-paced plot over a lot of handwaving and cheap resolution. I will drag a happy ending out of this, dammit, but I will bloody well earn it.

That makes me feel absurdly better. I'm definitely going to go ahead with the Torchwood Eucatastrophe Project, though I won't get it officially up and running until after CoE has finished airing in the US/Canada at the end of this month. Probably the placeholder LJ comm will be created very soon, though. As of yesterday, I am officially unemployed, so god knows I've got the time for this right now.

Proactive fanworks for the win!

I think that I may have a fix-it, as well, and am thinking along similar lines re: earning any happy ending via good plot rather than cheap resolution. I hope that we don't end up writing the same thing!

And good on you for the TEP! Let me know if there's anything I can do on that front.

I'll be interested to read your fix. There are a lot of them floating around out there right now but they're all variations on "Ianto is a time lord!" "Jack comes back in time to bring him back" etc.

I'm a little strange, I guess, in that I wouldn't mind reading a good fix it fic, but I don't like the idea myself of writing a fic that alters a storyline. I'd have to just pretend CoE didn't happen. I've already mentioned to you the story I want to write...I've even got a few of the plot elements settled. I just can't decide if it's a terrible idea or not.
