I really, really want to write the fic where S2 of Torchwood follows the writers' original plans, and Ianto's the one who gets zombified instead of Owen. Ever since I learned that, I've been sort of rewriting the second half of the season in my head, and wondering what it would've been like. I think it could be really, really interesting. Also long and plotty and difficult to write.

But holy mother of God, I do not want to go there, it would break my heart. And also, that is so not the fic this fandom wants to read right now.

Anyway. Back to the CoE fix-it fic of perpetual unfinishedness. I have a major plot point that I haven't figured out how to make work yet -- I feel like that New Yorker cartoon:



...in that I know the lead up, and I know the end result, but how the fuck I logically get the plot from point A to point B is a complete fucking mystery to me. This is stalling me badly on the fic as a whole. Stupid plot.

I might well read that fic, if you write it. It would fall into the category of things for which I should take a risk, and yes, it would be very difficult to write. However, it may be just as well that it would take a while to write, because you're right about the current state of the fandom. What with the stuff that's going on (or not going on) about Girl Number 9, I kind of want to head for the hills and make a survivalist camp, right about now. I may or may not post my long rant of doom on that one.

Let me know if you need cheer-leading, hand-holding, beta reading or other forms of support on that S2 thing, though. It really could be very interesting. I just wouldn't necessarily want it to be the last thing I ever read. ;)

...when I watch CoE, whenever that occurs, I could help you plot. ;)

Hopefully you'll be unstuck by the time that day comes.
