I'M GOING INSANE!!!

[a_silver_story]

Okay, I'm trying to post the Epilogue for your Hallowe'en treat, but my internet has gone DOWN! (and I mean down!)


Yes, at 5:45, fifteen minutes after the people who can fix my internet left work, the Internet died. This greatly upset myself, and my housemate.

After an hour of no Internets, we were so bored, we ended up making Jenga tower out of DVDs. I won.

So, in despair, I have come to the University Library in the hope of possibly posting the Epilogue. I put it in a nice neat Word.docx, all typed up, self-beta'd and ready to be copied and pasted onto LiveJournal. I sit down at the computer, I swtich it on, I log in .... the systems are too old to read the Office 07 .docx format. Joy. The 2003 one they have also hates me so much, it refuses to convert it for me into something it can read.

I think "Well, it's not the end of the world ... I'll just go home and save the file in different formt. No biggie, and everyone can do with a walk every now and then". So I walk all the way home, convert the file to rich text, and walk all the way back. What's the issue now? Oh, the computer bank I've been using before has been closed for cleaning, so I need to go to the other one in the Reading Room. Fine, okay.

I discover that these read 2007 .docx files and go silently mental.

... still an issue? Clearly.

The bastard thing won't read my USB! I've tried about three different stations, and nothing will accept my little pink USB pen exists.

I promise I will get this Epilogue up tonight, even though everything is against me. I think God might be Gwack (I typed that and thought: 'duh? What has that shouty man with the signs and sandwich board on Chester highstreet been telling you all this time?') because he's the only one who would possibly try and stop me from doing anything.

Whether my sanity will survive until morning remains questionable.

You better all love me.

And I mean love me lots.


Even if you don't like the ending ... which I think you might not ...


It's bit ... RTD ....




EDIT:

Here's the DVD Jenga Tower of DOOOOOOOOM

_{Points if you can guess the DVDs you can't see.}




I think the clear message here is: DO. NOT. TAKE. THE. INTERNETS. AWAY. FROM. GEEKS.

I'll have to read it when I've errr... actually started reading the other parts. Still trying to read all the posts etc as I've been away since late Thursday!

a bit RTD? fuck. gwen's gonna have a baby and everyone else is gonna die. and then gwen sexes up jack's corpse. because, y'know, it's halloween...
I really hope you don't kill ianto. it's kinda not fair to do something like that and not warn for character death imo.

I still love you though.

[a-silver-story.livejournal.com]

I don't care what you opinion is. It was right for the story, the story needed it, the story demanded it, the story crawled into my head at night and told me that the one thing it needed was ....



.... Epilogue is posted.







_{... and I hope you got my jokey tone at the beginning of this comment???}

epilogue is awesome. I was just a bit wary about the character death thing because I try to avoid deathfics (of course with torchwood it's impossible to avoid completely, I just like to know before it's not all flowers and sunshine, having been blindsided by some really great fics in other fandoms where all of a sudden BAM! oh yeah he's dead. and after the fact they warn that it's a deathfic)

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

I love you to bits (and these are large bits, faaar too big to be hidden in cavity wall insulation), heck I recomend you to EVERYONE who expresses an interest in fanfic, Janto, IMs etc. I was pimping you out at Hub something proper!

A little RTD????? How little???? How RTD???? No death plz, he's too pretty to die! And no Gwack, because then you will have gone completely mad, and may need an intervention (of the tall, Welsh kind)

[a-silver-story.livejournal.com]

You were pimping me?? *blushes*

You're so lovely ^_^

Epilogue is posted finally!

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

You are worth the pimpage! One lovely lady ended up staying up till unholy o'clock reading the IMs!!!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

A bit RTD? *iz scared*

But I still loves you.

[candi-apple-red.livejournal.com]

"... a bit RTD"?

I love you lots, so I'm going to trust you and go read now.

[magicmalcolm.livejournal.com]

For the record, I'm plotting to steal your DVD collection as we speak. :)

It's hard to believe I ever managed life without the Internet. Whenever it goes down, I kinda feel like I've lost a limb. But you managed to get something sorted out in the end. Your frustation and annoyance will not be in vain! :)

[a-silver-story.livejournal.com]

*gathers DVD's to self in Gollum-like fashion*


these are my preciousssssssssss now tha internetssssss is deaddddddddddd.

[magicmalcolm.livejournal.com]

Och, fine. But you owe me a movie night. Popcorn optional.

[a-silver-story.livejournal.com]

YAY OMGZ POPCORN!


What movie should we start with? I vote Shaun of the Dead, The Mighty Boosh Live or Moulin Rouge!

[magicmalcolm.livejournal.com]

Moulin Rouge first, then a thorough cheering up afterwards with The Boosh! If the hysterics haven't claimed us as victims by the end of that, then Shaun Of The Dead will finish us off for sure.

I already read the epilogue, and I still love you :)

Dvd jenga tower! Great!!

I agree, geeks need internet to survive like normal people need air (hmm, maybe a little too dramatic, but it's true, hehe).

[geekchick1013.livejournal.com]

ROFL!

That is all.

[ceindreadh.livejournal.com]

Well I can't guess the unseen DVD's, but I'll lay odds that Children of Earth isn't one of them ;-)

Lacking of internet sucks mightily (hugs)
