Silver

The Rules

01. Pick 10 of your favorite movies (in no particular order)
02. Find a quote from each movie (or do it from memory).
03. Post them here for everyone to guess.
04. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put the answer.
05. Looking them up is cheating, so don't!




01. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. - V for Vendetta - tayla36

02. Well forget it! I'm not doing it! This episode was badly written! - Galaxy Quest - griza

03. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous? - Labyrinth griza caz251

04. Does not a queen sit under the same stars as any other woman? - Elizabeth - emmalouisem_sa

05. Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil. Grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold? - Shaun of the Dead - griza

06. A spy. I spy. That's me, the spy. Of course, being a spy I really shouldn't say I'm a spy or I'm spied by a spy. What? You want me to spy on something? Um, look, there's a canal, I spied it. Look, it's still there. Ooh, and again. - Casanova - outwhere and parmanya

07. People give up their lives for many reasons. For friendship, for love, for an ideal. And people kill for the same reasons... Hero - esporamor

08. The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - griza

09. That wasn't flying! That was falling ... with style! - Toy Story - tayla36 and

10. "This is the worst day of my life!" - "Worst day of your life ... so far." The Simpsons Movie - iantogodeo jadeaffection

Okie dokie ... I just thought I'd let you all know that thanks to the really positive reaction I've had to my writing on here and in a couple of other fandoms (okay ... Harry Potter ...) I've decided to take a u-turn and take on writing as a career possibility. Tomorrow I'm going back to university, and I'm putting in a request to change my course and study Creative Writing.

"As well as learning how to write prose, you will also be studying poetry and the creation of drama scripts for stage and screen." says the prospectus.

I think I'll be happier on this course rather than the one I'm doing now - combined Drama and Theatre Studies with Fine Art - as I think I'll be more motivated to fitting an outline or brief. I prefer to create art when the inspiration takes me, not when the man in the suit says it needs it. While writing is an art form, I find it easier to create stories and ideas from words rather than images from a title.

Thank you for giving me the confidence to go ahead and tell them what I want to do, rather than what has been expected for me to do. (I come from a family of artists ... I need to tell them about this next ...)

Anyhoozle,

I'll probably update later if I'm not lying in a bloody lump somewhere.

Here's something that's just far too cute as a thankyou:







_{From tw_babiez}

Just so you're not all up waiting (pfft?), I'm really sorry but there's not going to be an update tonight. I had written a massive chunk of Silver'Verse, only for my computer to crash and then not believe me when I told it I *had* saved it. *grumbles incoherently*

"Cannot Locate File" my fookin arse!

If I find, I shall post. If not, I'm going to have to start again.


¬_¬ stoopid laptop.


In my last fic update, an number of you expressed concern over my being hit around the head with a book. I urge you all not to worry: it was my useless but rather evil boyfriend checking to make sure my headache was still there.



He is now caressing his balls in regret.






:P

Sorry I'm a little late posting this!

The voting for the Minion Icons closed today, and I'm currently adding up the scores (I'm not supposed to be on the computer so I'm very surreptitiously doing it - which makes things quite slow).


I'll announce the winner later x

ConCrit welcome as I shall hopefully be submitting it to the mod soon xx

OMG I laughed sooooooooooo much! I hope it can brighten your days as much as it does mine ...

Well, when I originally posted the survey, I didn't quite expect such a fantastic response! Many thanks for the offers of money, sex, cookies, cakes and (most appreciatedly) kidneys, I am very flattered. Equally as flattering were the declarations of undying love (The surveys were anonymous, but I'm keeping my eyes on fancieflights, unrequited1984 and paraxenos). Thanks also to several of you who offered me RTD's job, but I'm not sure you're allowed to give it me :p

Oh, and griza: I know it was you that asked for the Button/Janet porn, you sick sick sick biatch. ;)

Another part of this survey was to do with the fact I couldn't settle on a 'pet name' for Ianto - those of you who took part will know I asked for some suggestions (I was a little surprised I only got 'cariad' twice.) but I figured really, since Ianto is ours collectively (I'll rent him out to you if you want - no, griza your hands are full at the moment ;]) so I thought we should all name him :)

I would also like to explain to an angry person who doesn't like the 'pet' storyline that Ianto would recognise that he doesn't actually belong to Jack, it's just a game they're playing as an 'in' joke behind Rhiannon's back. They are still equals - just playing a game. Also, 'pet' name means a term of endearment (sweetheart, darling, cariad etc), not an actual re-naming. I apologise that you feel Ianto is degraded by this storyline, but really, this is not what is intended. It's just one of his and Jack's games. I've made it clear throughout this series that Ianto is on a level footing with Jack and is only grudgingly submissive when they are in private: like I said, it's a game. It won't last forever. I'm sorry if the 'game' aspect wasn't conveyed in my writing - this is my fault. But that's all it is. Playing kinky. :)

I was pleased a lot of you noticed the excessive drinking recently (think about how long I used to leave it between drunk!Ianto, right?) as the chapter I'm part way through hints towards this - go you, intelligent Torchwood fans! Oo! And apparently I've been Gwen bashing - I really didn't mean to! I meant it as light fun as I'm not anti-Gwen - just jokes between friends - but I think the fact I'm a bit (lot) pissed off that she's Mary-Sue unscathed by anything may have clouded my judgement as to what could be seen as teasing and what could be seen as bullying. I shall watch the Gwen jokes in the future - this did, after all, start out as a Gwen/Ianto friendship fic from a Janto p.o.v.

The Doctor got a lot of votes to show up, as did Martha. I got about seven people telling me I must absolutely not include Rose - fair enough; I wasn't gunna anyways *sticks out tongue*. I'm not anti-Rose. I'm just not pro-Rose. Typing 'John Hart' in the box several times still only constituted as one vote (you two will know who you are!) but quite a few people wanted him to arrive on the scene. I don't want to bring in too many characters, I quite like the little bubble we've got going at the moment with the occassional Andy and Rhiannon input. Andy got quite a few shout outs, too.

For the time being, I'm not getting rid of Rhiannon. Sorry. I know you don't like her, but that's the point. If you liked everyone in the fic, it'd be shite. There'd be no point. The Rhiannon storyline won't last forever, and all shall be resolved (becase we all loves happy endings!), but for now she is the 'baddie'.


I'm leaving the survey open for another few hours. If you would like to do it and haven't, it's only 8 questions and shouldn't take three minutes - the more the merrier! :)
