My friend, holyfrell, has set up a wonderful new community for Benedict Cumberbatch fans that I'm gonna be helping her out with. If anyone's interested, here's the basics:





A brand new Benedict Cumberbatch photo and video sharing community – get a once-a-day, every day Benedict fix at dailybenedict :D

Come and join us!

Okay, I'm majorly pissed at LJ for the whole Facebook Connect thing - even with my added CSS - as well as the added features to the 'Share This!' link that they hadn't announced. In a massive diva strop, I'm considering importing my journal to Dreamwidth and doing everything there, then posting links to those entries here. Not sure yet, though ...

Anyway, if you're reading this, it's probably come up on your email or RSS feed, so you're probably the people I need to warn most. I've got my posting date for my Torchwood Big Bang fic, and as mine is a two-parter I'll be posting the entire thing on two particular days: the first half on the 27th September, and the second on the 12th of October.

If you've found this on your Friends' Page, this probably won't be a problem, but even if I backdate the entries I know the RSS feed still puts up a notification, and I'm only guessing it works the same notification system for the 'Track' options and will send an email. Anyways, I'm just forewarning you!

So yes, despite my appalling update record recently, I have been a busy bumble bee. As well as chapters of 'To Another', 'Silver Service', 'SilverFish' and my Dibley fic, I've been beavering away at Tw Big Bang (now on over 60k ... oops), my ongoing project for my darker journal,damaged_silver, another project I started (bad, BAD SILVER!) that is nearly complete for this journal ... as well as Round 3 of Reel Torchwood, which is at about 15k for the moment. I'm also working on something rather exciting with holyfrell.

So while it has been criminally quiet around here, come the end of September, I'm going to drown you.

Also, with the claiming post going up today, I can reveal that my Reel Torchwood film is ...



*drum roll* *drum roll* *drum roll* *drum roll* *drum roll* *drum roll* *drum roll* *drum roll*

EDIT: dr_is_in has FOUR invite codes available for Dreamwidth. If you want to set up an account there, you need an invite code and they have kindly offered theirs. I've put in a request for some invite codes too, but they are TBC.

Let dr_is_in know if you want a code ♥

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE thanks guys - especially since I've been really bad with posting thanks to writers block and Big Bang at the moment. I'm working to catch up, and this has just spurred me on quite happily!



Much love to everyone in the world ever,

Dear 10:10 Systems,

Is a reliable internet connexion really too much to ask? All I want is 24/7 access to Livejournal and funny videos on Youtube. It is, after all, what I pay you for.

Is a new router really too much to ask? This is the sixth time in a month and a half that I must waste my credit to ring you, so could you at some point please make good on your contractual obligation wiyh the rental company that owns my house and ensure the broadband is working and reliable (which it currently isn't) and save everyone the grief of the 'have you tried switching it off and on again? ... Have you yroed switching it off for five minutes, then switching it on again?' routine, more often than not followed by two daws of diagnostics and the arrangement for an engineer to visit, right before the damn thing randomly decides to work again and the engineer is deemed 'unnecessary' - 'cause a router that keeps breaking and flashing orange DSL lights when it feels like it is totally 'working and reliable'.

Just be thankful I now have a qwerty on my phone, 'cause this is one pissed fangirl.

I WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER OF JANTO PORN, FROGDAMMIT!

Damn you, 10:10, for only working office hours. If only I knew where ypu physical office was ...

Lots of love and most likely soon-to-be-dashed hope,

Silver

EDIT: Okay ... so maybe switching the router off for five minutes worked. At least I didn't ring them this time ...

But it's still gonna need replacing! I stand by that! >:|

OH



MY




GOD!



I won both the Children of Time Awards I was nominated for! I ... *splutters incoherently*

I can't believe it!

I suppose I should make a speech or something ... erm ....

:|


Well ... thanks, really. Especially to everyone at the Academy and BAFTA Children of Time awards, particularly rockangelxoxo who is incredibly lovely. Also, magicmalcolm cuz he makes me laugh, unrequited1984, emmalousem_sa, naddypants, iceshade, bettathnbarbie, eleni81, goddess_ophelia, elanor12 and freekydj (that last one is just "makes me laugh" one, too XD). (Apologies if I forgot someone! - there's a baby crying outside and distracting me :\)

Also xennie_b for the champagne she sent (viewable on my profile), and also for her vampire!Ianto fics, which you should all go and read NOW.

However, I would most specially like to thank:

1. zsazsa4168, who is an absolute darling and quite possibly my favourite person with a flower icon evaaar.
   
   
2. kholran, who you should all fall to the ground and worship for all your worth. From late-night transatlantic speed-drawing sessions to Janto Sim Porn, she's there for me!
   
   
3. holyfrell, whose fault it is there wasn't a chapter posted last night, but is usually responsible for making me write most of the flippin' time. I just sincerely hope she doesn't buy a whip ....
   

Most of all, however, I want to thank everyone who reads this journal whether you comment or not. Everyone who's ever read this journal ever, ever, ever. Especially if you voted for me.

I'll amend my journal banner when I've finished this chapter of AL, and I'll post my banners once the corrections come in (type-o's mek Silvah cwy! - not reallyyyyyy!)



Much love and gratitude and JantoPr0nz,


Silver

Don't read the comments if you don't want to be spoilered!


I've probably be making iconnage soon XD

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

( sorry ... didn't realise how big the photies were! )

_{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.

Painting I made on photoshop:



Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

Drawn using standard laptop touchpad mouse - about 13 hours in all.

Underdrawing an colour samples taken from www.jimmycarr.com. The colouration is all mine, and I think I might have gone a bit off on one with it ... he's rather orange ...

In case you're wondering about Chapter Five....


I'm having a couple of problems with flow, hence the long delay between four and five, plus I've just gone back to college, so bear with me while I get on top of all my start-of-year coursework ¬¬
