eldabe | I go away and STUFF HAPPENS. TWO STUFFS.

Officially I'm not here. Officially, I have another paper due tomorrow at 13:00 ~~Daylight Savings~~ British Summer Time and I haven't been taking mental breaks to check my friends list while writing my Victorian Philanthropy paper and am now rewarding myself for handing it in by posting. Officially.

I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT.

See, I went away for a big with patchy internet (which I spent on watching Doctor Who. Priorities.) and I come back and limit myself to only a few things because I had four papers and a project to write in under a week, but I am only human you know and I KNEW IT.

Listen, I can forgive fandom for releasing the names of the remix people because that probably already had a date I never checked and it's an internal fandomy sort of thing, not quite the same as big news. Fun fact, though, is that I cannot figure out who wrote what until it's announced. After that, everything makes sense, and I can see the patterns in writing and notice the similarities and I could even point them out to you, etc. But I am SO BAD at making the call before that. Also on LAS entries. Man, oh, man, just can't figure it out. Weird disconnect in my brain there.

I still haven't gotten a chance to go through all the fandoms I'm interested in there. I really like remixes, I think they tend to have a higher overall quality than fanfiction out there. Maybe the pressure of remixing something else, maybe most people start with a decent fic to remix, maybe only good writer tend to sing up for them, I don't know. I theorize that it's a combination of factors, but it is partly because the writer doesn't have to concentrate so hard on thinking up ideas, and can really focus on craft more. For whatever reason, I don't have to sift though fic when I read remixes, they're all just typically enjoyable. So I feel much more free to check out fic in fandoms I normally don't have the patience for, like Chronicles of Narnia or something.

Anyway, announcing remix authors is totally fine while I'm away. I didn't come back and freak out, I just started pairing up writers to fic.

BUT.

BUT DUDES.

RUMORS ABOUT GDL BEING IN THE NEW TORCHWOOD AUIDO DRAMA/RADIO SHOW/WHO KNOWS?

OF COURSE THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M OFFLINE.

OF COURSE.

Let us look at the facts for a moment.

There is a new Torchwood audio thing.
It will have flashbacks.
It is being recorded next week.
Gareth David-Lloyd will be in the US next week for unexplained work commitments.
Twitter heart attack.
Other people are already squeeing.

I'm no great shakes at math(s), but if this adds up to two I may not sleep until the audio drama is released. The adrenaline will be too damn strong.

Fine, I would really rather him on screen, yes. As a flashback, as a ghost/hauting thing, as alternate!evil!Ianto, I don't care. (They can! If they get him there for the audio thing they can just sneak him onto set under a tarp or something and hand him a suit and GOGOGO. But that seems less likely. If they bring him back to life, though, Steven, Tosh and Owen must be mentioned.)

And I honestly think GDL should have turned this down with a ten-foot pole because in the long run he absolutely must move on from Ianto before it becomes his entire career. They had better be paying him decently for this.

But part of me just doesn't care. MORE IANTO FOREVER, YES?
