I've got a roughly 1100-word fic due tomorrow for queer_fest. (Yes, nothing like being all last-minute.) It's Torchwood post-Twilight Streets genfic, so it could use Brit-picking as well if anyone's up for that. Pretty please with sugar on top?

I am going to be posting a week of shame on 5_for_five tomorrow. I more or less managed to get some stuff done on my queer_fest prompt, but it's more what I have to say on the subject than what the character does or would. Character is, instead, jabbering away on, to be fair, the same subject (ish), but in the context of The Fic That Wouldn't Stay Dead.

(Yeah, it's still not dead. Can it please turn into a giant head and save New New York soon? Except no. Total ambivalence there.)

Admittedly, said character probably does have a fair amount to say on the subject in that context. I sincerely hope that whatever it is, it's capable of translating into a standalone. I should probably, then, start transcribing some of the jabbering, despite the fact that (for MONTHS now) I have flatly refused to actually write any much of the stuff the characters decide they need to tell me about TFTWSD. Clearly, that policy has failed miserably. It is still neither killed nor contained. It is still more like therapy than actual fic. Anyway, if I actually write what he's got to say in that wordvomitfictherapything, maybe then I can make some progress on the fic I'm actually trying to write.

Maybe.

ETA: As I have been reminded by sshg316, it was not a week of shame. I may not have met the goal, but I did write and still get a sticker:
