Just a couple of things today, first the reaction to Scale of Dragon, Tooth of Wolf has been, in a word, overwhelming. One of my latest batch of comments included a reader saying she would rec the story as the one must-read in HP fandom. Wow...just...wow. It's a good thing I don't wear a lot of hats 'cause I'm quite sure my noggin' would be so swollen right now it'd never fit into any of them.
I've never considered myself a writer, still don't really, mostly because I just don't have the passion for it that I've had for other creative endeavors. And I'm incredibly lazy. When it comes to sitting down and actually putting all the stuff in my brain onto paper I balk. My self discipline just dribbles out my ears and I find myself doing ridiculous mental gymnastics in order to avoid just sitting down and getting the writing done.
But I can't seem to stop the ideas and I'm already plotting out a sequel to SoD, ToW that might be even bigger, grander, and way longer than the first. I'm just not sure I've got the stamina to pull it off. We shall see.
On a lighter note...
Ianto is straight?
Seriously?
...for sure?
O...k.
And can I just say the Jack/Ianto snogging was HAWT? Even the Owen/Gwenn snogging was better than lukewarm. But oh my do I need the J/I one as an icon. Yum! I loved how after Jack pulls away Ianto's got this glazed look on his face like he's just moved several notches on the Kinsey scale.
It was a pretty good ep all around, though the cyber-babe outfit was a bit over the top. I always like the stories that flesh out secondary characters and start to give you an idea of what's going on inside their heads. I also liked the doling out of more info on Jack, the question about whether he'd ever been in love was particularly telling. As was the notion that he'd been kind of hoping the cyberwoman would kill him for sure this time. I do hope we get some more info on his "condition"...
Anyway, big thumb's up for episode 4!
