This is brilliant! I loved Ianto pointing out the plot holes at the end there and RTD's Jack's comment “I’m the writer, I can do what I like.”

Love it!

That is the best icon EVER! Makes me giggle.

I wouldn't have minded the depressing parts (as much) if not for some of the bigger plot holes.

I'm glad you enjoyed this, and thank you for commenting!

That's AWESOME. I loved it, seriously. I'd so read more stories in this 'verse... ;-D

(Why, yes, that was a hint now that you mention it...)

I loved the relationship between Jack and Ianto and Jack being a writer and Ianto poking fun at all the holes in CoE and the way that "Burn" was based off Owen etc and--- *takes deep breath* Yeah. You get my drift.

I loved it!!!!

*bookmarks to read again later*

I really enjoyed writing writer!Jack. I kinda wish I had more ideas so I could write him more.

Thansk for reading, I'm really happy you liked it.

Ha, very clever! I liked this. And we all know people who poke at implausible things in films. Um, okay, that's me. *cough*

You know, RTD, Jack, people can write things and decide not to do anything with them because they're full of plot holes and freakin' depressing. ;)

Was the film with the "woke up screaming" character an actual film, or a device for your story? :)

I have no idea, but I'm going to err on the side of caution and say it was in a film and I've just forgotten it. I myself tend to be the person who keeps up a constant stream of trivia through the film.

And yeah, the depressing stuff could have been bearable if not for the (at times gaping) plot holes.

Anyway, glad you liked it and thanks so much for commenting!

*snicker* Loved it.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

That was fun! Now, having written it, I hope Jack decides to put it away for a long time.

shadowbyrd November 19 2009, 03:00:41 UTC

Who knows? he might never get it out again. (Crap, accidental innuendo.)

(icon love!)
