Summary: "I await your variable input." "You say the nicest things."
Notes: Torchwood/Iron Man crossover. Now with 100% totally made up computer code! Seriously, if you speak Computer, try not to cry. Also, I have not seen Iron Man II. Consider this an interlude or something.

LET THE GREAT DREAMWIDTH EXPERIMENT BEGIN!

So the other day I was looking around for good Iron Man fanfic featuring Jarvis (hint: it's rare!) and thinking about Torchwood and what an awesome crossover Iron Man and Torchwood would make, and then I wrote this. It's not the 'ship you think it is!

And I posted it to the new Storyteller archive on Dreamwidth, so we'll see how that works out. Remember, if you need a code, just ask -- there are plenty floating around.

I could have sworn I posted more than once today. Not that I have some kind of goal of spamming you all, but sometimes I forget what I blogged just in my head and what I actually put down in pixels.

I did mean to post, earlier, that my Three Things About Classic Who has inspired a fanfic, which is awesome! I really like some of the concepts it plays with and the parallels for Jack and Torchwood that it implies.

In other news, I spent some time with the EIGHTY SEVEN PAGE program guide for the conference I'm attending next week, and let me tell you, I had forgotten how incredibly hilarious academic language is. I realise that the further you get into academia the more specific you have to be, and that's reflected in specific and sometimes obscure language usage, but seriously now. If you're being so specific that nobody can understand what you've said without a thesaurus, the point, I feel, has been missed.

It's actually worrying how little I understand of some of the panel summaries, but that just makes it easier to weed them out of my attendance list. Anya mentioned to me that Sam, it's a conference about writing and you're a writer, but hell, I've never studied this shit; my degrees are in theatre, which means basically I just do stuff until something works. I am a little concerned that I'll be the equivalent of a chef amongst chemists.

Still, I'm hugely excited about the conference. There are tons of interesting panels and workshops to attend as well as the baffling ones. I'm going to at least one panel on internet fandom, a couple of panels on community building online, and I think one on collaborative community writing. I was joking today that I could cause quite a stir just by walking up to four or five carefully selected presenters and saying, "Hi, I'm Sam Starbuck."

(Actually in my head it's like that scene from Forest of the Dead where the Doctor says "I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggest library in the Universe. Look me up." You know. I'm Sam Starbuck, and you're in the middle of a conference about writing on the internet. Google me.)

I am not going to do this, because oh hell no, but it would be pretty fucking funny. I have really good Google presence.

Related, perhaps, I feel like the first test-run of the Storyteller archive on Dreamwidth has been pretty successful. We ironed out a few kinks (enabled anonymous posting, enabled full-text RSS feeds) and generally got things underway. I don't see any significant drop in comments; humour always tends to get a higher percentage, but even so I feel like I got rather more than usual, which is nice. Especially since that story was a joy to write from beginning to end. What's not to love about AI romance? Nothing, that's what. It's awesome.
