Tripping Into an Alternate Universe  
All Ye, Hear This:

This journal resides in an Alternate Universe. There was NO series 3. If you are willing to travel along, the more the merrier.

There will be no angst, no weeping, no gnashing of teeth. Because Series 3 DID.NOT.HAPPEN.

That other Torchwood is fiction and totally separate from reality. Which is that Series 3 DID.NOT.HAPPEN.

Come on, folks. That's what fan fiction is for.

Exactly!

Here Here!!
I will follow your stories which are brilliant by the way... just in case I haven't told you before.
Plus I fully intent to follow writing my Torchwood fics both currently running series and ones that are still flying around in my head.
And since Ianto is my favorite character and generally the focus of my stories I will continue to have him alive and kicking butt.
And though I will have series 3 in my Blood Series (and probably only in that series, because I've already promised it would run as close to canon as an AU can) I've already worked out so that it will still be as powerful and dramatic but FIX IT!! There will be no death of Ianto Jones!!!! Now I just have to get up to it.

I'd already made up my mind that seaon 3 wasn't canon, and in fact didn't happen! (Although I still have these painful memories which aren't going away easily). Glad there are others of the same opinion, and plenty to read since I haven't read any of yours yet!

Welcome to this Universe! And that "other thing" was a piece of fiction which was interesting but not real!
[identity profile] lirulien.livejournal.com on July 11th, 2009 03:26 pm (UTC)
Yes yes YES PLEASE.
Let's steal a TARDIS and really CLOSE THE FUCKING WALL on this goddamn backwater miserable dimension. In fact, why don't we just wipe this whole universe out of the freaking timeline. I am sure the Doctor wouldn't mind. (Or if he did mind, well, let's kill him and use his TARDIS for the job.)

No need! All we need to do is compartmentalize... There is "their" Torchwood and there is ours. And ours is the real one!

I LOVE YOU.

And I am really rather more vendictive than you, Merucha, I am a "hate it? then KILL IT DEAD, burn the body, scatter the ash and salt the earth" kinda girl.

Like I said, Jack woke up, the shower was running, Ianto was in there. Yes it was all a dream. Have you read the ask about coffee piece? Gotta love Sam, it is superb.

Just off to read Bred in the Bone, shame about Gwen, but you know, these things happen.
[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 12th, 2009 12:01 am (UTC)
I have been writing, plan to read soon. Sam is fantastic!

I'm in. I will merrily swim the sweet warm waters of deniel.

It's an ever-expanding pool, so jump right in!

Thank you! I've been so afraid wonderful TWfic writers (like you!) would be too smashed to go on (I've seen it happen in other fandoms) and you're words give me hope!

IMHO, Torchwood fic is most often better than the actual series (again, your works very much included!) and it almost seems like now, with "the horror" that has been unleashed in the canon world, RTD and Co. have opened the gates for ficwriters to show RTD and Co. as much regard as they show their viewers.

I am glad you plan to stay -- you're one of the TW writers that keep me tuning in!

[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 12th, 2009 12:02 am (UTC)
Thank you! I have no intention to quit my own Universe. Well just see where it goes!
[identity profile] artistwife.livejournal.com on July 12th, 2009 01:54 am (UTC)
Yeah. Fan fiction keeps it all going wether it want to or not. Love all you who ply your art here for us.
[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 12th, 2009 01:56 am (UTC)
Thank you! It's sometimes the only way to make things right!
kelticbanshee[personal profile] kelticbanshee on July 12th, 2009 02:28 pm (UTC)
Agreed!

I'm actually thinking of writing some accpetance fic first, giving Jack some comfort first... then, yeah, I have my own AU in which CoE did happen, but not as RTD decided it had to be!

Mind if I friend? I've been meaning to read some of your stuff for ages and never really got around to it!
[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 12th, 2009 02:35 pm (UTC)
Please do! And AU CoE is welcome!

You have 96 comments, heh! I got back from camp this afternoon and the first thing I did was watch ep5. And I am also joining you in the universe where Ianto is still bloody alive!
[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 12th, 2009 09:43 pm (UTC)
Welcome to the parade!
[identity profile] alex-annn.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2009 05:05 am (UTC)
AMEN!!! I say it again AMEN! I am so glad that you feel that way. I think a lot of others will too. One of my biggest fears was losing my first true fandom and all of the fictional stories that have meant so much to me. Thank you
[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2009 11:31 am (UTC)
Don' be silly. Ianto lives (in one of my AUs he lives forever, so there!)
[identity profile] jsks.livejournal.com on July 15th, 2009 09:01 am (UTC)
you will be my new canon queen.
i will now dismiss the other as a entry in a very bad torchwood fanfic contest.
[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com on July 15th, 2009 02:09 pm (UTC)
Or as I do, an interesting exercise in television. It wasn't bad, you know. In fact, it was downright good -- except those people in it? Not ours.
