Fic: The Volteze Falcon

Fic: The Volteze Falcon, Part One: Eve, Sam, Harry

I know what you're thinking: "Where's my retro-Torchwood?" "Where's my Sontarans up the Jungle, for that matter?" "ANOTHER WIP??!!". You see, I got mugged by this plot-bunny, and...

Well, it's like this. Like many of you, I greatly enjoyed last week's SJA story “The Mad Woman in the Attic”. The characters Eve, Sam and Harry in particular seemed made for sequel-fic. And then I got thinking; there are quite a few NuWho-era characters out there by now, wandering the stars in search of sequels. And then I read this fic, which I thought was marvellous: www.whofic.com/viewstory.php . Plus I thought wouldn't it be kewl to write something in the freewheeling, slightly cracky vein of some of the 80s and 90s-era DWM comic strips. No shapechanging penguins, though; sorry. And then this plot-bunny jumped out on me, and... So, anyway; Doctor Who, SJA, Torchwood and all the characters and copyrights contained therein belong to the BBC and their individual creators and definitely not to me. Enjoy (I hope)!

LOL - thank you very much! I've looked at that too, and sort of gave up at the point where Gerald had a different surname to the one they gave on the website. It wouldn't be the first spinoff book to occupy its own special private continuity. The worrying thing is that Google tells me it was actually written by Gary Russell, and isn't he supposed to be the NuWho continuity supremo?

Just keep chanting with me; there is no canon, there is no canon, there is no...

If you're wondering where I got my retro-Torchwood info, I've discovered it's still up here (with the group photo that was only glimpsed in the TV episode):

You can see the bits I nicked to use in my stories as well - airships, etc. Be warned, Harriet's paragraph contains SPOILERS

BTW, Ianto said Harriet was 26, not 24 in the actual episode (I have it written down on my tattered old fanfic piece of paper here); and Ianto was never wrong about anything. Well, apart from that plan to foil the 456 actually working, but...that was the very last time he was ever wrong about anything...

Ace, Ten and Donna; I'm _thinking hard_ about it, but you know how it is with the bunnies etc. It will happen, though.
