Posting Rules Update

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Due to concerns of some of our members, we figured we need to make some of our rules a bit clearer along with a couple of updates to posting rules:

One shots must show Ianto being immortal/extended life somehow in the fic, or must end with him becoming so.

If his becoming immortal/extended life is somewhere down the line in a series/'verse, please be sure it happens in the duration of the fic being posted, or by the end. If happens several fics down the line, please hold off on posting until Ianto is immortal/extended life. You may post links to the previous fics leading to it then.

If it is reincarnated!Ianto in a fic, he must somehow retain memories of his life as Ianto, by the end of the fic. The same with clone!Ianto. Again, if this happens in another fic further in a series, do not post until it happens and include links to previous fics.

All fics must have either the immortal!ianto or extended life!ianto tags, or one of the other extended life tags. If any of those tags are not included with a submitted fic, it will be rejected (we generally explain why a fic is rejected and if you can fix, you are more then welcome to submit again).

We do not believe this needs to be said, but please keep in mind the following:
CoE compliant and S4 should not be posted here unless it's a fix-it - and fixed by the end.
There should be plenty of other places for such fics that are not fix-its and bring Ianto back.

longliveianto is to be considered a safe zone away from TW S4, as well as from CoE-compliant fics (exceptions are fix-it in which Ianto returns - immortal or with an extended life). Please keep this in mind, because fics will be rejected if it does not meet the criteria.

Questions? You know where to find us.

New Year's Challenge Round Up

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Is it a month already? Geez! Weren't we just ringing in the New Year? Anyway, round up time for our New Year's challenge. We're not going to say the challenge is closed, because like the previous challenges, if you are still working on something, or just never got around to working on that plotbunny (like me), whenever you do, you are more than welcome to post it here.

On My Nose and Eyelashes by xrai_namere 


While we had only two entries, I must give honorable mention to the following fics, which were a result of "On How To Spend New Year's Eve" and started the new year off with lots of laughs and crack. It even inspired the Ianto Jones Society membership cards and a new comm on LJ (theijs )!

Fics can be found in these posts:

Get ready because coming soon is the February challenge. :)

February Challenge

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

With last month's hilarity still in mind, as well as reports coming in from other areas of the Torchwood fandom, we decided that laughter is the best medicine. Laughter is good. We like laughter. Combine it with an immortal or long life!Ianto and we have a very good thing. Add Jack into the mix and we think it's a winning situation.

So this month's challenge is Valentine crack!fic!

That's right. You read it right. We want you to take your immortal or extended life Ianto and give him and Jack a cracky Valentine's Day. Or any other romantic situation turned crack will work as well.

This is your mission, should you decided to choose it.
Have fun!
(and don't forget to put those food and drink warnings on your crack!fic!)
