Non-Anniversary Challenge #2 Wrap-Up

[bookwrm89.livejournal.com]

Hello lovely Long Live Ianto-ans!  Thank you to our participants for the 2nd Annual Non-Anniversary challenge here at longliveianto!

Following is a list of the entries:

Journeys In Red by cyberdigi
Based on the prompt given with this picture, it's the story of Ianto's journey after the House of The Dead.

Interdependent by milady_dragon
Based on the prompt given by madbottoms: A crossover with Stargate, where Ianto didn't die as quick on Day Four, and it was a bit slower, and for some reason he's beamed away by SG1 or the Atlantis team, where they have a Tok'ra symbiote in need of a host. This will give Ianto an extended life of a thousand years at least.

Participant banners will be ready and emailed out soon! The challenge is officially closed but if any of the prompts catch the attention of your muses, please feel free to write it and post the fic!

Thank you again for your participation and stay tuned for our next challenge - the Birthday Product Placement Challenge! Details on that to follow shortly!

The Birthday 'Product Placement' Challenge

[bookwrm89.livejournal.com]

Our next challenge here at longliveiantolongliveianto is to celebrate Ianto's birthday! (yes, we know we're a couple days late but, just like Torchwood, sometimes things come up that disrupt the timeline)


The idea behind this challenge is simple - write a story based around Ianto's birthday and use some type of product placement in the story. For example - Jack puts Magic Relighting Birthday Candles on Ianto's cake. Or, maybe Ianto decides that the way he wants to celebrate his birthday is to stay in bed and eat Marshmallow Fluff all day.


As long as it's a celebration of Ianto's birthday, there is a product placement somewhere in the story and it follows the basic rule of the community that Ianto is extremely long-lived or immortal - then it's good to go!


To assist in getting the creative juices flowing, here is a list of possible products to use in your story:



Goof-Off Miracle Remover
LUSH bath products
 (link takes you to page where you choose your country before entering the website)

Jelly Babies



Avon products

Scotchgard

Duracell batteries

Tupperware

LiveJournal (although if you don't know what LJ is, how are you reading this post?)

eBay

Durex products

Godiva Chocolates

Starbucks

Aston Martin

Twitter

Microsoft products

Apple products

Kenneth Cole

Armani

Cartier

Fredericks of Hollywood

McDonalds

Harrods
Any brand of office products
Any brand of coffee


Remember, this list is just a place to start and the challenge is not limited to the products on the list. Use as many, or as few, products as you want. 

Fic can be posted anytime between now and the end of the challenge - which will be September 19th.  There is no minimum word count for fic. Artwork needs to clearly depict what type of long-life/immortality Ianto has.  If you have any questions, please comment on this post and one of the moderators will answer as soon as we can.


Enjoy!  We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Knight of Cups - Chapter Two (2/?)

[milady-dragon.livejournal.com]

Title: Knight of Cups - Chapter Two
Author: milady_dragon
Series: Dragon-Verse
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s): Jack/Ianto; Gwen/Rhys; Jack/Jack (1941)
Warnings: Language, Violence, Angst
Spoilers: Up through S1 E12, "Captain Jack Harkness"
Disclaimer:  I don't own Torchwood, I would have treated it better.
Author's note:  This is the Dragon-Verse version of "Captain Jack Harkness".  As always, dating is taken from fan chronologies, especially from Ianto's Desktop, and the TARDIS Index File. 

Summary:  Jack and Toshiko get taken by the Rift and deposited back in 1941.  Toshiko learns one of Jack's secrets, and sees things begin to fall apart, while Ianto struggles to get them back. 

Knight of Cups - This signifies a man of genuine character who's offering an invitation or proposal, and this card can represent the beginning of romance and falling in love.  The Knight of Cups is full of ideas that can open the heart and make one look at the deepest feelings.
