Long Live Ianto

Hiya!
Funny that I had just updated the profile - it was 2 am when I was working on it, and forget a few things. Yes, manips are very welcome here, along with any other type of artwork pertaining to the theme. We should have tags for artwork so create away! I'd love to see what you do. :D

Hi there - I'll start by saying that I love the idea for this community, especially as I've JUST started looking around for soem good immortal!Ianto fics (bizarre timing =P)

I do need feedback on wherther a fic idea would be acceptable here though. I'll give the basic plot:

Ianto gets made immortal and over many thousands of millenia, he and Jack have an ongoing love/hate/lust/need thing going on and they eventualyl manage to put things behind them and be together properly.

Ianto will end up dying in this fic, but time wise, it'll be maybe a few millenia before the Face of Boe dies - and the epilogue will be the boys meeting 'on the other side'

does that count as eternal Ianto?

From:

Hey there! Yes, since Ianto is immortal like Jack and you're going to have the boys meet 'on the other side' after both of them die, that will be okay to post here.
Thanks & can't wait to read it!

What about reborn!Ianto? Or is that theoretically not a long-life but a new-life thing?

From:

Like Ianto's spirit/soul being reborn over and over?

ETA - as long as Ianto is recognizably Ianto - has Ianto's memories/personality - that should be fine.

This might be a silly question, but...

I've never actually posted anything to an open community like this. I have a story I'd like to post, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I've read the user information, but it didn't say anything about submitting. So...how do I go about doing that? I have a wizard!Ianto story I'd like to share...

From:

Hi! Not a silly question at all!
First off - is the story already posted on your journal or would you be posting directly to the comm?

From:

It's already posted on my journal, and there are about twenty chapters up already. So I'd most likely link to the first chapter, then add a link to a chapter list.

From:

Ok then, use the posting format shown in our profile (http://community.livejournal.com/longliveianto/profile) and add a link to the first chapter in your journal (instructions on how to do that are found here (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=67) ).

Sorry to bother you, but I don't have a working author tag and I'm not allowed to create one. =(

From:

Go ahead and post your story. We'll create your author tag when we approve the post. If there are other tags you need that aren't available, please let us know!

From:

You have a tag now, and I updated your two posts with it already. So it's there now for next time you post. :D

Hello, I just created a new community about trauma recovery in fiction (

trauma_rec_fic) and I wondered if I might be allowed to post to promote it? Please let me know. Thanks! :)

From:

That's fine. Promote away! :D

How do you feel about crossover fics?

I've got a COE fix-it fic that ends with Ianto essentially being immortal, even though he stays completely human. It's a crossover with Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" universe, but doesn't really require any knowledge about that 'verse to make sense.

I've posted the fic in another community before, but I've just completed a companion piece to it, and I thought both might fit in with this community.

From:

As long as the main rule of Ianto being immortal or having an extremely long life is followed, crossovers are more than welcome.
Looking forward to reading your story!

Since I've started posting stories now, any chance that I might get an author tag?

From:

I was just doing that when your request came through! LOL All taken care of now.

From:

That's fine. The examples were more in what comes to mind for most people for Halloween. But I see AI and cyborg too. So have fun and looking forward to what you come up with! :)

From:

As long as there is a reference to a long-life or immortal Ianto and you use one of those two tags, anything goes here. PWP is welcome. :)

If you need a new tag, let us know.

From:

Well, I think I might have my Halloween challenge fic ready to start posting...would it be possible to get a dragon!Ianto tag?? :)

From:

There you go, milady! I'm really excited to see what you did! Dragons are cool! :D

From:

Fantastic! I'll post the first chapter tomorrow...right now, my bed is calling to me. Good night! :)

From:

Yes, go to bed. Get some sleep. Go. Shoo! You deserve it after that bunny you gave us today. :D
See you tomorrow!

From:

You're tags are ready. :)
Looking forward to read your fic!

Hello I was wondering if I could post a story where COE happened but Jack ends up in an alternate universe where Ianto is alive? He isn't immortal in the first fic but in a later one so would I have to post it as a really long one when I've got to that point?

Oh and I'm hoping to have a fic for the Halloween challenege finished for tomorrow, would it be possible to either have a Myfanwy!Ianto, or Dinosaur!IAnto tag please? Ooh and can I have an author tag too if I do post. I've just sent a request through for membership, thought I'd done it ago.

From:

Hi there!

You're now a member and Welcome! :)

You also have the tags requested. You managed to do this on a day off for me, so I'm getting to this faster. Normally you have to wait for one of us to get home from work for new tags. Approving new members and fics I can usually do all day from my mobile, but not create tags.

As for the CoE fic, I'm going to have to say no, I'm afraid. The theme of this comm is that what we saw by the end of CoE either never happened or that Ianto comes back to life (even if by reincarnation at some point - hint, since I don't really know all of your fic and just in case. You know like soul tranference from one Ianto to the other would work too). But if the Ianto we saw die stays dead, then that's not for this comm.
You story does sound interesting however, and I'm sure I'll be seeing it posted to other comms (you might also want to join Epic Proportion if it's a long one posted in parts, 'cause that's what they're there for).

You're all set for your Halloween entry when you have the time. Oh, and if it's multi-part, all you need to do is get the first chapter in before the deadline to get a banner and make the challenge listing. You can post the rest as you're ready then (heck, I'm still posting parts of my Non-Anniversary fic!)

Thanks for replying. It's a shame about not being able to post here but I understand and I didn't really think my fic would entirely fit either. ^_^

I hated day four of COE and the first thing I said after it was they've done that so that Jack can go meet the Doctor in some alien bar. Lol. Didnt think I'd be completely right.

My fic starts where the Doc drops Jack off on the Plass but Jack see's Ianto and soon realises he's in an alternate world. I mainly wanted to bring back the whole team as well as our gorgeous welshman, change the original stories and add my own in.

Lol I've got about three sequels planned already and in one of them Jack will see our Ianto again and it will end with them together, but well it aint that simple. Lol. So thanks for replying I'll definitely look into that other site you suggested. I've just finished the first story so was just thinking about when to start posting it. Don't know if I'll start before Reel Torchwood or wait til after. ^_^

Anyway I'm rambling. Ooh and it's good to know about being able to continue posting after the deadline. I had the idea two days ago and it just took on a different direction last night where I could end up writing so much more. At the moment it's a oneshot where they meet and the end of that first meeting ends with a kiss and the promise of a relationship starting. I wanted to carry on but ended up writing a kind of epilogue that was six months later where Ianto is thinking about their relationship and vaguely about what happened in those six months (action wise).

Would that be enough for it to count or do I need to get my fingers flying on the middle bit and the development of the relationship. I'll write it either way but I want to make sure I'm not breaking the rules of the comm. Grins.

Sorry I bet you are so sick of me now. ^_^ I'll leave you alone.

From:

I hate Day Four and Five. I really do. And that part of EoT where you were right - hate that too. So the Doctor could save Martha and Mickey and Luke, but he tosses Jack a man instead of saving Ianto and possibly even Stephen? WTF?!?

Your fic does sound interesting, but something you said in the plot intrigues me. Perhaps you can email me and answer my curiousity. Who knows, it just might fit here after all. Like I said, I don't know your full plot, which is why I gave hints of how to go around it. ;) Anyway, you might end up having your mods discussing whether to welcome the fic or not after you drop me a line. :)

I totally understand about bringing back the whole team. When I first started to write Torchwood fanfic, I mostly focused on post Exit Wounds only because I was still watching Torchwood when I found out Tosh and Owen died. I should have stopped watching and ran. Two main characters in one ep should have been a warning, but I loved Jack and Ianto too much to turn and run. But not only do I hate what was done to Ianto, but being so soon after Exit Wounds, I just want to shout "ENOUGH!" I'm glad I had plans to bring Tosh and Owen back in TAT. Not much to do about it in TB but any new series/verses and most one shots will include full team - alive and well after Exit Wounds and beyond. This is my ENOUGH.

I also totally understand expanding fics. So get that first part in before midnight PST tomorrow and you're in.

Also, just in case - while it won't mean getting a banner, we do encourage posting fics from past challenges. If something wakes up a plotbunny go for it.

We accept everything including drabbles, so there's no word limit on a fic, chapter, part, whatever. The important thing is Ianto being non-human of some type and extended life at the least. Of course, the promise is reading a developing relationship is always good and something to look forward to.

Nah, not tired of you. Never tired of people who feel the same way we do about CoE. This is one of the reasons we have this comm. We're just taking it a step past the other denial comms out there (which I completely support!)

Better late than never. I've just started. May I have an author tag, please?

I'm going to call my immortal Ianto (and Jack, too) Wanderers. Do I need a special tag for that?

From:

Hi there! You're author tag has been created and is ready for use! *grins*

As far as the tag for "wanderer", just using the immortal!Ianto tag should be fine. Unless a "wanderer" is a type of being like an elf, vampire, wizard, etc?

Hey! I'm sorry, but could I request an author tag? pretty please?

From:

Nothing wrong with it, just been an extremely busy week. It's approved now so you can post the next chapters.

ETA - REALLY busy week, I even used the wrong comm icon when I replied LOL

Hi, I posted my first piece, but I don't have an author tag. Would it be possible to get one? Thanks

From:

Hi there! Sorry on the delay, when I approved your fic, my laptop was already shut down for the night or else I would have done it then, and I can't do tags on my Droid. Can't access LJ from work either, but I'm home now and you now have a tag. I hope to see lots of usage on it! :)

If you ever need any tags that we don't have, give a shout when posting a fic.

Happy posting! :)

From:

Hi! Did you catch my reply on the main thread? I made you an updated card and apologized about the huge delay in response (I did hope that with three mods something like this wouldn't happen, so YIKES!).
