           Sir,

I have reviewed your report dated 10/10/09 regarding the Altarian invasion:

1.       Consider revising the first paragraph.  (ex. “Once upon a time…”, “It was a dark and stormy night…”)

2.      Consider revising you final paragraph.  (ex. “And they all lived happily ever after.  Or, at least Jack did.”)

3.      Consider revising the report to contain some degree of truth.  Any degree of truth.  These reports are for the benefit of future Torchwood members and, when faced with a similar situation, they will need to know how we prevented the apocalypse, not all the permutations of a human/Altarian orgy. 

                       Ianto

1. Bwahahaha!

2. Oh, Gwen, using all the tape :) So cute :)

Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing that wooden ruler scenario...

Loved these!

Gwen seems to be constantly taping things to the walls, but no one else ever seems to.

As for the wooden ruler, that is the daily prompt over at cardiff_tales, so...maybe.

Yeah, but I bet Jack and Ianto think it's cute. And I bet Ianto buys her a special tape dispenser because Owen broke the last one...or something. :)


....mmmmm wooden ruler....I might have to do my own for that one. I haven't written nearly enough fics with spanking for those two.

Oh, absolutely write your own. There can never be too many spanking fics with these two.

*tries to resist temptation*

*fails*

...okay! But I am going to 'blame' you for it when it's done! :)

Blame away.

Oh, and by the way, I wanted to ask; is rimming a squick for you?

From: [identity profile] czarina-kitty.livejournal.com
Not at all.
*goes back to writing rimming scene*

Very cute - Love the report with the cliches. And of course Jack's very interesting list of office supplies.

I've been threatening to start my reports at work this way.
Office supplies can be fun.

Really love those two, but if I had to vote, I would choose the first one.

"Proofreading" is the funniest thing I have read all day. :D

Thank you. My boss didn't think it was funny when I threatened to write my reports that way, since they get edited and changed enough that they might as well be fiction.

Eee! Huge laughs at both of these. I love the details in both of them.

Hahaha! Ianto must have been rolling his eyes so much it's a wonder he can still see straight!

Jack's views on certain mundane day-to-day things as reports and shopping lists are eccentric to say the least =)

If you can't have fun with the mundane stuff, what's the point?

They both made me laugh. Love the different handwritings of the second one. Especially liked the end bit.

No, Jack… Just no.

I can so picture this.

Thank you.

The follow-up to the second one is about half written at this point.
