Party time again!

[wiseheart]

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

That sounds very interesting! Especially the focus on the training and selection of the crew and such, I love myself a good backstory. It's a shame they cancelled the show with so much question remaining unanswered.

Yes, backstory is wonderful - one of the things I love fic for is finding out how characters in canon ended up where they did and who they are.

It has a lot of timeline jumping back and forth, so was quite confusing on the first watch, but became clearer on rewatching. :)

I enjoy that as well! It's one of my first aspects of Torchwood, actually, figuring out slowly during the course of season 1 how Jack became the person he is in current time, exploring more facets of his personality than what he shows the world. I couldn't stand him at all at first and only came to love him through the backstory.

Very true. I didn't really like or dislike him at the start, but came to like him over the series - although also to wonder how he had got that far without gaining any common sense!

*lol* I guess that's a luxury you can only afford when you're immortal!

Very funny and true! :)

Immortal hormones... the mind boggles from the mere idea of it...
