These things never happened... (and that's probably a good thing)

Stolen from jjpor because it was too much fun not to:

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Yay memes!

That story really twisted me out of my comfort zone, but I felt that it had to be done, and once I started I really couldn't stop. I think that the message of gender and identity roles highlighted by the switch is a timely one, and, while Hex's initial reactions to Doctor!Ace were difficult to write, it was interesting to track the way their relationship evolved in response to the change. The part at the end when she gets her body back and he doesn't know how to act around her and keeps looking at the Doctor unconsciously played out so well in my mind, and I hope that translated to the page.

Evil!Torchwood wasn't an original part of the story, but after the Doctor-in-Ace's body started having a metacrisis, I knew that they'd have to find outside help to solve the problem. And then agent Peters just sort of took on a life of his own. Never has an OC been quite so insistent with me that /he/ is the actual star of the story!

Gosh! I'm just blown away with that insight. Yes, that scene near the end after they return to their own bodies is fabulous!

Thank you so much, CP.

I'd love to go on and on with you about this tale, but I'm sure I should let you get back to the WIPs you have. If you ever thinf of writing a squeal to this story, I for one would love to read it and/or beta it. :)
