My main issue with challenges/prompts is that the stories are always so short - I like epics, long series' or just big chunky stories. That said, I don't begrudge anyone else liking prompts, just not my cup of tea. Myself, I don't like when writers I trust to write Jack and Ianto the way I see them, suddenly change the dynamic. It's their right I know, but that upsets me more than prompts.

I don't know about Ianto, it depends on whether they want to go the DW, X-files - a man/woman duo only kind of thing for S4 (or there is no S4 - your belief I think).

I can barely open up manips. If I do, I'm usually squinting at them from underneath the table, I find them really embarrassing. So I probably won't be looking at your manips, sorry.
