A Matter of Time (COMPLETE)

Download a PDF or an eBook here.

A time travelling, action-adventure, romance-filled science fiction romp ensues when Ianto runs into Jack in the fifty-first century after an accident with a vortex manipulator. Laser blasters, alien dance clubs, mercenaries, a little too much public sex for Ianto's tastes, sneaky plans and circular logic can be found here.

Glossary (read after chapter 8, unless you want to be spoiled on some details)
 
A complete list of my fic is now at my fic journal, [info]demotu_writes .

Do you have an account at Teaspoon? I was searching for your fic there, and I could not find you.

No, I don't. Should I?

Well, *I* think so -- but I think every (good) Whoniverse author should. ;)

Well. Maybe I'll look into it. I don't frequent it myself - I prefer lj communities - so it never occurred to me. Thanks!

Hello! *waves* I'm loving A Matter of Time, so thought I'd have a poke around your other stuff =)

Just thought I'd let you know that the link to 'Love's Labour's Lost' is broken/missing/or something...

Oh, thanks for the heads up! Will fix.

Looking forward to reading this! I love your writing, and I'm just waiting until I have the time to sit down and read it all at once!

Hey, what a coincidence, I was just about to comment on "strictly professional"! :D
30 Sep (UTC)
Lol, please do! (I love comments :D)

Hi! Haven't read this yet, but definately will do! Just wanted to say that coverart is amazing!
01 Oct (UTC)
I think so too - but it's not by me, it's by [info]madeira. She has more stuff at her (new but being added to) the comm, [info]polaroidburn. Her work is GORGEOUS.

Hi, I know this is a long shot but do you by any chance have a single file version of your story that you'd be willing to email me at amalthia at gmail.com? your story was highly recommended to me and I'd love to read it. :)

Thank you for your time.

p.s. I'm okay with Word/RTF/HTML.
04 Oct (UTC)
Of course I do! I'll send it over.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you'd be interested in having A Matter of Time made into an ebook, which I would then cheerfully pimp for you on, say, [info]kindledfans. (It would actually work on any mobipocket-compatible device or reader.)

If you have the story in a single .rtf, .doc, or .html file, I'd be happy to convert it for you. (I'd then send it back to you, so you'd of course retain complete control over where it's available.) My email address is melina123 at gmail.com, if you're interested! If not, thanks for listening anyway :)
07 Oct (UTC)
Yes, sure, I'd be happy if you did that! I don't have a kindle but I think of them wistfully every now and then...

I can email you a .doc file of the whole thing no problem.

By ''maybe you fix it before the end'' does that mean you haven't finished it yet? Because I certainly do, but I won't say how if you haven't got there yet.

Thanks!
11 Nov (UTC)
Yeah, I hadn't gotten to the end... which is why I deleted the comment, as soon as I saw you'd fixed it.
11 Nov (UTC)
No problem! I am on the lookout for continuity errors, since there, er, was a lot of continuity necessary. ;)

This was amazing!
A matter of time captured every bit of my attention from start to finish. The writing style you used was gorgeous and I loved every minute of it, from the smut to the serious stuff from the emotional to the action, everything was brilliantly timed and of the right amount, it was never too much, but always just enough. It was awesome and gorgeous and just plain wonderful.
16 Nov (UTC)
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

I'm looking to read this all on one page, but the link you gave doesn't have that option. It just has the option to download the PDF or Ebook versions. Just thought I would let you know.
02 Dec (UTC)
Yep, I know. There were some html formatting errors in that version, and I had to take it down because I haven't had the time to go back and redo it. The PDF is the only option for all in one go for now, i'm afraid.
19 Dec (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I downloaded the PDF fic. I am going to comment after reading. Awesome cover by the way!
29 Jan (UTC)
I just saw this recommended on [info]myfanwy_reads and rushed right over. Just thought you'd like to know!

Grin.

Downloading as I type. Great idea doing it all in one pdf.

30 Jan (UTC)
Caveat: the PDF has more errors than the chapters posted on lj, because I've never re-edited the 100,000 word document. But other than that, thanks, and enjoy it!
30 Jan (UTC)
lol at the above comment. we were recced to rec it and now I am doing just that, officially. Also, I'll have to read it again, I loved this fic. :D
30 Jan (UTC)
Thank you! I'm glad you loved it enough to rec it.
18 Feb (UTC)
Just finished reading the whole thing and all I can say is... I think I've fallen in love with you. @_@

It was a great story and I really do thank you for writing it.
18 Feb (UTC)
Thanks very much!

Just wanted to pass on thanks for making this available as a single file. I've been trying to raise awareness that there are fans with chronic pain and disabilities who appreciate not having to spend so much time clicking through long stories or trying to piece things together. I will be reading this with the assistance of a computer voice, on an iPod. You saved me loads of effort to gather the story parts for conversion to speech, and I will enjoy this story even more for that. I will be able to do PT and walk on a treadmill while reading, instead of sitting behind a keyboard which causes me pain.

Thanks for being ahead of the curve!

Hey, you are very welcome! I confess I was just thinking in general of people who like to download to read offline, or to print, but thanks for pointing out that isn't the only thing it's useful for. I'll keep that in mind for any other multichapter things I do.
