There's a tattered, leather bound book that sits on her nightstand. No one opens it but her, and even she rarely writes in it. Usually she doesn't think about it, but every now and again, an overwhelming need overcomes her to write down the things she can no longer say. ( The secrets she no longer has anyone to tell. )

The Pass a Note!Meme

The Rules:

-Pass a note! To another character in your muse's canon, or to someone else's muse!
-It can be text, whipped up in photoshop, done by hand and scanned in, doesn't matter!
-Spread a little love old-school style (no pun intended)

( Gwen's note to Jack )

EDIT: I've made a slight tweak to the font, actually just the lowercase "h", but I went ahead and uploaded the newer version and sample image with the correction.

I made a font for Alex this morning, and I decided to do one for Gwen too! It's based loosely on her handwriting from the Torchwood Archives (scanned so generously for me by damnfinecoffee, and while I'm aware that what they used it also a font, I wanted to do this anyway). Please feel free to yank and use if you'd like.

(Let me know if you would like it uploaded somewhere other than MegaUpload.)

ETA: I did this through http://fontcapture.com.

"The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office."
- Robert Frost

Even on the clearest of Cardiff days, when the wind from the bay hardly chills her bones on the walk towards the Plas and her coffee from the local cafe tastes a bit better than usual, she still knows all that doesn't mean just because she's at work her brain got there, too.

Working for Torchwood has it moments of frustration. Some days, that frustration caps at her inability to locate the "Select All" button on her e-mail before she hits "Delete."

Wake up.

There's something.

Just wake up.

She's not really asleep, not really quite unconscious or dead. She's aware of the fact that her legs are moving, even though she can't feel them. She feels her arm around Suzie, the sting of her shoulder as the weight of her body is near-dragged across the pier. She watches the splintered wood as her feet shuffle along, one foot in front of the other, Gwen. Keep moving, keep feeling.

( Wake up. )
