Tie-in Joy

I was looking at iantos_desktop wondering if lorannah had posted any Children of Earth stuff. Instead I saw she made some very nice 19th/20th/21st timelines, though something very interesting on the twentith century timeline caught my attention. Since lorannah footnoted it with coming from "The Torchwood Archives" and me actually having that same book, I decided to look up the information myself.

...Those clever bastards. Lucia Moretti, one of the people mentioned in "Children of Earth" is mentioned in "The Torchwood Archives" as well. Both sources agree with her staffing date, 1968-1975, but disagree on her date of death. Torchwood Archives says 1998, CoE says 2006, and for a CoE reason, the Archives Date doesn't work.

Also, there's a lot of references to Children of Earth in the James Moran's Captain's Blog Ongoing Archive notes of a Dr. Patanjali as a young medic at the hospital asking about Torchwood. On the Lost Souls page there's also a yellow sticky post with "Why can I find no trace of Jim and Mary Sangster at the GRO?"

EDIT: Earlier in the book there are two post-its that also contain references. The first is "Who is Timothy White? and the other is "Where is Clemont McDonald?" Thanks to eawen_penallion tip-off that there were even more references.

( What all these references mean )

I wonder if there's any references to Lilian Cartwright, who works in the council offices, or SilverClaw who a member of the school computer club in any of the audioplays, books, or audio exclusives.

As much as I disliked the ending of Children of Earth, I really want to read stories about what happened afterwards to both Team Torchwood and society at large. I would write it myself, but I am not very good with UK politics. The only part I would be comfortable with would be saying Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru would get a lot of votes in the next parliamentary elections.

Or whatever their Whoverse equivalents of SNP and PC would be, as the PM's in the Whoverse haven't belonged to a recognizable party either. Though I think the only one people would even want to claim is Harriet Jones.

Who, oddly enough, had she still been PM like the Doctor said she would have been in World War III, the majority of the stupidity of Children of Earth would have been avoided. ( How Harriet Jones would have handled Children of Earth )

I've done something productive! I've, uh, organized my CD folders and ordered my Spanish book.

I've also look covetously at the Torchwood novels and Manhunter collected volumes, which is not productive in any way except wanting to get a job again.
