( And more under the cut, but I wanted to get the blatant plug out there where people would see it )

I'm disappointed; none of you asked anything really wanky, though I'd have been happy to tell the truth. I did consider cheating and adding the questions that would prompt the rants I really want to write, but that wouldn't really be in the spirit of it. (Free opinion, though: if Torchwood hadn't had a Who connection, I'd have given up on it in ( Read more... )

1. Phew, tardis_gen fic is in.
