Arrgh. In one of those phases where I'm craving fic of a particular pairing. Anything - romance, angst, gen, snark, stabstab hatred, *anything*, and even though people are producing it steadily, it's NOT ENOUGH. :pokes Torchwood fandom: Why can't you be like Supernatural and produce fic by the bucketload on the hour ( Read more... )

What I really like about Gwen/Owen is how real they seem - they've totally got that delightfully horrible self-contained, self-involved thing of the newly coupled-up. If you knew them, you'd probably have to punch them.

oh my. This is like that time I got linked from HP forums. during which I boggled slightly. I never normally look at the stats, so maybe I ought to start searching where it's normally linked from more often...

Speaking personally, much as I adore Torchwood, I can do without stacks of (often)badly written, (usally) inaccurate, (frrquently) plot-free fanfic which would (pretty much inevitably) centre almost exclusively around sex.

And, infortunately, sifting through the dross for the (rare) well written, (infrequent) believable, (virtually non-existent)plot-heavy, (unlikely) virtually sex-free gems is something I have neightrer time, energy or inclination to do.

I mean when I was involved in fan-writing, my efforts weren't *good* by any stretch of the imagination (in most cases, they were barely adequate), but, sad to say, they were better than a lot I saw. the world of fan writing is better for the absence of my contributions and would be *far* better for the absence of any that are worse than mine (and a lot easier to navigate)

You're talking to someone (along with Taz) who's now got to the stage of going 'oh. sex.' :yawns, scrolls past the sex scene: in several fandoms. Torchwood, there is a certain amount of sex, but it's a fairly sex-free plot/character snippets-focussed fandom for all the fact that it contains Captain Jack Harkness.

Well, avoiding fanfiction.net means that you avoid a lot of the really bad stuff.
