Love-in!

[theohsocurlyone]

Out of morbid curiosity, I suppose, I stumbled across some fairly anti-Gwen and Eve vitriol and became...well, extremely irritated by it in the end, to say the least. I feel like there's a bit too much bitterness in fandom, sometimes, so I propose...

The Gwen Cooper/Eve Myles love-in! Let's go nuts with love for the wonderful Miss Eve Myles, or

Squeee! I love Gwen so much! I come across quite a lot of hate towards her (and even Eve from some people. I don't get why some people feel the need for personal attacks). Always makes me sad to read/hear things like that. I constantly feel the need to spread the Gwen love around my journal, so yay for you making this! =D

By the way, that picture is stunning! =D

What's your favourite Gwen moment in Torchwood (or Doctor Who)? Or top three? Really, really hard to think of a single moment, but I love her in Sleeper and Adrift. And I love all of her scenes with Rhys, I just thinks he brings out the adorable side of her.
What's been your favourite Eve role? Torchwood, for definite. I haven't really seen that many of her other roles though.
What's your favourite Gwen-orientated fic you've read? I haven't really found a brilliant one. I suppose I haven't been looking in the right places.
Have you ever met Eve? What was she like? Not yet! But I will be meeting her at the Hub 2 in March, can't wait! =D
Any favourite pictures? All of them

So do I, and it always makes me flinch.

I don't get why some people feel the need for personal attacks

In this case, I have some theories, though not necessarily good ones.

I constantly feel the need to spread the Gwen love around my journal

I heartily approve! I never get enough of the Gwen-love.

I love all of her scenes with Rhys, I just thinks he brings out the adorable side of her.

You know, I don't usually like it when characters whom I love in a show fight with each other. But I love it when Rhys and Gwen fight. I particularly liked all their scenes together in "Meat", which is one of the reasons it's one of my favourite episodes.

I haven't really found a brilliant one.

We should try to make a point of

(a) writing good Gwen fics
(b) recommending good Gwen fics when we find them
(c) making a 'recommendations' cite or category here

I will be meeting her at the Hub 2 in March

Oooh, lucky!

Also..any Ianto/Gwen shippers out there? Sometimes I feel like the only one.I don

What's your favourite Gwen moment in Torchwood (or Doctor Who)? Or top three? The entirety of Something Borrowed, I love her madly in that episode. All her scenes with Rhys in Adrift. Dragging John with her in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
What's been your favourite Eve role? I haven't seen her in much, so, Gwen. Though it was awesome to see her in the Merlin pilot.
What's your favourite Gwen-orientated fic you've read? I don't see many Gwen fics - I really like dsudis' Make a Beginning, but even that is a Ianto pov. Gwen's wonderful in it, though.
Have you ever met Eve? What was she like? Alas, no. And it's unlikely, since I live too far away.
Any favourite pictures? I love the one in this post! And the ones from the comm profile. I tried to post them here, but photobucket isn't cooperating.
Anything else...? This is a lovely idea! Fandom's Gwen hate is very sad-making, so I'm always up to spreading the love.

Dragging John with her in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

John and Gwen were lovely together. I loved it when she called him "Vera".

Thanks for reccing a story!

Fandom's Gwen hate is very sad-making, so I'm always up to spreading the love.

I couldn't agree more.

What's your favourite Gwen moment in Torchwood (or Doctor Who)? Or top three? I love all of the moments when Gwen stands up to Jack. I love Gwen in DW when the Daleks are attacking and she tells Ianto they are going to go out fighting for Tosh and Owen.
What's been your favourite Eve role? Torchwood but I've only seen her in DW and TW.
What's your favourite Gwen-orientated fic you've read? I don't read TW fics and she isn't in a lot of DW so none.:\
Have you ever met Eve? What was she like? I wish
Any favourite pictures? I love the red dress, the promos photos for TW series two. Also this mag scan of Eve in her very secy underwear. I wish I knew where that photo came from.
Anything else...?I'm a huge fan and I HATE all the nasty fan reaction to Eve. And I don't like all the Gwen hate out there and bashing.

What's your favourite Gwen moment in Torchwood (or Doctor Who)? Or top three? Gun in the bouquet. Hell, everything about Something Borrowed. In the non-telly stuff, she's hilarious in Almost Perfect - I adore the speed-dating scene with Rhys, and the fact that Gwen has apparently thought about which Harry Potter house the people in her life would belong to.
What's been your favourite Eve role? I've only seen her as Gwyneth and Gwen - I've downloaded all of Little Dorrit so far, though, so I'm planning to watch that.
What's your favourite Gwen-orientated fic you've read? I'm biased because it was written for me, but Bedsocks, Chi-vores and Urban Legends by flurblewig is hilarious Gwen/Rhys/Jack.
Have you ever met Eve? What was she like? Nope, but I've heard nothing but loveliness about her.
Any favourite pictures? Can't go looking as I'm at work, but I love the pic in this comm's profile.
Anything else...? I ship Gwen/Rhys like burning, seriously. Also my crack OT3 of Jack/Gwen/Rhys, provided it's done in such a way that Ianto doesn't get

What's your favourite Gwen moment in Torchwood (or Doctor Who)? Or top three? All of Something Borrowed. With the gun against the Daleks in DW. Many, many scenes with Rhys.
What's been your favourite Eve role? Have only seen Gwen and Gwyneth so far, but I love both.
What's your favourite Gwen-orientated fic you've read? I haven't read that much, actually, but favourites definitely include: Aliens, Arguments, Showers, and Slime by settiai, Recruitment Consultancy by netgirl_y2k, and Domestic Goddess by doyle_sb4.
Have you ever met Eve? What was she like? Nope, alas.
Any favourite pictures? There are many gorgeous ones here. And the one on this post is gorgeous - she should wear more red!
Anything else...? Not much, really. Just, Gwen is adorable, and many Gwen pairings are awesome. And I really need a Gwen icon. :D
