Torchwood is a 'pretty much anything goes' fandom. That includes genderswitch fic. I don't have a problem with that, per se, except when it is done badly.

It's a rather popular misconception that arranged is the same as forced. I could've ranted about that too, but I was too much WTF do these people arrange marriages for some of their children?
Neighbour James Brown was the Doctor -- or so it was implied -- incognito and spouting advice. Could have been interesting if he'd actually behaved like the Doctor and had tried to help Ianto reverse the "gift" rather than help him accept it.
Ah, yes, cos the Doctor has nothing better to do than live undercover in Cardiff pretending to be The Godfather of Soul and dispensing advice to gender-shifted colleagues of old friends of his. ::boggle::

The only entertainment I would get from reading this fic would be picturing She-anto's neighbour as being THE James Brown.
