I did! I normally try to keep it around this short, but my extreme laziness about going to get it cut means it actually spends more time being long than short.
I think I would actually enjoy the books more if they were written like badfic. I fucking love badfic.
I actually do too. It's getting ridiculous right now. UGH, I NEED A HAIRCUT. I'm tempted to try and cut it myself, but I don't think that would end well.
You and Em. She used to just IM me bits of badfic while we were at work because apparently SHE LIKES IT WHEN OTHER PEOPLE SUFFER TOO. What even. (Did you ever e-mail her back?)
I'm so awful at e-mail. Okay, I'm putting it on my list RIGHT NOW. I feel like such an asshole. I am pretty terrible at e-mail all around. (Unless you are mcwonthelottery and I am e-mailing you the detailed summary of a House/Torchwood crossover at three am. I mean, I am still an asshole there, but in a different way.)
REAL TIME IM CONVERSATION FROM EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON:
mcwonthelottery: "Tosh only appears to do weird, background, fake!science stuff and has zero characterization" mcwonthelottery: see also, book 1 of the TW Book Club pocky_slash: See also: Most episodes of the show
Also, I am totes making bingo cards. That's why I'm collecting as many tropes as possible XD
pocky_slash: "I put the Torchwood discs back in random order." mcwonthelottery: "But that screws up Toshiko's arc!" pocky_slash: "Ahahahahah! Toshiko's arc! That is the most ridiculous thing you've said all weekend."
I would like them more if they didn't have such a mind of their own? idk. I mean, it's not an unmanageable level of curly/frizziness, but I have very little control in how they look from day to day. LAME.
I'm reading your list of prompts and immediately thinking, "Oh, I remember that badfic. Oh and the one there. And hey, three of these were in that one I read at 4 a.m. when I couldn't sleep!" I'm not sure what that says about me... or the internet... or the "quality" of TW fic.
These are tropes pulled out of my head based solely on the last like, three days of reading badfic. I've recently read TWO fics where Jack decides to leave Ianto alone in a room with his accused rapist to see who's telling the truth. TWO. He's really got a cupboard full of "Worst Boyfriend Ever" mugs to go with the "Worst Boss Ever" mugs.
I feel like he's oddly proud of them. Or oblivious. You know, "I've got it! Let's leave Ianto and his abusive raping ex-boyfriend alone in the Hub to tell who's telling the truth! But before we go, someone pour me a mug of coffee, eh? ::brandishes mug::"

Secondly:
Tosh only appears to do weird, background, fake!science stuff and has zero characterization
*COUGH* THE ACTUAL SHOW *COUGH* NOT ALWAYS BUT UH *COUGH*
Ahem. Sorry. Seem to have had something in my throat there. But badfic bingo looks fun! I kind of want to make cards.
