Random idea.
First I just wanted to ask - are there any other active Torchwood rec communities other than Janto_recs and Torchwood_house? I had a look around today and couldn't find any, but maybe I'm missing the obvious. I'm asking this because I'm interested in starting up a new rec community and would like some help to get it going as well as other reccers :) Janto_recs is good but it's just Jack/Ianto and not massively active at the moment. Torchwood_house has some brilliant stories but they tend to be from authors who have a lot more experience and I personally find it a little intimidating as a young writer still trying to find my feet.
What I'd like to do is set up a rec community for fics that don't necessarily have to be the best, but have good plot, characterizations and are generally just a good read. There are a lot of young writers in this fandom (I'm certainly one of them) who want to learn and improve but could maybe do with some encouragement as well as criticism. Of course, there are also many writers in this fandom who write brilliant, engaging stories but don't get enough recognition for them.
It would be all pairings, genres, crossovers welcome. I'm not sure about including CoE stories, as I consider that to be seperate from the previous two seasons, but I can decide on that later.
So yeah, if I went ahead with this, I would need a few people to help out with moderating, layouts, banners and of course reccers :) Also someone who could pimp this out for me! If you're interested, or know someone who might be, leave me a comment here.
