Note to Self, re: fanfic.

When perusing a Dr. Who/Torchwood fanfic archive, remember that "OFC" is not simply indicative of content--it is a warning, and should be listed in the "Do Not Want" filter alongside DeathFic and RPS.

What is it about the Whoniverse that attracts so many fucking Mary Sues? Upon reflection, I blame John Barrowman. Because, really--self-insertion is as close as a woman is going to get.

((And yes, yes, I meant to say that.))

The only Who/TW fic I've been able to get through with out wincing have been crossovers with Stargate Atlantis and Supernatural by writers in those fandoms I already read.
It seems the majority of fanfic in any fandom is written by middle school girls with not nearly enough imagination.

I must admit, I've read some damned good Torchwood fic in the last couple of months. I tend to stick to slash (Janto) with a generous helping of Angst or H/C, with the occasional bit of well-written kink. I also like Bastard!Owen fics that really play up his jerk potential but then surprise you with something uncharacteristically sweet that still somehow manages to stay in-character. Those are DAMNED hard to find.

If you like and of that, I can send you a couple links...

Yes! To both Ianto and Owen fics! 'Cause you know Supernatural and Atlantis don't take up nearly enough of my free time. *g*
