beccaelizabethI have now caught up with reading fanfic.
I seem to have read every Jack/Ianto fic in existence.
Or at least every one on the Torchwood Three community newsletter.
This may not sound impressive
but
I only started at New Year.
*headdesk quietly*
Most of them I liked are in Memories. Some are on del.icio.us (sp?) because they weren't on LJ.
Very, very, very few of them have an actual plot.
I shall therefore be greatly distinctive as a writer if I actually get around to the writing part any time soon.
It isn't that I don't like sex. Or happy snuggly stories. Just they get a tad bit samey when they're stripped of context, outside events, and anything beyond description.
Suits and braces and stopwatch and coffee are all yaay, yes, but I rather like the saving the world parts, you know?
Also, have long since had enough of suicide.
At this point I'm reduced to giggling about it, or just closing the story.
Because past a certain point it just goes road runner.
Also also, I appear to have guilt about reading NC17 stuff involving the Doctor.
Finding some of it involving extreme kink and stuff that only immortals can get away with I could in fact have lived without.
... in a pass the brain-o sense ...
... come to think, there *is* a good use for retcon ...
PS Have noticed I have about 137 stories Memoried yet have sent, er, possibly about 13 bits of feedback.
Feedback to Torchwood fandom: You don't suck! On the whole. Most of the time. Especially the stories with capital letters, paragraphs, punctuation, spellcheckers, and (rare wonder) beta readers. In fact, y'all look really a lot like most fandoms. With lots of fanfic in.
Slightly short on MPreg, considering, but I'm sure that'll be fixed shortly.
... slightly less sarcastic feedback: There's a bunch of good stories out there.
The hot ones I can't FB on because I blush too much and sometimes steam up my glasses. But there are some that are very hot.
And a lot of angsty drabbles. Angsty drabbles and ficlets, never going to be in short supply.
I'll have to go through all the stories again to make any sort of recs post. May be some time.
