sariagray replied to your post: You do realize that you’re incredible – you do realize that, right? And you realize that you make me smile even when you’re talking about things I either no nothing about or care nothing about (it took me forever to realize that Darren Criss and Criss…

There was this interesting split – people seemed to go to Sherlock or Supernatural or Glee, with a few other lesser-known fandoms thrown in. The Sherlock people seemed to be the people who liked Domestic Torchwood, the Supernatural people seemed to be those who enjoyed the hunting of creepy and mysterious things, and the Glee people seemed to be the ones who kept asking, “So, why didn’t we get a musical episode?!“ (And who appreciated the ensemble cast of Torchwood the most/or who liked writing Romantic Torchwood.)

So it wasn’t weird, completely, once I thought about it – but there was definitely a moment of, “What the heck just happened?!”

I keep thinking I’d like to reinvest in Torchwood, but the fandom has less of a chance of coming back to life than Ianto does.

I don’t know much about Glee anymore – I enjoyed the first season and lost interest in the second. What I do know is from your posts, basically – an every time I see pictures of Rachel and Kurt, I think, “D’awww, they look like mini-Gwen and mini-Ianto,“ and I enjoy laboring under that delusion.

Reblogging because this is oddly accurate, though I have to add I was also sucked into Supernatural because of the crushing angst and the fucked up humanity, which I have long relished in Torchwood.

What if we plug for a group Torchwood rewatch on the Torchwood and related tags and see if we pick up any interest? Pick a day/days each week that isn’t/aren’t in conflict with popular shows airing now, when anyone who wants to can sit down as a group and watch the show together? Kind of like a book club. Anyone who does can tag thoughts with a specific tag, and we can talk to other fans and maybe breathe some new life into Torchwood fandom.

I’m up for that. Like a livestream or something? Might be hard to coordinate but we could offer a couple of different times.

I’m still watching Torchwood for the first time but I would be interested.

Share 10 facts about yourself then pass this onto 10 of your favorite followers <3 (Right back at ya dear! I don't care that you already did it.)

See, awabubbles, I’m doing this TWICE You can do it once. Ahem.

  1. I only finished catching up on new Who in like, April, thanks to my Awesome Roommate. Who is also the one that got me to start watching Supernatural.
  2. Um, thanks to tumblr I have a tendency to start shipping things before I even watch the show. Hence falling for Janto before ever watching Torchwood, and  now I’m getting into Destiel despite only being on season 2.
  3. I have an lj account I started a couple of months ago with some badly written smut. If you really want to read it, ask, but it’s not very good. (why am I admitting this?)
  4. I did Nanowrimo for several years, but haven’t in about five, though I still think about it, and it’s part of my writing DNA.
  5. I was the co-ML for Nanowrimo St Louis for a couple of years.
  6. I remember seeing Halley’s Comet in 1986.
  7. I wrote my first story when I was 5 or 6, but unfortunately lost everything I wrote before I graduated high school when I left home. Pretty sure it got thrown away accidentally.
  8. My brother is 3 years younger then me and a lawyer. This may be another reason I identify with Dean; I tend to feel like my little brother is the smart/successful one.
  9. Up until they moved to Hawaii, my mom had a spider plant that I grew from a seed in preschool. She had that thing more then twenty years.
  10. I married my husband 2 months after we met. That was fifteen years ago.
