It sometimes seems to me that you have to dredge through a lot of really, really, tear-your-hair-out, gouge-your-eyes-out, scream-in-frustration BAD Torchwood fic to get to a good one, never mind a great one.

That's not to say that there aren't some really good Torchwood fics out there, because there are, but I definitely and sadly haven't had your experience. I've been in the fandom from the start, and after four years the list of fic I would actively rec to people adds up to about sixty. Out of thousands upon thousands. The majority of fiction in TW fandom seems to fall prey to character assassination, ship warring, obnoxiously bad spelling and/or grammar, or cliche heaped upon cliche.

In fact, in TW fandom I have looked at the reviews things got or read something people have praised effusively in a rec, and sometimes I wonder if the standards are set a good deal lower than in others I've been in. Maybe fandoms like Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Due South, Whedon- and Sorkin-verses spoiled me for other fandoms before I got to this one, who knows?

Still, I'm glad you've had such a good experience of fandom and of Torchwood in particular - anyone who's not having at least some fun is probably doing it wrong. :D
