We recently finished watching series one of Torchwood on DVD, which we really enjoyed, for the most part (we really did not take to "Random Shoes"!). The "Captain Jack Harkness" episode in particular was all of my historical fiction dreams come true :)
Somehow, contrary to my usual behavior, I have not delved into Torchwood fanfiction -- because I find myself too busy wandering around in Professionals fandom! Now, mind you, I've never seen so much as a single episode of this show (*note to self - get busy researching DVD region converting technology!*), but that has never stopped me before -- I spent many hours in college reading Starsky and Hutch fanfiction before I had access to a television and some episodes to watch. And then there were all of those Sentinel fanfics (although when I actually watched the show I was awfully disappointed -- I just don't see any chemistry between those two)...
This is making me behave like more of a lurker than usual, since I feel odd commenting on stories when I have no idea how true to character they really are. Also, I feel like a kid in a candy shop -- for the last few years I've been reading mostly in wonderfully-written but miniscule fandoms. A big, long-established fandom is rather overwhelming!
All this rambling here is taking up reading time -- enough!

How are you doing -- drop me a line sometime.
