I've run out of good Whofic to read, and I can't read the Torchwood stuff yet because Cody wants to watch series 2 together. Save me from the epic 28 part Ten/Martha nobody asked for, people!

(I'm quite in favor of Ten/Martha, but Sturgeon's Law prevails. Oh god, it prevails.)

I think we need to write a new law of fanfic to the effect of: the more chapters a fic has, the more likely it is to be crap. Torchwood fandom, at least, is laden with 100+ part epics that are virtually unreadable.

(You haven't seen the second season yet? It contains significantly less fail than the first.)

100+? Seriously? What could a person possibly need to say that requires that many parts? You're writing slash, not War and Peace. I may have a moral obligation to write Torchwood that isn't shite, if only to lower the Sturgeon's Law percentages.

(Also, of all the people in the world and all the people in Torchwood to have sex dreams about, I have one with Ianto. WTFbrain? )

I think the answer to that first question is "a lot of cheesy and overly sentimental sex scenes." Torchwood has a lot of ridiculously OOC Jack/Ianto fics that involve Jack and Ianto getting all monogamous and married and, frequently, some kind of mpreg. I think you do, in fact, have a moral obligation to write non-shite Torchwood fic.

Speaking of which: there is NOTHING WRONG with having Ianto sex dreams. I'd totally hop the fence for Ianto, if he weren't fictitious. Suits + sarcasm = YES PLZ.
