Torchwood Fandom, The Early Days

To keep myself distracted from the gloomy world outside, I've been combing through old torchwood_three posts for stories I haven't read. Which are many. (Seriously, I thought I was keeping up with Torchwood fandom back then.) Even though I was involved in the fandom at the time, and remember a lot of this stuff while it was being discussed, in retrospect it's a bit surprising to see where fans thought things were going, and where they ended up.

( Lots of things you can do with a stopwatch )

( Leakage )

( One day I'll watch you suffer and die )

( Drabbles and WIPs )

At the time of this writing, I've only just gotten to the days right after the airing of the season finale, so I don't have any post-Series 1 hiatus data yet. But it was fascinating to look back at something that I was actually in the middle of, and look at the patterns that only clearly emerged months later.

ETA: Less than a week into the hiatus. Apparently "hiatus" is code for "Begin posting all your WIPs, starting...now!"
