Thank you. Some of the TW (and, frankly, DW) fic I've been reading lately has be all kinds of WTF at the response. Well, of course Ianto would never mind Jack giving John a one-off as a departing gift. Sure, Tosh adores it when Owen treats her like shit, and because she a masochist, it only make her love him more. And how could Rhys ever compete with sexy!virile!time-traveling!swash-buckling Jack for the heart of the fair Gwen, whose dedication to her husband flies out the window when Jack drops his pants.
I'm all for hot sex, but a lot of what I've read lately is just cold porn. It's names ascribed to characters I don't recognize, acting in ways which are utterly bizarre and unfathomable to me. And, hey, I love a good AU, but a good AU retains the core identities of the characters while putting them in different situations. I just...yeah.
