sariagrayFrom earlier this evening.
Mom: Is that...does that book say "Torchwood" on it?
Me: Maaaaybe.
Mom: It's a Torchwood book?
Me: Maaaaybe.
Mom: So it's "hardcover fanfiction"?
Me: Er, yeah, kinda.
Mom: And you paid for it?
Me: IT HAS A PRETTY COVER. SHUT UP.
Mom: So it's not any good then.
Me: ...........
Mom: Thought not.
That is all.
(It's actually not that bad).
Also - "Hardcover Fanfiction"? Yep. You guessed it. Another band name.

Date: 2011-02-04 06:21 pm (UTC)It's the pretty, pretty cover, isn't it? Y/Y? Hey, worked for me! And it is, once you get past some of the stuff that should have been edited better, one of the better written stories. Possibly one that could have been explored on the show? Actually, I just read in one of the magazine that a few of the stories were turned into books - I'll have to look it up and tell you which ones...

Date: 2011-02-04 01:50 am (UTC)I'm divided about the books, personally. I like some of them, but in a lot of others, the characters are OOC to the point of being unrealistic or unlikable (even Ianto!) and lots of the authors push Gwen/Jack like crazy.
Psst. This depends on your view on piracy. This site has free downloadable TW ebooks. http://www.freebookspot.me/ My suggestion is you look through them and then buy the ones you like best. That way you're still supporting BBC and the writers, but don't end up with a Gwacky book you hate.

And I get the whole OOC-ness...this one had Ianto making a 'whatever' sign with his hands that made NO sense. I sorta lay the book down and sighed. Because I don't think the author intended it to be an ironic, sarcastic gesture; just a bratty 90's gesture. Or something.
