Ladies and Gentlemen, My Mother....

From 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.

Not every book has to be a literary giant *speaks in defense of her beloved TW books*. That said, some of them are actually pretty bad :/

I actually do like this one, the more I read. But at the time I was just...there were some grammatically incorrect things and it made me a bit woozy. :) But I'm liking it now and am almost done with it!

I think they get better the later I read. This one deals with a lot of Season 2 stuff, so the characterization is much better and more accurate and whatnot than some of the others I've read. ;)

Which one is it? I have them all and I do love the later ones much more. One of my favourites is Twilight Streets - it has such potential. But the last three are my favourites, with Consequences topping it completely. They let Jack show the most care toward Ianto in those.

lol It's The Twilight Streets. :)

I know why you bought it *does happy dance in sing-song voice*

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...
