It was great fun being a part of FoLCs [Fans of Lois and Clark]. Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher had such great on screen chemistry and many of us thought they had great off screen chemistry too! The gossip was brilliant, if you like that kind of thing. Of course many didn't, or refused to believe any of it and that split the fandom to some extent though most of us got on really well.
I think Torchwood fanfic works so well because the writers left so much room for it - and the sub text, blimey!! Also it is down to the actors as well, especially JB and GDL who gave and tantalised us so much. On screen death could not end that relationship as it just didn't, in any way, ring true - and as so many have said thank goodness for fanfic.
This fandom is slowly taking shape for me and there is so much to enjoy. It's a different world from when I was in fandom before. Then it mostly revolved around our message boards and chat rooms, so I am slowly getting used to it - when I take a break from reading!
