I just watched all five parts of Torchwood Children of Earth today, following the wank and so forth. I also skimmed an EW article interviewing Richard T. Davis out of interest. And yes, he seemed so very irritated with the fans. He didn't seem to like "gay" being co-opted as a purely fannish/pairing thing. All around very interesting.

I too love it when we the fans just get an occasional wink and a nod. Or an outright tip of the hat. Other than that, similar to what you said, I wouldn't appreciate show creators coming in and telling me what to do in my fic. So it makes no sense that we want to tell them how to proceed with their own ideas.

I'm counting on you as always to be a pillar in temple of the perv. *climbs into your lap*
