Beginning Notes: This is a dialogue only piece with more than two characters so I am listing the first name initials for the character speaking.

badly-knitted I also have trouble getting into the mind of Gwen, I'll will probably never write Gwen because of it. The fan of the Harry Potter in me wants to refer to her has having a "Gryffindor" mindset. She has a way of thinking that is unimaginable to me, that is so alien to me. The only time I have ever read a story that depicts Gwen in a realistic way (as in consistent with how she is portrayed in the show and with a lack of judgement) is cjh4ever's "Five Go Mad" Series not that particular Gwen is in anyway likable (at least to me). I love Gwen bashing fics, the ones that I enjoy most are the really badly written and short, because even the most well written Gwen bashing fics tend to have the parts with Gwen tend to be of a poorer quality than the rest of the fic.

And for the record, I think there are times when Owen is deliberately vulgar because he finds it funny. But that could be me over-identifying because there are times when I swear just because I find it funny.

I love Janto Canary Wharf, Brecon Beacons, when Jack left etc. being in the field means bad things Ianto Jones. Also in my head canon Ianto has ODT (Obsessive Compulsion Tendencies) which is not the full blown disorder.

T: "And I will use Romanji**"

O: "And I want to use the other English tile sets because how the fuck are we expected to spell anything with only 1 Z, 1 K and 2 Ps."

J: "I didn't cheat."

I: "With all due respect sir, looking at the tiles before picking them up was hardly subtle."


* Cymric is an English word for Cymraeg (the Welsh language), as I am not British I have no idea how common or well known that word is.

** Romanji is the Romanisation of Japanese, it refers to the act of using a Roman/Latin alphabet to write the Japanese language.


Word: Bethump

be - thump (transitive verb) : to beat or belt soundly


End Notes: Since we have been talking about Gwen bashing, may I recommend "Turn Left, Torchwood" this series of fics are not necessarily the nicest to Gwen, it has one of my pet peeves that I find in quite a few of the longer Gwen bashing fics which is that she keeps on turning up like a bad penny. The premise of "Turn Left, Torchwood" is that each episode has one small but significant change to it and that each author must add to (not change) what the previous author(s) wrote. It only is the first season, which is sad.
