Livejournal is still being spectacularly rubbish at the moment, you'd have though they might have learnt from the ddos attack in April a better way to deal with, but apparently not.

Which is more than a bit annoying as I wanted to post to tw-classic with a 'we've been running for a whole year today' post. And get people to suggest the sort of things that they'd like to happen on the comm.

So far we're running a monthly fic prompt, a weekly themed fic rec, and will be hosting a classic Torchwood big bang starting in October.

There has been the suggestion of having a lost files challenge - case fic set any when pre-series three.

I'd also like to get going a weekly chat thread (idea is shamelessly borrowed from primeval-denial) so people can talk about Torchwood,the wider Who 'verse, what they are writing, reading, listening to and just generally chat about anything fandom, or well anything really.

Like I said the idea is borrowed from Primeval-denial, it just seems to work so well at keeping a friendly, active fandom going even when for a couple of years their show was cancelled.

You might want to consider opening a copy/mirror of the community over here on Dreamwidth. For all that I still have a Livejournal account, I'm pretty much avoiding the place like the plague because of the continual problems. If I can find a community I liked or followed over here, I'm much more likely to join and participate in it then trying to keep up with it over there.

I did start setting up a mirror comm for tw-classic here on dreamwidth as I did on LJ, haven't got any further with it than creating the comm and copy/pasting the profile.

Shouldn't take too much work to copy some of the stuff over.

This might be the inscentive to get it up and running over here too, as it's been pretty quite over on LJ even without the ddos.
