I've been thinking about this for a while, and while I know some people are pleased with series 4 and current direction of the show, I also know that not everybody is.
As we get closer to series 4 we're going to start to get spoilers, filming reports and a lot of squee - and for those looking forward to S4 that's great. And once it starts new fic relating to it. And there's nothing wrong with that at all, it's what fandom does; it moves with the show.
However, if you're not looking forward to it, then being around comms where everybody else is excited and telling you that you should be as well isn't everybody's idea of fun.
So the idea is this: A community for all things Torchwood series one and two, as well as pre series.
So here it is:
tw_classic
What the comm IS NOT:
A place to soapbox about the current direction of the show.
A place to rude about the shows creator or any of the actors/actresses.
A place to campaign about getting certain characters back on the show.
A place to bash characters.
What the comm IS:
A place to post for the fans of the original two series to post, art, fic and meta relating series one and two, and pre series Torchwood, discuss, chat and otherwise be fans of Classic Torchwood, in a fanwank free environment.
The comm is open to everybody who's a fan of Torchwood S1 and S2. You can still be a fan of later series (I'm not going to tell people what they should like), all the comm asks is that information relating to those series isn't posted there.
The plan at the moment is to open the comm on Saturday, with a flash fic challenge that will run until the 1st of September.
We'll also be having, monthly fic challenges, weekly themed rec posts, a caption competition and hopefully if there is enough interest, a book review club. There will also be a competition to design a header/banner for the community, with the winner getting a drabble written for them about a charcter/pairing of their choice.
