A Rec and a Problem

(Work's still crazy. I'm stealing 5 minutes. Spaced out over 2 hours.)

1) [livejournal.com profile] strangerian has written some splendid Stargate SG-1 stories and is getting her Hobbit tales back up, here. If I had all day I couldn't write a sufficient rec for her splendid stories, and I don't have all day, so I'll just say "yay!" and "read them, you'll like them".


2) I have conducted an epistolary romance with Torchwood this summer, and have read everything about the show I can get my hands on except fanfic. (I want to see the show before I read the fic.) Unfortunately, despite reports, it doesn't seem to be showing on the SciFi channel but on BBC America, which latter we can't get in my household (long story). And my inbox can't handle emailed files of that size. So, what do people recommend?

(The timing of this means I'm likely going to enter the fandom with a big wave of USAian fans, likely to the dismay of British fans watching all these American parvenus show up. I feel bad to be part of that, but oh well. All I can do is try to behave as well as possible, I guess.)

Oh, my *word*, how did I miss this till today?

You are awesome for putting up with me, and I will pop by your house and say hi and hug you and pick it up sometime early next week; details to follow in email.

*hugs you gratefully*

*squee* at the thought of you writing some Torchwoood, if it grabs you right. *squee* anyway at the hope you'll like the show just to look at.

*warning* that ep #6 is gross, in case you don't feel like coping with too much blood and whatnot. (Most episodes have some usefully dramatic blood, but I think #6 overdoes it.) *not a warning* that most episodes have snogging, and considering the actors, even a lot more snoggin wouldn't be overdoing it.

I'm told that season 2 will have Martha, and I'm less laid back than usual about seeing everything late.
