Torchwood

[fangrrl_squees]

Some - not all - fans need to get over themselves.

The next Tweeter I see saying something along the lines of "But we pulled Torchwood through such a rough time, you (the writers) OWE us!" is going to get my boot in their ass.

(and the folks who are threatening self-harm? Most of you need to get some perspective. The few of you who really mean it: GET HELP. Unfortunately, I don't know said TWeeters well enough to recognize the difference...)

Being upset about/by a story is one thing. I quite understand that. Demanding that you somehow deserve better by, er, virtue of simply being a fan, I don't understand at all.

As someone said to an earlier entry, the smell of blooming fan entitlement is in the air...

Where's the PayPal fund to buy the TW writers some very large drinks? They're clearly going to need them until the fans calm down...

As it turns out, drinks *have* been bought for certain writers - @girlpile had a whip-round... ;)

I've been furious about the way James Moran was treated on twitter last night. Completely unacceptable. Also did you know Chris Chibnall is on twitter as @chibnall....
Go @girlpile!!!

Oh thank God. Perspective.

And I'm saying that sitting next to a wife who was in floods by the end of the ep -- but hasn't turned that grief to rage or abuse.

I don't deny that I'll probably be in a flood of tears, myself, when I see the eps in a couple of weeks. But, yeah, perspective will be kept.

Still, I hope Kate feels better for a few hours' sleep!
