Torchwood fan wibbling

[rm]

Just listened to the Torchwood audiobook In the Shadows and man, was that ridiculous and satisfying.

But then! Someone had to go and link me to this: http://tinyurl.com/l8u2nu which arguably contains implied spoilers for Children of Earth that are really fucking distressing even if I've been saying for months that Ianto is not going to die and the rumour mongering is just the usual fan wank and drama.

Really, it's so ridiculous. Hello, I went through the Snape thing. I was ready for that. I'm only bummed his death wasn't more epic (snake bubble to the head? really?). But Ianto! Not my favorite character, but the one it would definitely break my heart to see go. I'd analyze that for you all, but it's so hardly necessary I'd like to pretend to keep my dignity on the subject, but NOW I'M REALLY FUCKING FREAKED. And can't, apparently, stop listening to really depressing stuff on last.fm.

Trauma!

Yeah. My first dip into active canon fandom and, hopefully, my last.

I have no idea what I'll do if Torchwood bails on my, I've got huge amount of my recreation tied up in it; the RPG, the rec community, people I know in fandon and I have no idea if I'll be able to continue in some fannish AU mentality where the canon isn't real for me.

Then again, I've been able to ignore Owen and Tosh's death.

Plus, I'm not seeing any other fandom I'd be interested in. I know a lot of folks liked the new Star Trek re-boot but I wasn't particularly excited by it and seem to have no interest in fanning the characters. I dislike Supernatural intensely. Arg - where will I go? I'll fan-homeless!

Remember the idea of AUs is canon to this fandom at least.
