Gwen, an apology
A few of my friends recently have posted in their journals about the amount of anti-Gwen vitriol that they've seen, and wondering why there is so much.
So I, being me, replied, explained why I didn't like her and tried to join the discussion.
I didn't realise it was a rhetorical question. Nor did I realise that there's been a lot of anti-Gwen stuff around, because the fandom places I hang out in are Twitter and my flist. This does not cover any of the major non-fic communities or AGA. I had no idea it was going on. So when I saw stuff in my flist asking why people dislike Gwen... I thought they were honestly asking.
Being lonely, bored and procrastinating, I felt like answering it.
So, basically, I didn't know the context, and I apologise for joining in where I shouldn't have. Apparently the fandom is full of Gwen hate that people on my flist don't want to see. My flist is mostly full of people who like Gwen, and I keep feeling like I have to justify my dislike. I shouldn't feel like I have to, and I shouldn't try. So I'll stop.
ETA: I don't think most of the people I'm apologising to are actually friends with me, so they won't see this.

He only has about six characters in total, and they just come around with different faces. He used them all in Torchwood, some twice (Rhys and Andy, for example. Jack and Jack. Dianne and Suzie)
