Being ace with a crush...

Is well intentioned friends suggesting you have fantasized about doing increasingly sexually intimate things with said person when in fact what you really want is endless cuddles and someone to cook dinner with and do cute romantic shit with.

The same well intentioned friends who want you to do something about said crush when you're perfectly happy pining from over here thank you.

Outside the BBC, beyond the TV series

Well, seems like people are on board with the idea. In a fandom that adores Ianto Jones, I shouldn't be surprised that people want an organised searchable archive of the different works!

So I've extended the subscription and the servers are paid for for the next 4 years. \o/

Some people have expressed interest in helping: thank you! To avoid putting a (very) long post in everyone’s dashboard, more below the cut.

Before that though, I feel the need to point out that, if we go by pseudos, more Jacks than Iantos volunteered to help with this and that just feels wrong! lol

#!!! this is incredible! #I feel like this could be really really useful to people #and honestly having something so official as this for our small fandom would make me feel quite proud #I think all of the filters you gave as examples are good ideas but I think prices is another good one #idk I’ll probably end up messaging you with more thoughts but this is really exciting! #torchwood #big finish #references #edit: outside the BBC beyond the TV series 😂😂😂😂😂 omfg I love it

I mean...as I said...this feels quite right for the fandom that champions Ianto Jones! He would be proud of us!

Good thinking on price, it might be a deciding factor for people who want to buy some Big Finish stuff within budget. We can just leave that field empty for older BBC stuff where depending on country and book seller, prices may vary highly.

I don’t know if there’s a Torchwood discord or slack or something like that we could use to discuss this. If not, I could create one so that we can talk about categories/filters/etc.

I’d be happy to help, let me know what I can do. :)

#oh hell yeah!!!#i don't know shit about designing websites etc. but this sounds like an AMAZING idea???#i'm in however i can help!

Thanks for offering! I think ways people could help are threefold:

Help gather all the informations. I already have some of it (see the Torchwood EU wiki link in my description) and some is available from the Tardis fandom wiki but others like relationships or prices I’ll have to gather. So I was thinking of putting the spreadsheet I use online and people could help fill it out so that I can then feed the website with that. If I remember correctly, @javic-piotr-thane​, you already has some stats on the audios you could feed into that spreadsheet.

Help gather cover images. The Big Finish ones I already have neatly labelled as they’re given with the audio files. But for the older stuff, I’ll need to do a google search and download them. If someone already has them or can do that, it’ll save me some time.

But most importantly: review, review, review! We’re blessed to have a big extended universe and many on-going Torchwood ranges (even new ones with Captain John Hart and Soho!) so it can be daunting for newcomers. Even once the audios are filtered by character/ship/price/etc, I’m fairly sure that people will rely on reviews from other fans to spend their money first on things universally loved. And if more people buy the stuff we love, Big Finish will make more of it: everybody wins! \o/

Anyway, next week is going to be busy work-wise but I’m on a break the week after that so I’ll probably kick things off then. Thank you again for being willing to help.

#torchwood#omg yes#perhaps a timeline page or note as well as it can be difficult to figure out where a book/audio comes in the torchwood timeline

Yep, timeline is definitely going to be one of the fields for each audio. I was thinking maybe something very general for the filters (during series X, between series X and X) and a more specific field in the audio page (between episode so and so).

I’d need to look into how much work it would be to have a specific timeline page.

Hello we haven’t met yet ☺️👋🏻

As someone who was very lucky to have friends who are into BF to help me know where to start, I’d be more than happy to help on this project. Personally I think the filters should be similar to those we find on places like AO3, filter by relationship, genre, characters, author, director etc.

If it’s of any help to you I’m also figuring out whereabouts each audio fits within the big Torchwood timeline. This might be a point of interest for some people? For example, Fall to Earth fits somewhere between Cyberwoman and Small Worlds. Idk if that’s actually interesting but still.

Hi! Nice to to virtually meet you!

Yep, we should definitely add director for the audios. If we decide to add genre, I’ll need someone to fill that field for me because I am rubbish at identifying genre! lol

Oh, I love people who try to work out the timeline! That’s what started me on recording the different works of the EU. However, this is something tricky and I would love it if you could check whether or not you agree with where I put stuff in the timeline!

Mini hiatus

Just a quick note, I won't be around for a few days because my sister who I adore is getting married this weekend.

Reminders:

Feel free to @ me, send asks or messages if there's something you want me to see or life’s just being evil. I will send you all my love when I get back 😘
