Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

Found something very interesting yesterday - gingerminx... Oh lord, I knew I wasn't alone! :)

And in case you need more persuading that there was a viable slash pairing in Dr Who long before Captain Jack Harkness, then have a look here.

Saw your post, hit the link, whilst crossing my fingers that it was Five/Turlough. Yessss! I'm not the only sad mad bastard around.

I'm afraid Turlough is another example of before-I-knew-what-it-was... something about him and the Doctor, just didn't have a label for it. ;)

Me too.

I adored Turlough, in a wow-he's-evil-but-strangely-hot kinda way from the moment he turned up. And Planet of Fire was the only story I taped and kept from the days when videotape was freaking expensive. But although I had an inkling of what slash was at the time--I was a teen into Star Trek and had heard the term bandied around, in a "isn't that sick" sort of tone--it would be years before I realized that *I* was a slasher and further realized why Five and Turlough had so got under my skin.

Helped, I think, by the age I was when Turlough arrived and that I didn't like any of the other companions (and little did I know things were destined to get worse in that regard, but that's another story...).

The getting tied up and/or smacked around didn't hurt either. ;)

Tied up and smacked around definitely doesn't hurt. ;)

I may just have to join some Who comms. Like I have time to read/write/vid another fandom.

Hey, get back to the fandoms I like! :P

That would be Pros, right?

Just kidding.

That's not buddies! :(
