This is a bit late, but when I have never seen a fandom with as much badfic as Torchwood. (Well, badfic that's not on fanfiction.net) Except maybe Harry Potter. I've joined fandoms lots of times, and I have never had such a hard time finding quality fic. It's mind-boggling to me.
I think part of it is - and this is also part of why I started reading slash - people who have to actually plot out ways to bring their characters together are usually the ones who write fic worth reading. If a pairing is already there, there's no work involved in writing about them. (That's not always the case - I love gen fic in fandoms - but most of the time it is!)
