As someone who's been in slash fandom going on 12 years myself, I say: it's pretty much the same in any and all fandoms. I've lurked in some, participated in some and probably written in say, six. I don't know where all my stories are because this is my fourth 'puter. Two died ugly deaths and one is a MS ME beheomoth on my desk that isn't compatible with this surf board.
My point? I've written it all - instant re-hard on, anal sex after eating a big supper, one-finger-two-finger-three-finger-dick, the whole enchilda. Every thing. Some of it bad. Real bad. But there was evolution. And I stopped writing the anal sex act about five years ago. I'd written it all, pretty much.
And it's the same in almost all fandoms, except what makes Torchwood different: The boyz actually kiss and there's the very real possibility of mPreg. It's canon. I know they kiss in other shows, i.e. the two QaF's, but this one is more accepted for whatever reason. And, frankly, IMO, QaF was just too soapy and whiny.
15 year old girls as boy/man sex writers - it's not all 15 year old girls writing boy/man sex badly. Some are quite adult women with very active fantasy lobes. They aren't willing or able to craft a good story, they write to suit themselves.
Anyhoo. It makes finding really, really good Torchwood fic all the sweeter, eh?
