See... the thing is...

When you DECLINE my request to join the [livejournal.com profile] savecoffeeboy community, a request I submitted in order to attempt to find out if this MASSIVE PDF was an official document of yours, or a personal project, you really make yourselves look like you're up to something if not suspicious, at the least really rather bordering on the crazy side.

I've PM'd you guys and I've mailed you, whoever's in charge of this document:

TAKE MY NAME, MY WORDS, MY COMMUNITY, MY PONY CAMPAIGN AND MY IMAGES OUT OF YOUR GARGANTUAN FILE OF BATSHIT. I am not affiliated with your insanity.

If it had been possible for Jack to really fall in love with Ianto, I would have loved their relationship but it's been obvious for a while that Ianto would never be anything more than another passing lover for Jack, at least as far as the producers were concerned. I do question the writers dragging the Jack/Ianto thing out over the course of three series though, as it made their relationship seem more serious than it was intended to be.

You're right that the BBC are less inclined to do something because of a fan campaign than US networks. RTD will only ever bring Ianto back if he personally thinks its a good idea.

I think that we are meant to see the relationship as serious, and RTD and Euros Lynne genuinely believed that they were telling a beautiful love story. However RTD has a rather skewed idea of love and the equality of relationships and I think that is what ended up being played out. He likes to leave it to the end to show any sort of emotion from his distant hero, such as The Doctor with Rose, or Jack in the death scene, because otherwise it all has to be in subtext. I do think that the radio plays were a much warmer view of them, as are some of the books. (which I don't think are necessarily canon, the plays are though. )

Thing is, RTD no longer works for the BBC. Yet he is spouting about season 4. I'm still very dubious about it all. I imagine the BBC aren't really certain of anything with a new government coming, and the Tories are hardly friendly to them.
