Torchwood House was a Livejournal community where members recommended Torchwood fanfiction, meta, art, vids and more. It was a closed community with reccers added by invitation only.
In 2009, Torchwood House held the first (and possibly the only) Captain's Awards, or Jacks Awards, to award vidders in the Torchwood fandom. Voting was open to the public.[1]
About Torchwood House
Our goal is to rec all the fic we find to be well written and entertaining in the Torchwood fandom. Along the way, we’ll rec vids, art, meta and other stuff as it strikes our fancy. We have a simple motto: If it’s Torchwood, it’s ours. ::grin::
That said, it’s a pretty lofty goal, and there are a lot of things worth reccing. Hopefully, all of you have discovered patience among your list of virtues, because we’re in it for the long haul and it’s gonna take some time.
What we won’t do is sacrifice quality for quantity, or make negative comments within the community regarding fic, authors, series, etc. We will never tell you what not to read.
We will try to provide as broad a spectrum of works as possible. While Jack/Ianto is prevalent, gen fic and other pairings are out there. All of us really enjoy knowing that our recs are helping others find the fics they’ll enjoy. That’s what we’re about.[2]
