Mistress Torch at your service

Mistress Torch here.

Ooh! First Post, I'm 1/2 giddy, 1/2 scared and 100% insane.

It's only polite to introduce yourself when you're going to share your ramblings with the world I think, and so here's my very first post; a ramble on about who Mistress Torch is and why in fact she feels the need to start blogging in the first place.

Mistress Torch (aka Jo) was born somewhere in the north-east of England (there may or may not be Magpies nearby) in 1984, to two strangely normal parents. Mistress Torch lives with Master Torch and her parents in a very small house that creates a vaccum of tension, which eventually leads to arguments and tears on a daily bases, but also allows for her to be close with her whole family. It is suspected that at some point during her childhood she may have been dropped on her head, resulting in a strange sense of humour and the ability to ramble on about absolutely nothing at break-neck speed.

She has dark brown hair (or blonde, or black, or pink- depending on what comes out o the bottle), hazel-coloured eyes and a cute little button nose (or so her family tell her). Mistress Torch is 5ft 6 in six inch heels and has an uncanny ability to shrink to 5ft 0 by simply removing her shoes. Mistress Torch can be spotted a mile off, typically recognised by leather wrist straps, netted fingerless gloves and more eyeliner than a kiss reunion tour. Her natural habitat is on her sofa drinking Jack Daniels and watching Torchwood and/or surfing around forums as well as talking to a fantastic girl who is her self-confessed fangirl (even though Mistress Torch is sure that she's just trying to flatter her or get her into bed - either way is fine.)

She's got a bit of an obsessive personalty, and so from time to time throws herself completely into the world of fandom (the pretty men are just a coincidence of course) and worships it for a little while until it dissapears and she finds another to worship. At the moment Mistress Torch has thrown herself into the world of Torchwood.

If you don't know what Torchwood is then:
1) Why are you reading this blog in the first place?
2) Shame on you!
3) Look it up!

The reason for this blog is to make a record of the mind-shenannigans of Mistress, and to give what she feels to be an accurate portrayal of a fan's view to the show. There is one thing that pisses Mistress Torch (abb. MT) off, and one thing only:

Those so-called fans who say they like the show, yet slag off every detail of it. NEWSFLASH: if you don't like the chracters, storylines, writing, direction, production, plot and general concept do not call yourself a fan. You are not a fan. You are an arsehole posing as a fan (usually in order to hang around forums and piss fans off and give them a very bad reputation)

*steps off soapbox*

So MT is therefore creating a 'happy blog', now this isn't to say that she can't criticise. MT can be nice about an epsode at the same time as pointing out flaws, but she prefers to be constructive about it instead of detrimental.

It's worth pointing out that MT is a Jack/Ianto shipper and much in favour of slash, so her posts will be featuring slash heavily.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that get's pissed off by the so called fans who constantly pick holes in the show,the writing,the acting and so on and so forth.
Torchwood is the best show on the box and deserves to run and run.
