So explain to me... (Part one)

[laligin]

In a desperate attempt to improve my Torchwood-writing, and because I have a fanfic100 claim on the entire Torchwood team, not just those members I like/understand/have a million plot ideas for, I'm asking you for help.

Explain to me, please, as politely as you can manage (I'm not here for a fight), exactly why Gwen is a good/useful/likeable character.

Because I don't quite get it. Up to... oh... about Small Worlds (episode 5) I quite liked her. Beyond that...

So, anyway. Gwen fans. I need you to tell me why she's a vital part of the team, and why I'd actually enjoy writing her if I got it right, so I can stop coming up with excuses for her absence in my fic. (Seriously. I don't really give her a starring role (or even a mildly vital role) at any point. I feel guilty.)

Help?

(Also, convince me Jack/Gwen can work.)

Oh heck yeah I agree. I think Ianto and Tosh are ten times more interesting than Gwen but ah well we don't write hte show. I really hope Ianto and Tosh get more screen time next season. And by screen time I don't mean just their one episode of the season dedicated them and then lets go back to Gwen, oh no. How about they all share!

How about they all share!

A novel idea that doesn't seem to have occurred to the writers. *pout*
