For some reason all I could think of was the way they used to call John Gotti the Teflon Don ... Gwen is the Teflon Character ... just once ... oh just once...

[mjmcca]

I lived the Gotti years in NYC... that is a great comparison!

I don't know if you're aware of the slang term "Taffy" meaning "Welsh", as Wales lies on the other side of the River Taff to England.

I like to call Gwen "The Taffy Teflon Tart".

I had high hopes that she'd learn from Adrift, but apparently the obvious-self-insert-teflon-mary-sue rulebook states that they aren't allowed to do that.

I'd love to see any or all of these played out. LOL I can't decide which one I'd like best!

I like these. A lot. Any story that ends up with Ms Me-Me a goner is a must read. Sadly, in our real life, she's so teflon that she's the only character that's going to make it to a full time role if there is a season 4.

Hey, to make up for that, can you write some more stories like this?

Um... not sure how kosher this is to put this here, but I thought you might like it -- right after CoE, I wrote a drabble where a certain British producer got smacked royally by karma. Sort of along the lines of this.

And if it's wrong form to tell you here, please, accept my apologies and delete this. Don't mean to be pushy. Especially when I want to encourage you to write more.

i have in my head this horrid little story that might come to fruition, it involves 6 year old RTD playing make believe with his toys while being given a psych evaluation.

personally, i was rather fond of the suicide cult. hopefully most people got that without it being specifically stated.

[luvinthe88and20]

All of these are great awesome job.

I wish for once any of these scenarios came true.

[holdingoff]

after certain 'life is dangerous' comments, i decided that we should make that true for everyone- including little miss teflon.

[idamus]

Ah, some consequences when it comes to Gwen would be good, great job

i'm not good at the 5 things sorts of challenges, unfortunately this is all that came to mind.

*sigh* This was very good so Im off to my denial land to day dream :D

[holdingoff]

if, as a group, we can deny CoE status as canon (because really, was that Torchwood or just some really bad drama mini-series?) Then it shouldn't be a problem accepting any of these scenarios. I'd go with the first one, since it removed her from the show the earliest.

[suellen128]

I agree with you, its weird anytime somebody mentions CoE people are still going on at that person for even mentioning it.

I perfered your MEAT AU, because we still get to meet Rhys. :D
