It was the name he went under in the Jon Pertwee era, and the name he took as a teacher of physics in School Reunion.

Only one chapter up so far but the OC, name of Blaidd Drwg, is showing clear signs of Suvianism.
Title: Blaid Drwg
Author: JaqueDark/SpiderGirl/BlaiddDrwg
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who or Torchwood.
Rating: PG-13, let's go with that.
Characters: The Doctor, Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Blaidd Drwg, Iola Drwg
Couples: John/Blaidd, Jack/Ianto, Gwen/Rhys.
Summary: Blaidd is an eighteen year old girl who lives a rather meagre life until one night she finds someone in her room trying to steal her coat.
Note: I'm new at posting on LiveJournal so if this all goes horribly, terribly wrong I'll do my best to fix it. I'm not new to fanfic though, been writing for at least eight years both fan and original so if it's rubbish just tell me to get on my bike and... pedal.

Or do I have the Welsh backwards and "Blaidd" is the part of the phrase that means "wolf?"
Either way, dumb name and shamelessly ripped from "Boomtown." -

'Cause apparently her parents just hate her that much...
...*coughSuecough*
Actually the part that got me was where she seems to know all about the entire Torchwood team. Without, y'know, getting her memory wiped or anything. To the point where she wanders through their base while they're out and swipes stuff. Because that's so plausible... :P -

Old friends of Ianto, Gwen and Jack (!) keep popping up, knowing all about Torchwood. I thought these people were very good at keeping secrets (except for the part where they drive around in an SUV cleared marked TORCHWOOD). Ianto kept a cyberwoman in the basement, Jack never tells anyone anything about himself and Gwen didn't want to give Rhys retcon any more because she needed to be able tell someone about her day.
Or perhaps the Torchwood that is shown on the Eastern hemisphere is different than that on the Western? You know, like mirror universe different. -

Well, I remember all that stuff happening on the version I saw. So I'm guessing 'no' :P
Maybe the retcon doesn't work because all the Sues are half-Time Lord... Presumably their brain chemistry is different.
Now that I come to think of it, there was an actual episode where an old friend of Jack's popped up out of nowhere and knew all sorts of things about what was really going on. But Captain John Hart is just that *awesome* :) And I can't remember now if he actually knew about Torchwood or not.
Hmmm. Must rewatch stuff. -
Well, Tolkien based Sindarin off Welsh, IIRCÂ… by

Really. And he calls himself John Smith. Is it just me, or would the real Doctor come up with something, I dunno, flashier, I guess? Perhaps I just haven't watched enough Doctor Who.

Torchwood's more my thing though, but I do like the actor who played the Doctor.

Nope, he usually uses John Smith. :P (nm) by

"Bliith Druug", roughly. It's Welsh. by

And taken straight from the 2005 series. Used as a name, however, it's pretty stupid.
