The Price of Immortality, a fanmade Torchwood/Supernatural crossover:

A good mixing of the two series.

Even though season 5 has not been confirmed it is rather interesting that AudioGo! Is about to release an audio story that takes place after the Miracle called Army of One:

Risk Assessment:
Risk Assessment is an original novel by James Goss which was released in October 2009.
Risk Assessment is a story featuring Jack, Gwen and Ianto sometime between the season 2 finale Exit Wounds & Children of Earth.
Prior to Risk Assessment, Goss wrote a prequel to it The Last Voyage of Osiris which was published Torchwood Magazine. However having read both the prequel and the main story it did not feel they were connected with each other but still managed to be independently enjoyable stories.
Risk Assessment is about Torchwood being assessed by an assessor Agnes Havisham. If that wasn’t enough to put the Torchwood team on edge Agnes is making her assessment based on 1901 standards. This is because 1901 is the time she is from as she has been sleep for a lot of the time since then. On this occasion this is fourth time she has awaken since her original hibernation.
Agnes Havisham makes for a sinister character and certainly one readers love to hate.
Just as the Torchwood team are kept on their toes by Agnes, they have to deal with a man-eating monster known as the Vam.
Agnes and the Vam along with what happens to Gwen late in the story makes for very good storytelling.

Miracle Day: Dead of Night:
Whilst watching Dead of Night with the DVD subtitles when Rex is shown the I-5s (the camera contact lens) he introduced himself and that he is from the CIA by stating its full name as part of a demonstration of I-5s being able to read lips with a translation software, I was quite surprised what the subtitles said when the translation software repeated Rex’s introduction.
With Rex saying that he is representing the CIA, the subtitles correlated the software saying “resenting” instead of “representing”. I then check on this and it is not the fault of the subtitle writer for this error. The software did indeed say the word “resenting”.
Given the experience Rex was having with the CIA it is perhaps not incorrect of Rex resenting the CIA.
However the subtitle writer is not entirely blameless with the wording of the subtitles in this scene.
In regards to the Agency part of the CIA abbreviation, when the software said the word the subtitle presented the incorrect spelling of Ajenny. This is despite the fact the correct spelling of the word was presented when Rex said it a few seconds earlier.

Sometime after posting this message I posted this as a submission on the Torchwood: Miracle Day page at TV.com and just found out that it has been accepted by the editor anbis82
