Series and Spinoffs
1. When did you start watching?
- July 2005.
1a. Why?
- Because I kept seeing a Cassandra icon (the bitchy trampoline) on my flist. I think it might have been
2. What was your first episode?
- Rose.
3. Which episodes have you seen?
- All of New Who, and a good chunk of the Classic. (Anything crossed out, I've seen.)
3a. Favourite?
- *TWITCHES* I love so many! Um...okay. For New Who I'm gonna say "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances." For Classic, I love "Black Orchid." (Yeah, it's not groundbreaking or anything, but Team!TARDIS at a party! Having fun! The Doctor playing sports! *LOVES*)
4. Are your friends/family interested in the show?
- I tried to get a friend of mine to watch (showed her TEC/TDD) but she was less than impressed. My brother was into it for a while, but he got married and for some reason got distracted. PFFFT.
5. Which Doctor is your favourite?
- *narrows eyes* Um...it's either going to be Nine or Ten. And every time I think I might like one better, the other taps me on the shoulder with an, "excuse me, what about the time I [fill in awesome Doctor moment]." I've given up.
6. Which Doctor is your least favourite?
- HA. Oooh. This is hard because I don't loathe any of them. Even Six. *pets the PMS-y Doctor* I think I'm going to have to go with One, just because he's the least "Doctorish" in my mind. Most the time he's simply "Cranky Old Man Who Naps All the Damn Time" and it's more rare seeing him being really smart or really anything other than the TARDIS driver. Of course, I haven't seen all the One eps yet. And like I said above, I don't loathe him by any means. I'm kind of fond of the old coot.
7. Which TV companion is your favourite?
- Hmmmmmmmm. Let's see... Rose, thanks!
8. Which TV companion is your least favourite?
- Peri. There's not even a close second to her. GAH! *wanders off muttering*
9. Do you listen to the Big Finish audios?
- I've only heard one, but it was *really* good - Chimes of Midnight. I reeeeally hope that someday they'd be able to do some Nine and Rose audio adventures. Well, and Ten too.
9a. If so, which is your favourite?
- Well, since I've only listened to one... :D REALLY good, though.
9b. Also: which Big Finish companion is your favourite?
- Charlie!! Okay, I only know one, but I luuurved Charlie.
10. Have you listened to any non-Big Finish audios?
- Nope.
11. Have you read any of the novels or short stories?
- Yup. I've read all the Rose novels.
11a. Have you written any of the novels or short stories?
- o_O
11b. Which is your favourite?
- The Feast of the Drowned. It's not the "shippiest" novel, but I loved the characterizations and action and so on. (If you've only ever listened to the audio on this, you are MISSING OUT. Some great character stuff was axed from it, including stuff involving Mickey and his past girlfriend, and even Jackie slapping Ten. How could they cut that??)
12. Have you read any of the comics?
- I've seen a scan of one. It was cute.
13. Do you watch any of the spinoffs (e.g. Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures)?
- Torchwood. I tried the first episode of SJA, and it was cute, but I never felt the burning desire to watch more.
13a. Which is your favourite?
- *Can* you call Torchwood a favorite? :D Okay seriously though, I think I'm going into Torchwood withdrawal at the moment. WTF?
14. Is there any particular episode/book/audio/comic you desperately want to watch/listen to/read?
- I really wish they'd animate more of the lost Classic episodes. Does that count?
Fandom
1. Do you write fanfic for Doctor Who?
- Yup.
1a. If so, post a snippet of a work-in-progress (or several)!
- After allowing himself a moment over the whole "junk" thing, the Doctor found Rose quickly enough through that special bond they shared. All right, it took a half an hour. And okay, it was probably due to yelling "ROOOOOOOSE!" over and over, but that was bond-y. Sort of.
2. Do you create Doctor Who icons?
- I've made a few. It's not a burning passion though.
2a. Let's see a sample!
3. Recommend a fanfic/icon/fanvid/fancomic/fancreation!
- Uh...
4. Have you been to any Doctor Who conventions?
- Nope.
5. Have you ever dressed up as a Doctor Who character?
- Nope.
6. Do you own any Doctor Who merchandise?
- Aside from novels, no. I still want a plushie Dalek though.
7. Are you a fan of Russell T Davies?
- I am, in spite of the crack. (Besides, what fun would it be to not be able to shake my fist at Jack!Boe?) (Hmm. Haven't we kind of wandered back out of the "Fandom" category now?)
7a. Steven Moffat?
- I am, in spite of an issue or three with TGitF.
7b. Paul Cornell?
- I am...hold on. Is he the one that made the Doctor do very bad things in S3? *CURLS INTO A BALL*
8. What say you to Season 6b?
- Hello, Season 6b! (Huh?)
9. The UNIT dating controversy?
- o_O
10. The Blinovitch Limitation effect?
- I finally caved and looked one of these up. Okey dokey. Looks like they kept half of this theory for Father's Day and chucked the other half.
11. Multi-Doctor episodes?
- Love them lots and lots!!
12. What's your favourite Doctor Who technobabble?
- Pretty much anything that DT rattles off. He can technobabble like no one's business.
13. Have you watched other TV shows exclusively because of the presence of Doctor Who actors?
- Not really. I tried watching Casanova, but got weirded out.
14. Have you met any of the actors?
- Nope.
14a. Travelled to any filming locations?
- No, because
15. What do you think of The Curse of Fatal Death?
- HA!!!
16. Do you have any fannish opinions that you think are fairly unpopular?
- Fandom at large or among D/R shippers? Fandom at large - the Doctor's in love with Rose. Completely in love. D/R shippers - I don't think the Doctor and Rose had sex before she left. *dodges tomatoes*
17. What's your favourite pairing?
- HEH. I WONDER.
18. What pairing(s) won't you touch with a really long pole?
- Hmm. I mean, a lot of them I'm not interested in and I just ignore them, so in that way I guess there are loads of pairings I wouldn't touch with a really long pole. Probably the only pairing that would *really* squick me out would be Pete/Rose because that's just fucked up.
