(no subject)
Nicked from... oh, just over half my flist. *g*
1. When did you start watching?
I haven't a clue what the date was, actually, but it was sometime after The Christmas Invasion had aired and before Season two.
1a. Why?
wendymr. Wonder how many people have answered that? *g* I think she converted about half of my last fandom...
2. What was your first episode?
Rose, naturally.
3. Which episodes have you seen?
All the new stuff. One or two episodes of the original series. I wanted to watch some, but there's so much I don't know where to start.
3a. Favourite?
Rose. Or... no, Rose. :)
4. Are your friends/family interested in the show?
They are now. *g* The only person who resisted was my dad. I'm so good, I even converted my uncle who, unfortunately, pestered me until I gave in and watched the Christmas Special with him.
5. Which Doctor is your favourite?
Nine.
6. Which Doctor is your least favourite?
The abomination? Nah, I did love him too... Um... I quite liked Ten. Really liked Three, so I'd have to say... Five?
7. Which TV companion is your favourite?
Rose. She was my first and... you always remember your first.
8. Which TV companion is your least favourite?
That's... a difficult question. I'm going to say Martha. I quite liked her at first, but it quickly went down hill. She got really annoying, really fast.
9. Do you listen to the Big Finish audios?
Nope.
9a. If so, which is your favourite?
La-la-la...
9b. Also: which Big Finish companion is your favourite?
The second one.
10. Have you listened to any non-Big Finish audios?
Nope.
11. Have you read any of the novels or short stories?
I read one, once, but... it was rather forgettable.
11a. Have you written any of the novels or short stories?
Heh, no.
11b. Which is your favourite?
That one with the thing that happened in that place that one time... You know what I'm talking about, right?
12. Have you read any of the comics?
All of them... Okay, none of them.
13. Do you watch any of the spinoffs (e.g. Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures)?
Yep.
13a. Which is your favourite?
Torchwood. Surprisingly enough. SJA has such rubbish special effects and way too many kids...
14. Is there any particular episode/book/audio/comic you desperately want to watch/listen to/read?
I've had a hankering for Doomsday, lately... But, you know, I can't rewatch it. I just can't.
Fandom
1. Do you write fanfic for Doctor Who?
I did. I hope to once more...
1a. If so, post a snippet of a work-in-progress (or several)!
For a little while you try a brolly. It’s sleek and black with an engraved handle and it’s a fair bit more stylish than your last, if you do say so yourself. Expensive, too, you’d guess, having nicked it from Pete and Jackie’s after one of their terribly terrible posh parties. It’s the right height - just perfect for the casual lean - and it looks fairly good with your new, charcoal suit, but it rains just as much in this London as it did in the last, and everyone has a brolly.
It makes you blend in when you want to stand out. You’ve blended quite enough, as far as you’re concerned.
You try a scarf too, of course. It isn’t nearly as long as the last one and the ends keep getting nattered, but it’s colourful and it swishes a little bit when you walk. You rather like the scarf, you must admit, and you think you’ve struck gold, but the scarf, like the brolly, is just that little bit... ordinary.
You persist all through your first winter anyway, wasting all that valuable time you could have spent on the hunt, thinking you’ve found the one, only to find yourself sorely disappointed come summer when the scarf is, quite suddenly, all but excruciating to wear. As it turns out, your silly half-human, entirely-too-blended body is much more sensitive to the heat.

There's a reason this one's not finished. *g*
2. Do you create Doctor Who icons?
I do, when the fancy strikes.
2a. Let's see a sample!
Um...
3. Recommend a fanfic/icon/fanvid/fancomic/fancreation!
Okay, now I realise how out of touch I've become...
4. Have you been to any Doctor Who conventions?
Nope. I'm not the convention-type.
5. Have you ever dressed up as a Doctor Who character?
Heh... um... Last costume party? I went as the TARDIS. Yes, you heard me.
6. Do you own any Doctor Who merchandise?
*innocent whistle*
I have... Season 1 - 4 on DVD, an inflatable TARDIS, a remote controlled Dalek, a money box, two sonic screwdrivers, a laser screwdriver, a collectors edition model Dalek, five action figures, a Doomsday set, three key rings, a build your own TARDIS model kit, another TARDIS that has some sort of sound thing... oh, and one of those wash cloth flannel things, a deck of cards and... that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
7. Are you a fan of Russell T Davies?
Yep.
7a. Steven Moffat?
Yes.
7b. Paul Cornell?
Eh? I don't know most of the writers...
8. What say you to Season 6b?
Um...
9. The UNIT dating controversy?
I think it was outrageous. If the UN wanted to date IT who are we to judge?
10. The Blinovitch Limitation effect?
*yawn*
11. Multi-Doctor episodes?
Amusing. *g*
12. What's your favourite Doctor Who technobabble?
Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow! It's so wrong it's gorgeous. *g*
13. Have you watched other TV shows exclusively because of the presence of Doctor Who actors?
Pfft, who does that? *whistles*
14. Have you met any of the actors?
Nope.
14a. Travelled to any filming locations?
Heh, no. I don't think my poor old car would make the trip.
15. What do you think of The Curse of Fatal Death?
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. What is it?
16. Do you have any fannish opinions that you think are fairly unpopular?
I like Rose/the abomination. And I like calling him that, despite the fact that I like him. And... Donna? Not that great. Too perfect.
17. What's your favourite pairing?
Doctor/Rose.
18. What pairing(s) won't you touch with a really long pole?
Doctor/Rose/Jack.
