*Applause*

I think you have captured Liz perfectly here ^^

I am about halfway through her stories but she's already made my favorite companions list and its wonderful to see her so well represented here.

Well done!

Fantastic essay. Liz is certainly one of the most underappreciated companions; thanks for singing her praises.

contrary to popular belief, Sarah Jane Smith was not the first grrrl power companion. Neither was Liz (Barbara Wright, anyone?).

*automatically loves you*

But altogether, even aside from the *glee* over the bit I quoted, this is a fantastic essay, wonderfully thought out and going into great eloquence over one of the greatest of the Doctor's companions. Great job!
