How did you get into each fandom?
Dr. Who: I'd heard about it, but purposely avoided it, because I like to be thorough with my fandoms and the show had been running since '63. Then dad downloaded "The Next Doctor," I glared at him and said "You just had to get me hooked, didn't you?" Now I've seen all the eps except some with the First and Second Doctors.
Suits: I'd seen prompts for it on comment_fic and it was on my "to watch" list. Finally got around to it in January, I've only written two fics so far, but if I get inspiration I'll write more.
White Collar: Started watching it about the same time as Suits, since it was also on my "to watch" list. Still in season 2.
Supernatural: I heard about it after the first season started, thought "Hm, sounds interesting," then promptly forgot about it. Then season three of Torchwood happened, Ianto died, and the showrunner said in an interview: "There’s a risk that some people won’t come back to watch now that Ianto’s gone. I thank them for watching the show and I recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are beautiful." "Fuck you very much, Rusty, I will," I thought. I got caught up on the eps, was extremely obsessed during season five, watched season six and a few eps of seven before I quit (Sera Gamble is no Kripke). I still write fic, but it's more an "every-so-often" thing.
Hawaii Five 0: I saw prompts on comment_fic and heard about it on my twitter feed, but wasn't really interested until I saw a preview for a crossover ep with NCIS: LA. I decided to watch that, and of course I had to watch the rest of the eps first so I'd know what was going on.
Sherlock (BBC): Heard that Mark Gatiss was working on it, saw the first episode and fell in love. Haven't written any fanfic yet, since I don't think I can do the characters justice.
Five favorite characters in each fandom:
(In no particular order)
Dr. Who: I'm giving five for Classic!Who and five for Nu!Who, because there are too many.
Classic: Harry Sullivan, the Brigadier, Ace, Delgado!Master, Turlough.
Nu: Nine, Ten, Mickey, Jack, Rory.
(both of these are still drastically pared down).
Suits: Mike, Harvey, Donna. Rachel's cool too, and Jessica.
White Collar: Neal, Mozzie, Peter, Elizabeth and June.
Supernatural: God, um... Crowley, Gabriel, Castiel, Dean (I have a crapton more, but those were the first I thought of).
Hawaii Five-0: Steve, Chin, Grace, Max, Kono.
Sherlock (BBC): Sherlock, John, Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, Molly Hooper.
Three favorite pairings in each fandom:
(Most of these will only have one)
Suits: Harvey/Mike
White Collar: Neal/Peter/El
Supernatural: Dean/Castiel, Sam/Gabriel, Sam/Dean/Castiel/(Gabriel)
Hawaii Five-0: Steve/Danny, Kono/Charlie Fong.
Dr. Who: Doctor/Master, Nine/Rose/Jack, (Eleven)/Amy/Rory, Jake/Mickey
Sherlock: Sherlock/John
Alright, what’s your favorite thing about each fandom?
Suits: Not familiar enough with the fandom to say.
White Collar: Ditto.
Supernatural: Its ability to ignore canon for fic/shipping purposes.
Hawaii Five-0: The fact that a lot of Steve/Danny fics have them taking care of Grace. It's just an extension of Steve's behavior in the show, but still awesome.
Sherlock: The fact that so many fans are able to write fics with a difficult character like Sherlock (jealous).
What annoys you/do you hate most about each fandom?
Suits: Not familiar enough with the fandom to say.
White Collar: Ditto.
Supernatural: The occasional character/ship bashing.
Hawaii Five 0: Can't think of anything.
Sherlock: *shrug*
Who is your favorite character in each fandom?
Didn't I already answer this? Ah, well.
Dr. Who: Seriously? I can't pick just one!
Suits: Mike.
White Collar: Tie between Neal and Mozzie.
Supernatural: *sputters*
Hawaii Five-0: Steve.
Sherlock (BBC): John.
Who’s your least favourite character in each fandom?
Dr. Who: River. The fact that she married the Doctor is just...no. You don't do that.
Suits: Louis. He's skeevy!
White Collar: Kate. Neal's obsessed with her, and she doesn't deserve it. Or possibly Fowler.
Supernatural: I have several. Meg, Ruby, Alistair, Zachariah...
Hawaii Five 0: Lori *gag* Exactly why did they need to put a flat, wooden character into a team that was perfect already? She's a literal fifth wheel.
Sherlock: Moriarty.
Have a crush on any main characters?
Dr. Who: Rory. He's all around decent and so underappreciated at first.
Suits: Mike. He's cute.
White Collar: Neal. Like, drooling crush. He's beautiful, charming and all around awesome.
Supernatural: Not really. I thought Sam was cute in the early seasons, and Dean is hot, but neither of them are what I'd call "crushes."
Hawaii Five 0: Steve.
Sherlock: If any, it'd have to be John.
Anything you want to say to the creator(s) of each fandom?
Dr. Who: Rock on!
Suits: Can we please get rid of the Mike/Jenny/Rachel triangle? It's unneeded (except insofar as it got Trevor to blab Mike's secret.)
White Collar: Not really.
Supernatural: SERA, I AM DISAPPOINT!
Hawaii Five-0: Keep up the good work, and if you want to get rid of Lori, feel free. Oh, and also get Kono and Fong together.
Sherlock: I LOVE YOU GUYS!
