Doctor Who Friending Meme

[primsong]

There's so many folks coming in to Dreamwidth it feels like a massive game of Marco-Polo in the dark - seems it would be a useful thing to have a Friending Meme up for our fandom, to help us find one another and get our favorite types of communities up and running at our new "home".

Adapt and add/subtract as you see fit!

DOCTOR WHO FRIENDING MEME

Please DO pimp this meme out to any Whovians you may have on your own flists, or to other related communities.

[lunar_dawn]

Name: Darryl

Fez?: What about it? Fezes are cool! I wear a fez now.

[averman]

Name: Judith
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: Nine is "my Doctor", but my favorite is Three <3
Favourite companion(s): Turlough! As well as Donna, Rory, Jamie, and Steven. The Brig, too, even though he's not technically a companion, I guess :)
Favourite ship(s): Doctor/TARDIS 4eva~
Other Fandom(s): The Closer, Rising Damp, The Guild, Life on Mars + Ashes to Ashes, Castle, Leverage, Merlin (though I'm behind in this D:), Super Junior, 60s musicians, Oglaf.
Fez?: ♥
Anything else? My journal probably has more rl rambles than fandom ones at the moment, but I've been meaning to really get back into watching more Who, especially the classic. Also I adore new friends, so please don't hesitate to add me!

[ghostgum]

Name: Jenny.
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: Four (Tom Baker) is definitely 'My Doctor', but my favourite, nowadays, swings between Nine and Eleven. I think Eleven might be winning.
Favourite companion(s): GODHOWTOCHOOSE. Amy. Donna. Leela. K-9. Rory.
Favourite minor character(s): River (is she still minor? I don't really think of her as minor). Liz Ten. Sally Sparrow.
Favourite ship(s): Amy/Rory/Eleven. Also Simm!Master/Ten.
Some favourite episode(s): Vincent And The Doctor, Blink, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Damned, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, okay, far too many, obviously. Also, I ♥ Steven Moffat.
Fic writer? What genres?: Yes! Though I haven't really written much, thus far; and I generally write fluffy and/or angsty romance. Here's some.
Favourite Who communities back at LJ: got_my_boys
Other Fandom(s): Sherlock BBC. Also Merlin, Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse, Fringe, and a muddle of other things.
Fez?: lol yes. :D
Anything else? I really can't emphasise enough, just how overrun my journal is by Sherlock, at the moment. I would love new Doctor Who friends, definitely, but that warning really needs to be there. Possibly underlined and in bold. Y'know. |D;



Watch me clutter up this page with gratuitous gifs, oh yes, of course, that's me.

[jhumor]

Name: J
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: I don't have a "my Doctor" they're ALL the Doctor and so I don't believe in picking one above the others. Favorite: that's like asking my favorite color: How can I possibly choose one over all the rest? I love them all for different reasons. Though for "rewatch" purposes it's good to know a few things:

Four was my first back in the late 70s (or was it early 80s), hard to tell because of when PBS started airing Four and when I was an age to actually remember things :P

Seven came out when I was an angsty Teen, so he and I would've gotten on famously!

And I just thought David Tennant's portrayal of Ten was nothing short of brilliant (I majored in theatre, so there are things I look for, that most people just don't.)

Eleven: jury is still out on. He's more alien then what we've scene since 2005, but acting wise something is "missing." Unfortunately, that comes with Matt Smith's age: There ARE some things that are just learned through experience. And I really hated the fact that the Moff has completely rebooted the Whoniverse. I used to believe the Doctor could show up on MY doorstep, but after that season? I'm not so sure anymore :S And, yes, I hate that :(

Favourite companion(s): In order of knowing them: the TARDIS!!! (she's ALWAYS been sentient to me ever since I was a kid) Sarah Jane Smith (before RTD ruined her), Romana II, Ace, Donna Noble

Favourite minor character(s): Too many to mention, so instead I'll say my LEAST favorite companions: I ABSOLUTELY detest Amy Pond! I just cannot stand her! The ONLY episode I kind of accepted her in was "Vincent and the Doctor" and even THEN, I thought that eppy would be better with Donna. Rose Tyler had held my "least fav." spot since Series 2 (I actually didn't mind her too much in series 1), until Amy came along. Peri is Third least... and so on from there.

Favourite ship(s): ship: TARDIS hahahah, kidding - Though, I might argue that Doctor and TARDIS is my One True Pairing ('romantic shipping' not needed)! I don't really ship anyone. Though Romana II and Four, I can accept the easiest. And I have a guilty pleasure of reading Ten/Donna ships (even though I myself don't ship them). I don't know why....

Some favourite episode(s): OMG - 47 YEARS of DW and you expect me to list them? OMG!... Pretty much every Dalek episode. Pretty much every Cyberman Episode. Every Ace episode. Most of Nine and Ten's episodes (but don't get me started on the crap that RTD screwed up!) of Eleven: Vincent and the Doctor. (would've been my favorite of all time, but for the involvement of one Amy Pond)

Fic writer? What genres?: I wasn't until a year ago and then WHAM! Mostly TARDIS and/or Ten, though I do have one Human!Doctor Post-JE. A lot of people whine about how EMO Ten is, but he as a depth that I LOVE exploring in my writing. Not sure what you'd call my writing, probably Dramatic.

Favourite Who communities back at LJ: I'm trying to erase LJ from my memory, so I'd rather not go there, thanks.

Other Fandom(s): The only one that comes close to my DW fandom is Star Wars.

Fez?: Well, hats of all manner are cool.

Anything else? Not really. I suppose it's interesting to note that I've earned (if my thesis is accepted) my Master's Degree in Christian Spirituality. And I cited Doctor Who in some of my papers :D

[everchangingmuse]

Name:
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: Sylvester McCoy is "my" Doctor; Favorite vacillates between Hartnell, McCoy, Pertwee, and Eccleston
Favourite companion(s): Sarah Jane, UNIT, Barbara, Ace, Donna, Amy, Jamie
Favourite minor character(s): Ancelyn and Bambera
Favourite ship(s): Ancelyn/Bambera, Ian/Barbara Benton/Jo (which is not canon at all, but I totally ship it)
Some favourite episode(s): "Tomb of the Cybermen", "Battlefield", "Ark in Space", "Dalek", and...oh... "The Next Doctor" since I like it best of all the Christmas ones
Fic writer? What genres?: I haven't read Who-fic in ages, so I have no clue anymore of who writes what. I used to read a lot of drabbles, back in the late 90s, early 2000s
Favourite Who communities back at LJ: dwicons, even if I can't look very often because of spoilers
Other Fandom(s): Takarazuka Revue, musical theatre, various anime/manga (Sailormoon and Utena in terms of 'active fandom' stuff, but I watch/read a lot of others - current obsessions are Rose of Versailles and Black Butler), and I'm sure other things that I can't think of at the moment
Fez?: Spoilers! Can't see it till the day after my birthday b/c I have no cable!
Anything else? The Who exhibit in Cardiff was awesome! Cardiff in general is awesome! Best part of my visit to the UK last summer!

[travels_in_time]

Name: travels_in_time, AKA Terry.
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: The Seventh Doctor was "my" Doctor; they canceled the show *just* when I'd found out about it. My current favorite Doctor is the Tenth, although it took me most of his run to warm up to him. I think it was Donna that finally tipped the scales in his favor; he was so much better with her than with anyone else (IMO, YMMV, etc.)
Favourite companion(s): Donna, Jack, Ace, Rose (with the Ninth Doctor, not the Tenth)
Favourite minor character(s): Hm, that's a hard one. Doctor Who has some awesome minor characters, that's one of the things I love about it.
Favourite ship(s): I'm a multi-shipper! Or a non-shipper; it varies from day to day. :D
Some favourite episode(s): Also a tough question. Anything with John Simm in, although that is less to do with plot and more to do with UNF. Yes, all right, I am shallow that way.
Fic writer? What genres?: Occasionally; mostly gen, some (non-graphic) slash, the odd crack!fic.
Other Fandom(s): Life on Mars, Sherlock (BBC), Due South, White Collar, Babylon 5, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter...several others as interest waxes and wanes.
Fez?: Should only be worn by Shriners in parades.
Anything else? Cake for everyone! *passes cake around*

[travels_in_time]

I'm friending you! I can use some "overrun with Sherlock"ishness on my friendspage, especially as you are also a Doctor Who fan! And I think I read one of your Sherlock fics recently, and loved it.

I also <3 Steven Moffat. I have the most ridiculous crush on him, based strictly on the columns he writes for DWM.

[ghostgum]

I totally read the most scrumptious little Sherlock kid!fic by you, this morning, when I was still in bed and therefore fail-face regarding leaving comments... am I right? I'm sure I'm right. :D

[primsong]

I'm trying to erase LJ from my memory, so I'd rather not go there, thanks.

I concur! I included it with the intent of helping folks who were a part of a group there find others that were also in the same group, with the parallel purpose of helping us see what type of communities still lacking here at DW might be worth launching, should someone care to pick up the admin duties for them.

[ghostgum]

Rose (with the Ninth Doctor, not the Tenth)

This, I second. ♥

[primsong]

You not only have good taste in Doctors, your journal has Scarlet Pimpernel, musicals and books as well? Hm! I'd like to friend you, if I may, though I'm not very familiar with the anime world.

[jhumor]

I meant no offense to you with that comment, I figured that's why you included it ;)

But other than posting in the News Thread, the one Comm I manage and a few RPG threads I'm trying to 'tie up', I'm done posting there. I'll still use it to access FanFics, until we get things going here, but well to quote Frodo: I can't keep living with one foot in each world, I have to be whole. (or something like that from Return of the King)

[primsong]

I third that!

[primsong]

Well said! I think part of my impetus for pushing comms is that's the main reason the rest of my flist is giving for not crossing over in to the Promised Land with us, so here's to filling up the corners.

[travels_in_time]

Yeah, that was me. :D Apparently I've been overly influenced by Torchwood Babiez...

[jhumor]

It's also why I completely yanked my LJ stuff: If they want to read it, they can read it here. I too hear everyone complaining about how there's nothing here. But if they keep saying that? It'll never change. So, this is me, severing ties. **Shrugs** even if it is somewhat slowly.

[exselsius]

Name: Sel. Or Bea. :]
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: The 9th is My Doctor. <3 Completely captured my heart, he did. Though I really like the 10th as well, he has to take a second place to CE.
Favourite companion(s): Rose and Amy.
Favourite minor character(s): Sally Sparrow! Jackie Tyler & Mickey (though I'm not sure the latter counts).
Favourite ship(s): Rose/9th is my absolute favorite. I also enjoy Rose/Master, Rose/Tenth and some AU stuff. .
Some favourite episode(s): Don't Blink, Bad Wolf, Doomsday, Army of Ghosts.
Fic writer? What genres?: Not anymore.
Favourite Who communities back at LJ: Didn't have any. Starting over fresh here.
Other Fandom(s): So many to list! Merlin, Harry Potter, Firefly, various anime, Bones, Criminal Minds, NCIS, House, ER. And many more!
Fez?: No thanks. I'm not really a fez kind of girl.
Anything else? I really wanna make new friends! :3

[exselsius]

I fourth it! The chemistry was omnomnom.

[dbskyler]

I'll be your friend! I'll be your friend! Oh, wait . . . ; )

Great idea to start this. I also love the topics you included, especially the LJ communities question -- for those of us coming from LJ who are familiar with those communities, it's a really good shorthand way to determine the kinds of things that potential friends are likely to post about and be interested in reading.

The fez question is my favorite, though. :D

[juliet316]

Cake?

[juliet316]

Finally! Somebody else who's not enchanted with the fez! To each their own and all that, but a fez? Really?
