Doctor Who Friending Meme

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.

Name: Corrie
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: I never quite know what people mean by "my Doctor." I'm tempted to just quote the Brig here and say "splendid chap, all of them." On the other hand, I was always one of those people who was only sort of joking when they said that the show jumped the shark when they went to color. At least, I was one of those people. And then Eleven happened. I don't think there's enough room here for me to fully convey how amazing he is. I'm just blown away by Matt Smith; how he can seem so old and so strange and yet so compelling is beyond me. He's so very alien and yet somehow he seems to really connect with people, even when they don't understand him at all (like Craig, for instance). And he's just wonderful with children- I really believe that he was a father once upon a time. He hasn't quite overtaken Troughton as my favorite (that's probably not possible, to tell the truth), but I daresay he has just edged McCoy out for number 2. And if you knew how much I love Seven you'd know that that is high praise indeed!
Favourite companion(s): Lets see: Barbara, Vicki, Sara Kingdom, Jamie, Zoe, Liz, the Brig, Sarah Jane, Leela, Romana (both), Tegan, Peri, Ace, Grace (shut up, I love her!), Mickey, Martha, Donna, Amy, River (I assume she counts). And those are just the televised ones.
Favourite minor character(s): Too many to list! I did quite love Liz 10 this past season though.
Favourite ship(s): What have you got? I'm a multishipper (and an OT3er) by nature, so I'll go along with most things. I don't really care for Ten except when he's paired with River though. And I'm a bit batshit about Two/Jamie and consider Doctor/Master and Doctor/Romana and Doctor/TARDIS canon.
Some favourite episode(s): Anything with Two is good. And seasons 16 - 17 and 25 - 26. And anything written by Steven Moffat.
Favourite Who communities back at LJ: I haven't really used LJ for ages now, though I do sometimes look at doctoreleven and got_my_boys. But mostly I hang out here or on tumblr these days.
Other Fandom(s): Loads! My mom raised me in Star Trek fandom, and I was exposed to a ton of other geeky stuff growing up. Aside from Doctor Who my greatest love is probably MST3K, but I have lots of other interests too (though I do tend to only focus on one thing at a time).
Fez?: YES.
Anything else? I have a theory that Matt Smith secretly really is an alien (and so is Tom Baker, but obviously he's a different sort of alien). I mean, just look at this hot picture of him: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8lc9xKpSs1qb38i1o1_500.png
I'm telling you, that boy isn't normal. And I love him for it.

It's a pretty good example of what good acting, direction and characterisation can do for a really crappy idea, IMO. The actual plot varies between being merely confusing and being Doctor Who's answer to Lost, and yet I will happily watch it over and over just for Seven and Ace being so... them all the time.

Thank you for that pic. I'm doing a 20in20 of Matt for one of the LJ 20in20 comms and the more pics of him outside of playing the Doctor, the better.

Glad to help! I'd love to see what you do with it.

One of the things that I really like about Eleven is that he's so much more alien than some of the other incarnations.

(And this is my way of saying "Hi, you look interesting and you are on this meme so I am friending/encircling you.")

Hi! Have added you back- anyone who likes cats is OK by me! ;-)
