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!

Name: Kathryn A.
'Your Doctor' plus your Favourite Doctor: I'm not sure what you mean by "your Doctor". The first Doctor I saw was Four. My favourite Doctor is a tie between Nine, Eight and Five. Followed closely by Four, Ten, Seven and Eleven. "Marvellous chap, all of them."
Favourite companion(s): Sarah-Jane, Romana, Martha, Donna, Ace, Leela
Favourite minor character(s): The Brigadier, Jenny
Favourite ship(s): More of a friendshipper than a shipper. But for "ship" ships, I'd have Doctor/Romana, Rory/Amy; to a lesser degree, Nine/Rose (not Ten/Rose) and Ten/Martha. That doesn't stop me reading other ships, but there are some I simply don't get, such as Seven/Ace.
Some favourite episode(s): The Robots of Death, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Curse of Fenric, Dalek, Survival, Vincent and the Doctor, City of Death, Blink, Pyramids of Mars, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, Kinda + Snakedance
Fic writer? What genres?: Yes. Mostly gen, mix of Classic and New. Crossovers too. I have the same handle on Teaspoon as here.
Favourite Who communities back at LJ: calufrax, crossing_who, metatardis
Other Fandom(s): Too many to name, really. Blake's 7 is my first love. Harry Potter SS/HG is my most recent obsession. Others include Stargate SG-1, Highlander, The Sentinel, LotR, Labyrinth, The Pretender... I've recently discovered NCIS and Bones.
Fez?: I vote top hat.
Anything else? I have two sonic screwdrivers.

"Your Doctor" is the one that you were first exposed to, the one that first formed your idea of who the Doctor "is". They may or may not remain your favorite as you meet others, but they hold a special place as the One that Started it All for you.

Your name is familiar - I've seen some of your fic at the 'spoon, will have to go take a look again.

The meaning of "your Doctor" seems to vary depending on who refers to it, actually. Personally, I don't see it at all as being the same as the first Doctor you were exposed to, otherwise I would have said Five. However, I agree that it's the one that forms your idea of who the Doctor is, and for me that only happened when I did research on the Doctors that came before, having just discovered the show and becoming intrigued with its concept, and both Two and Three gave me the general idea of who that chap with the celery was supposed to be like.

'the one that you were first exposed to, the one that first formed your idea of who the Doctor "is".'

Which are not necessarily the same thing. The first Doctor I saw in action was Four... which caused an interesting fit of OMWTBBQ MARSH-WIGGLE ?? when I realized where I'd seen him before! ;-)

Awww, you mentioned metatardis as one of your favourite comms! *grins foolishly* Thanks so much. :)

I've been a (mostly silent) fan of your crossovers for years... friends?

If you won't be bored by my blathering, feel free.

Top hats are good :) Are Kinda and Snakedance the Mara episodes? I remember being quite thoroughly scared by the Mara the first time I saw those stories.

I'm going to subscribe to you if that's okay?

[kerravonsen]

Yep, they're the Mara episodes. I loved them because they stepped beyond the usual kind of monster into something more profound and thought-provoking and symbolic.

I'm going to subscribe to you if that's okay?
Hey, I assumed that participating in this meme meant that one was perfectly happy with people subscribing to you. 8-)
