Home early, because my work had their annual conference, which for most people meant listening to hours of panels on debt and repossession, and for me meant reading a Doctor Who book at the empty reception desk. My mama didn't raise no fool.

Meme! From everyone on the internets, but most recently melata_fic.

Ask Me My Fandom Opinion

How this works:
1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Ask anything...I'm really not bothered.
2. ONE DAMN QUESTION.-- Nah, you can ask more than one, but I might or might not answer it. [I will, because I'm odd like that. Go ahead.]
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.

Favourite new-school episode? Favourite old-school story? Any points of connection between the choices? (That's all one question, sort of.)

Respectively The Girl in the Fireplace and The Mind Robber, and I suppose there's a connection in the fantasy angle - a little girl being menaced by a clockwork monster under the bed against a gorgeous backdrop of snow over Paris; the weirdness in the Land of Fiction with forests of words and unicorns and missing faces. (Need to watch those both again...)

*snogs you*

I am shamefully lacking in Two episodes, so I can't really compare it to the rest of his run, but The Mind Robber is one of my favourite pieces of television ever, let alone DW. Just so genuinely strange and spooky and able to tap into all the stuff that you don't think is scary until they show you it is. Which is indeed what GitFace does so brilliantly.
