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.

(A little taken aback at the first question as now I'm worried I give the impression that I don't like the Doctor when he's my Favouritest Character Ever...) I adore the Doctor in all his incarnations; there's got to be some reason I've tracked down 40 years worth of TV, books, audios and misc after all *g* I loved Rose last season, became fairly ambivalent towards her in the break, and have remained so. I occasionally like her a lot but I think she's gone as far as she can and it's time for the next one.

Favourite villain: hrm. The Daleks and Cybermen don't really count... The Slitheen were a bit rubbish, but I liked Margaret a lot in Boomtown. The Editor would probably rate higher with me if Simon Pegg hadn't been much scarier as corporate evil in Black Books. Does Adam count? I <3 Adam.

Oh no no no, it's not you! And I probably meant new Doctor rather than 'The Doctor'. It's just that I assumed, from the huge anticipation and swell of squee that happened, back when new Who started, that everyone loved him beyond compare, and I was the only one who found him annoying. But now 'slappable twats' seems to come up a lot on nostalgia_lj's polls. Which is a bit of a revelation. So I thought I'd take the opportunity to check ;)

I keep meaning to watch old Who some day, to see if I like that better.

Nine, in retrospect, is deeply fucked up in his obsession with Rose, but that fits with what the character's been through. And I love Ten. Yeah, he's occasionally slappable, but almost all characters are; I really appreciate the little touches of previous Doctors Tennant throws in to the performance.
