Welcome to the "Come Along" Doctor Who Friending Meme!

We're here to promote friendships and Doctor Who community, creativity, and connections across Livejournal and through to related realms. We're just squeaking in at the end of the year, right before the Mayan Apocalypse, but we've got an Open Blue Box that's bigger on the inside AND did we mention? It travels through time!

Name: eve11
Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA
First Doctor Who Experience: boofadil sent me Eccleston's series on a burned CD through the mail, and I mainlined all of them in one night of marathon viewing. I literally did not notice "Bad Wolf" until they spelled it out at the end.
Eras I Like: Favorites right now are Eleven, Ten, Six, Seven and Eight. I also like the rest as well. I like Big Finish but need to get caught up. EDAs are cool.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Eleven/River, Eleven/Master, Eleven/Amy/Rory, anything with River Song, Ten and Donna, Ace and/or Hex, Six, Evelyn Smythe, Peri and Erimem. ETA: The TARDIS, of course, and the Doctor's pseudo-probabilistic relationship with her!
Favorite Fandom Activities: Fic, costuming, pod-fic (please feel free to podfic anything of mine), episode reviews.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: spoiler_song; dw_cosplay; crafty_tardis; eleven_fic; calufrax
Other things I like to talk about: Math, daily happenstances of life, writing, recipes, costuming, commuting, hockey, Halloween, traveling, DragonCon, football, occasionally science. Earlier this year it was massive dissertation angst, but I graduated (!) in June. I have a perpetual WIP fic that I tend to obsess about in fits and starts, otherwise known as my "Shamelessly beat up on Eleven" fic, or "the WIP-o-Doom". (One of these days I will post it out in the public and I will be happier than when I finished my dissertation.)

Anything Else?: Probably about 90% of my lj is f-locked due to convergences between fandom and real life, but I friend very liberally. I like reading a variety of fanfiction and I like to recc over at calufrax so you can see what I like to share. I made a Calvierri Girl dress that I am quite proud of.

Where else can you find me? Just lj! I know, I know... ETA: well, okay, I am also eve11 on Teaspoon and AO3

Hello! I have no idea why I didn't have you friended already. V silly of me.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Name: auntiemeesh
Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA
First Doctor Who Experience: Watching Four and Five with my brothers on PBS as a kid.
Eras I Like: I feel great nostalgic love for the Fourth and Fifth Doctors even if on rewatching, some of those eps aren't the greatest tv ever. I love Nine and Ten and am riding out Eleven. Don't hate him, but I don't love him, either.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Not so much into pairings with Who, but I do like Nine and Ten with Rose, Ten and Eleven with River (basically, I usually love River to bits, no matter who she's paired with, unless there are Angels involved). David Tennant is definitely my favorite new Doctor.
Favorite Fandom Activities: costuming, talking about the eps - haven't found much fic I like since it all seems to be about the pairings and I really prefer good episodic type stories.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: crafty_tardis, doctoreleven
Other things I like to talk about: My job and life, my family, other fandoms I'm including Sherlock, Hawaii Five-O, various others coming and going, hockey (if we ever get hockey again), lamenting over the fact that I'm not writing fic any more, etc., my cats (I'm not quite a crazy cat lady, but I'm not quite not a crazy cat lady, either).
Where else can you find me? I have a Dreamwidth account that isn't very active (read, not at all active) at the moment, but I'm forever intending to get everything backed up there and start cross-posting.

[livii.livejournal.com]

I've wanted to friend you, seeing you around eve11's journal, but I'm shy - so I'm doing so now! :)

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Name: ladymercury_10
Location: Illinois, USA
First Doctor Who Experience: I did not understand what this whole Doctor Who business was until ityellsback made me watch "Tooth and Claw," and it was a pretty easy sell after that. That was right before S5 started airing, so Ten was my first Doctor, but Eleven was the first I watched in any sensible order.
Eras I Like: Eleven, Ten, Seven, and I've seen a little bit of Four and Nine. I've heard one Big Finish audio with Seven, Ace and Hex.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Amy/Rory, Eleven, Doctor/TARDIS, Seven + Ace(/Hex), Ten + Martha, Sally Sparrow, Oswin Oswald, Kate Stewart, Sally Sparrow, Four/Romana, Sarah Jane Smith...probably many others I am forgetting at the moment....
Favorite Fandom Activities: fic writing/reading, occasionally meta, knitting (I learned to knit in the round and read patterns several years ago specifically so that I could knit Scotty's hat from the new Trek movie. :P)
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: doctoreleven
Other things I like to talk about: real life/grad school, DCU (Bat-family), memes, books, math. I also like Star Trek: TNG and Firefly, but I don't post about them much. I was a creative writing major before I turned into a math grad student, so it's mainly the sort of hodgepodge that comes of that, with lots of Doctor Who. :P
Anything Else?: I think most of my journal is unlocked, if you want to peek. If you want to see what I write, this and this are probably among the nicer examples.

Also, here is a GIF that came from...somewhere? Because memes are always more fun with GIFs!



Where else can you find me? I have a Dreamwidth account under the same username, but I really only use it as a backup and for commenting. On the Teaspoon, I am Lady Mercury.

[aralias.livejournal.com]

hello! i like your gif, and also ST: TNG and ace/hex, and kate stewart and other things. friends would be good!

Location: Wisconsin
First Doctor Who Experience: the first Doctor I saw was Four. First serial was possibly The Armageddon Factor. I know it was something from the Key to Time arc, anyway.
Eras I Like: Classic Who, Big Finish, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, New Who, in more or less that order
Characters/Pairings I Like: favorite companions include Barbara, Ian, Jamie, Sarah Jane, Harry, Romana, K9, Erimem, Turlough, Evelyn, Frobisher, Ace, Jack. Favorite pairings include Barbara/Ian, One/Cameca, Ben/Polly, Two/Jamie, Four/Sarah Jane, Harry/Sarah Jane, Four/Romana, Five/Nyssa, Erimem/Peri, Five/Turlough, Seven/Ace(/Hex), Eight/Charley, Doctor/Master
Favorite Fandom Activities: reading fanfic, knitting DW-themed scarves (I learned to knit just so I could make this stuff), listening to/reviewing Big Finish audios (I bought an mp3 player primarily so I can listen to Big Finish), and I'm planning a long-overdue update of my "rare pairings" fanfic list
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: davison_era, who_otp, seventh_doctor
Other things I like to talk about: occasional RL posts about my family, my cats, knitting; various TV shows
Where else can you find me? I'm on Twitter as ghost2_ (with an underscore after the name since ghost2 is already taken)

Location: Louisville, KY...outside of my mind or under a Rock
First Doctor Who Experience: I remember being three and watching the Fourth Doctor. I can't remember the episode, just joy throughout every part of my being.
Eras I Like: All of them, but my favs are the Fourth (my Classic) and the Eleventh (New)
Characters/Pairings I Like: Most of them (though I'm not much into het - unless it is really well done). Adore Gen - though I am one of 'those' that ships Rory/11...like I'm FedEx and it's already Xmas.
Favorite Fandom Activities: writing/reading fanfiction, collecting art, screencaps and fanvids. Squealing over Awesome, Pimping Awesome and in general being part of the fun.

Anything Else?: I'm completely and utterly insane.
Where else can you find me? Well...here. And most of my other hangouts are listed in my links list. But you can find me (on occasion) at Tumblr.

[honeynoir.livejournal.com]

Hi! I like your fic and ship most of what you ship! Friends?

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Name: Amy
Location: General proximity of Detroit, MI
First Doctor Who Experience: I have memories of references to the show on various other shows, and I can remember silly clips shown on various British panel shows. The moment I fell in love? They showed the following clip on a show (I forget which one) wherein a dalek, most deadly foe of the Doctor, is defeated by simply pushing it out of a window.

It's not even a very high window, either. At that moment, I KNEW: a show this silly would always find a place in my heart. ♥
Eras I Like: One day, I will go back and watch the entire series, from the very beginning. Considering I barely have time to keep up with the current series, I don't know when that will be. So for the moment, I am a New Who fan with dreams of more! *dramatic music swells*
Characters/Pairings I Like: Eleven is my fave and ♥ I'm a huge Amy/Rory fangirl. I am very excited for Jenna to start, as she was excellent in Asylum of the Daleks. Beyond that, I have massive love and affection for most of the Who characters. They're all pretty excellent.
Favorite Fandom Activities: I love coming up with crazy fan speculation with my buds. Kink memeing is another favorite activity!
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: doctoreleven is the one I frequent most.
Other things I like to talk about: LOADS. IDEK. I like books and reading and writing and math and science and politics and knitting and gardening (be warned: I talk about vegetables a lot) and absurdity and my many crappy jobs. ;)
Anything Else?: Probably. But I am le tired! (Anything you'd like to know? Just ask.)

I am just really amused/mesmerized by this Dalek-pushing GIF. That is a spectacular explosion for that height, you're so right! :D

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Name: dqbunny
Location: Mechanicsburg, PA, USA
First Doctor Who Experience: I was invited to a new friend's house for dinner and her group's weekly watching of Doctor Who. This was back while series 3 was airing, and I think the first episode I saw was "42." But, I didn't get hooked on the series until "Human Nature"/"Family of Blood" and "Blink."
Eras I Like: Eleven is my favorite at the moment, followed by Nine. I have all these little warm feelings for One, and I really like what I've seen of Four and Five. I need to get caught up on the other series.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Eleven/River is my series OTP by a long shot, and I also love River Song. I wrote fic for Ten/Rose a few years ago during the Ten era, and I still enjoy that ship as well. I'm pretty much a big fan of anyone who's ever stepped aboard the TARDIS. Well, except Adam. Of course.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Fic! When the muse is behaving, I write copious amounts of fanfic. I've done a little cosplay of River as well. I got into paper-crafting this fall, and I've made some items with Doctor/River fanart that a friend drew.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: spoiler_song and doctoreleven. dw_cosplay was a huge resource when I was putting together the River cosplay, and it looks like I'll have to check out crafty_tardis.
Other things I like to talk about: My work (I work for a newspaper and am co-creator of a webcomic), crafts, tea, books, writing, cats. I'll talk about other things I've seen, and twice a year expect me to wax poetic on the J.D. Robb "In Death" series. My husband moved here from the UK last year, and it's been a source of great amusement.
Anything Else?: I've actually been really bad about updating my LiveJournal this year. It's largely because by the time I sit down to update it, I can't pull my thoughts from my mind. Good job, Meg.
Where else can you find me? Tumblr (http://savvyliterate.tumblr.com) (aka, my unashamed fangirl, which is about 70% Doctor/River) | Twitter (http://twitter.com/MegsLeigh) | Namesake (http://www.namesakecomic.com</a) (webcomic I co-create with secondlina. I have the same name on Dreamwidth as on LJ, and you can find all of my fanfic on Ao3 (http://archiveofourown.org/users/DQBunny). I've been slowly porting it from LJ and FF.net.

[eve11]

hi fellow Pennsylvanian! I have spent the last 18 years moving steadily across the state (Chester county to State College to Pittsburgh to Beaver). I am now only about 10 miles from Ohio, so I suppose there is nowhere left to go.

I... I don't DO het pairings. Unless it's Eleven/River. Then I'm all about smut and adventure and baby-fic, IDEK. I've not been reading a lot lately due to trying to write instead, but I enjoy your stories very much on AO3 and spoiler_song. Friends?

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

Name: singeaddams
Location: North Carolina, USA
First Doctor Who Experience: As a child I was home sick and I stumbled across 4's 'The Hand of Fear.' I didn't understand it at all and was creeped out badly but I couldn't stop watching it. To this day I misremember Sarah Jane as a blonde.
Eras I Like: 10 and Donna's era got me interested in WHO but I fell in love with the Classic Doctors. I LOVE them bubblewrap aliens!
Characters/Pairings I Like: I love all the Classic Doctors and companions but I'm not anti-New Who. In terms of pairings I enjoy mixing and matching everyone.
Favorite Fandom Activities: I'm concentrating on original work so right now I'm just enjoying the old TV episodes and reading recs on Calufrax. I may get back into writing fic someday.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: calufrax
Other things I like to talk about: Light/weird/funny day-to-day happenings in my life as well as a healthy amount of venting about my #%@&ing job search. Also I just adopted my first cat so you're gonna have to deal with that, too.
Anything Else?: A WHO project I was especially proud of: Turn Your Back my magnum opus in the fandom. It took me a year to write and I'm still tweaking it.
Where else can you find me? I'm Singe over on Dreamwidth, Teaspoon, and JournalFen.

[eve11]

"Turn Your Back" is absolutely brilliant! :) I can point people to my podfic of Chapter 7 (Ace & Seven) as a preview. I wish I'd had the stamina/skill to record the rest of them. One of my all-time favorite stories :)

[cruel-fortuna.livejournal.com]

Name: Rachel / cruel_fortuna
Location: Arkansas, USA
First Doctor Who Experience: The stars aligned & I somehow caught 'The Eleventh Hour' when it premiered back in 2010. After that I borrowed the previous seasons from my brother's friend who was obsessed with all things sci-fi.
Eras I Like: I'm slowly re-watching nu!Who & one day I hope to tackle the 1-8 era Doctor's but for now I'm just going to stick with 9 through 11, & obvs. 11 is my fav. cause it was my first experience with the whole ordeal.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Eleven/River, Amy/Rory, Amy/Vincent , Donna/Ten & Doctor/Master.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Fanfic, FSTs, Meta Posts, basically anything textually based.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: eleven_fic !!
Other things I like to talk about: Real life, other fandoms, cheesy 80s movies, comics, ballet, Broadway musicals, travelling, & classic novels as well as trashy Young Adult fiction.
Anything Else?: My journal is fully f-locked & I tend to go on hiatuses without warning when life gets busy so if I disappear, don't worry - I'll be back before well ... you know. c ;
Where else can you find me? Other places that I won't say but if you find them, ... I might nod approvingly & confirm/deny that yes - that's me.

Welcome :D I've never attempted one of these before so I am a bit nervous too. I'm supremely happy to see you here, and hooray for Six! Also I've been meaning to get caught up on Big Finish; my iPod died and I lost all of my playlists (which was most of the monthly run of BFAs) but I have just rebooted it so I can start getting more of them and posting about them. (I have a long commute so I can almost listen to one per driving day).

Name: fate_incomplete
Location: Australia
First Doctor Who Experience: Memories of watching Four as a young kid. More recently borrowing the Season 5 DVDs, mainlining them and falling in love with Eleven, before watching the rest of the new Who.
Eras I Like: Eleven, Ten, Nine, what I remember of Four. Though Eleven is my Doctor.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Eleven/Jack, Eleven/Amy, Eleven/River, Eleven/Rory (or apparently Eleven/Anyone lol) I also love gen fics.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Writing and reading fic, reading meta (though I have yet to do any of my own for this fandom), episode discussions and generally sharing the excitement around.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: who_contest dwfiction eleven_fic mostly
Other things I like to talk about: Writing, RL, Supernatural. I haven't been posting much other than fic at my journal recently, but comment on my friends journals a lot.
Anything Else?: My journal is mostly unlocked apart form the odd post on RL things.
Where else can you find me? I am on Teaspoon and AO3 with the same username where I cross post most of my fics. I do have a Dreamwidth account under the same name which is just used as a backup at the moment, and I have a Tumblr account I rarely use.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I love you...

[10littlebullets.livejournal.com]

Name: 10littlebullets
Location: Washington DC, though only in the sense that your average DW companion's 'location' is London. Currently in the Comoros Islands via Nairobi via Zürich. I refuse to issue any comment on whether my job has any connection to the US branch of UNIT.
First Doctor Who Experience: Catching Shakespeare Code and then a few early s2 episodes with friends, and swearing up and down that they'd never ever drag me into this fandom.
Eras I Like: Seven 'n' Ace and Ten are my favorites that I've seen all/most of, but I adore what I've seen so far of One, Four and Romana, and the BFA Eight audios.
Characters/Pairings I Like: I have a lot of feelings about Ten, okay? Most of them involving my desire to smack him in the face, but deep down I love him. Eight is probably the Doctor I straight-up adore the most. I ship Doctor/Master hard enough to put the East India Company out of business, and also love River, Martha, Ace, and Romana. And really I am an equal-opportunity lover of almost everything I've come across in the Whoniverse, those are just my particular favorites.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Long-winded meta, occasional fic, even-more-occasional vidding, cosplay. (Hi internet, let me tell you about the time I was the Hungover Weeping Angel of Dragon*Con. Buy me a drink and get me under f-lock, and I might start telling stories about the bizarre shenanigans that have befallen me while cosplaying Simm!Master.)
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: best_enemies, calufrax, the late lamented sizeofthatthing.
Other things I like to talk about: My secondary fandom is Les Misérables, and I also tend to talk about work travel and kvetch about RL goings-on.
Anything Else?: I drifted away from LJ lately and am trying to fix that, so posting may be weird/sporadic.
Where else can you find me? Tumblr: tenlittlebullets; Dreamwidth (mirrored to LJ): tenlittlebullets.

Hi internet, let me tell you about the time I was the Hungover Weeping Angel of Dragon*Con. Buy me a drink and get me under f-lock, and I might start telling stories about the bizarre shenanigans that have befallen me while cosplaying Simm!Master.

Ha! Wait, are you the one who cosplays crazy-hoodie-master at D*C? Or a different one? I was so sad when LJ scrapbook re-arranged the order of my DragonCon photo galleries with no way to change them back :(

Name: jacobnorman

First Doctor Who Experience: I watched Torchwood before Doctor Who, so when the Doctor did arrive I had no idea what was going on. So I borrowed the first four seasons from my brother and now I'm addicted.
Eras I Like: The whole reboot I love <3
Characters/Pairings I Like: Rose/Ten, Eleven/River, Rory/Amy, Donna/Ten
Favorite Fandom Activities: Love to read fics and watch videos on Youtube.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: Only have one at the moment which is doctorwho
Other things I like to talk about: Talk about my life in general, work, fandoms, fangirly nonsense, anime and video games.
Anything Else?: Rory and Amy should have a spin-off series or movie with River and Eleven <3
Where else can you find me? I have twitter, fb, aim, msn, gtalk...lots of places but I don't give out that info until I get to know you better.

[maureen-cohen.livejournal.com]

I agree with 3/4 of those ships. And yeah, my LJ is fangirly as well...

First Doctor Who Experience: Don't actually remember the first, but it was always there. I remember the Third Doctor in the Seventies. I remember playing Daleks in the playground in grade four. 5:30pm Monday-Thursday forever and ever until it wasn't.
Eras I Like: Six (troubled teen!me got along well with Six in my head) Seven (because he was just so dark at the end), Eight (so very much fun!), Nine (SHOW! BACK ON MY TELLY! CAN IT BE TRUE?), Ten (because he licked everything.) Still getting to know Eleven, but I am fond.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Nine/Jack/Rose, Tegan/Nyssa/Turlough, Five/Turlough, Donna, Martha, Lady Christina, Sarah Jane, AAAAAACE, Charley, Peri, Sally Sparrow. Love crossovers, too.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Fic writing, icon making, squeeing
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: calufrax is pretty damn awesome.
Other things I like to talk about: Other fandom stuff, like Harry Potter, Warehouse 13, Once Upon a Time. Work, cooking, life in rural Australia. Just finished NaNo. I have cats. Around this time of year, lots of talk about Yuletide and how my tomatoes are going.
Anything Else?: Still so happy that Who came back to us. That first time I heard the TARDIS again on my telly? So amazing.
Where else can you find me? LJ and Dreamwidth mostly. (http://archiveofourown.org/users/st_aurafina/profile)st_aurafina (http://archiveofourown.org/users/st_aurafina) for my fic.

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Name: stackcats
Location: FNQ
First Doctor Who Experience: I remember my mum watching re-runs of the original series, but didn't pay much attention until the new series aired.
Eras I Like: All of them! I don't know much about radio/book/CD stories though
Characters/Pairings I Like: Can't think of many characters I don't like? Doctor/Jack is my favourite ship though. And I have a heck of a soft-spot for Ace. And Martha. My favourite Doctors are the ones with odd numbers even though I don't like odd numbers in other contexts.
Favorite Fandom Activities: I'm a bit quiet in fandom at the moment so my answer should probably be "lurking" but I do enjoy writing fic when I have time.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: No?
Other things I like to talk about: Everything! Gaming, baking, writing, books, nature, science, jewellery, cats... um, the weather? It's hot, by the way.
Anything Else?: I should mention that I can't stand River Song. Cannot. Stand. Her.
I'm also not as into Eleven in general as I was with Nine and Ten, but having said that, Asylum Of The Daleks is right up there with one of my favourite stories ever. Series 7 has been better so far than series 5 and 6 combined.
Where else can you find me? ...in my flat?

i'll be your friend!

oh wait... we already are. never mind.

Name: aralias / aralias

Location: London, UK

First Doctor Who Experience: i really wanted to like doctor who for a long time, because i knew deep down that it was something i really loved that i just hadn't quite got the hang of loving yet (long scarves! saving the universe using your wits and a screwdriver!). unfortunately, i completely failed to enjoy 'rose' and spent the rest of the year saying i didn't like doctor who. i also started watching some classic who that was on DVD because i was obsessed with 'queer as folk' (a most excellent series), but it's difficult to like episode 1 of 'planet of the daleks' (all my uni had in its library. for some reason), and for reasons i no longer remember i also didn't like 'remembrance of the daleks' (which i now think is great, obviously). started watching properly from 'christmas invasion' (which is now my favourite new who episode), and started engaging with fandom from 'sound of drums'.

Eras I Like: all of them to some extent, but my favourite to write and read are five, six, eight (particularly BFAs and the EDAs). i've also started reading a tonne of EDAs, benny's NAs, and dabbled in seven's NAs. if it's an obscure branch of canon - i probably like it. a lot. i love the sarah jane adventures and it is how Who should be, to a certain extent - but i am not as fannish about it as i should be.

Characters/Pairings I Like: my Who OTP is doctor/master (any variation of) and the master is one of my favourites, generally. i wrote a really long list of characters i liked here, but it increasingly seemed pointless and i felt bad for not including ben and polly, even though they are great.

so- top five (not including the doctor or the master, and in no particular order and i'll probably feel really bad about not including someone later): the brig, benny, braxiatel, lucie miller, fitz kreiner (although i also love anji and compassion like whoah)

Favorite Fandom Activities:leaving out watching/reading/listening to the core texts - writing/reading fic. talking about what was very good or bad, often with bursts of capslock... podfic. i'm very slowly making a series of scream of the shalka audios with a group of nice and talented people.

Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: i mod best_enemies (doctor/master, not really my comm), morepolitics (a big finish's 'gallifrey' fest - now including benny), henriettastreet (EDAs - this isn't really my comm, but i'm part of it), podtor_who (doctor who podfic fest).

i also like and highly recommend: who_daily, calufrax, dwcanon_fodder, sizeofthatthing (woe that it is no more)

and would like the following fests to run again: sixathon (hint hint), tardis_gen (i said i would try and steal this one and make it my own actually, so - maybe will do that next year)

part 2 to follow

[aralias.livejournal.com]

this is part 2. i didn't think i had so much to say, sorry.

Other things I like to talk about: writing, star trek, hornblower, my boring life in publishing, baking, i think that is pretty much it.... because i mostly talk about obscure doctor who spin-offs, and hornblower (in the last week, and some years previously. it flares up occasionally). i also post pictures of my cat sometimes.

Anything Else?: hornblower's really good. why not watch some hornblower, eh? it's about a dashing naval officer during the napoleonic wars who uses his brains (and also fighting skills) to take ships and storm bases, and generally inspire the love of his men without realising that this is happening (because he is rubbish with emotions). it's shot very expensively and looks amazing. and is written very well. and ioan grufford has a wonderful, expressive face.

the books are arguably even better.

Where else can you find me? i've officially moved to DW, so if you'd prefer to friend me there, that would be excellent. aralias

Location: NE England
First Doctor Who Experience: The last five minutes of The Happiness Patrol, when I was 11. And then Silver Nemesis, and I knew I'd found the best TV show on Earth. (I know. What can I say? I started reading Target novelisations with Time-Flight. Nothing puts me off DW.)
Eras I Like: All of them! I have special love for Seven and Ace, enjoy Eleven more than Nine and Ten and probably have a little more love for the neglected 60s and 80s Classic Doctors (but as soon as I type that I'll feel bad for everyone I maligned even a little there). I love Big Finish, although I am behind on all their ranges and adore Eight and Charley and Six and Evelyn especially. (I'm quite a bit behind, I said...). I read lots of the novels long ago and love Benny muchly (though it's hampering not knowing the audios).
Characters/Pairings I Like: Seven&Ace, Eleven, One, Ian/Barbara, Vicki, Ben/Polly, Two, Zoe, Brig/Liz, Sarah/Harry, Romana I, Leela (Leela/Anyone), Five/Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough, Six&Peri, Mel, Evelyn, Eight, Charley, Lucie (sometimes Eight/Charley), Martha, Donna. But I really do like everyone I can think of quite a lot. Those are just favourites.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Writing, reading (although I am v bad at being able to read much online just now, or write much more than ficlets), icon-making, picspams, vidding, writing memes, discussing ideas and anything constructive really.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: calufrax, whoniverse1000 and probably others I've forgotten.
Other things I like to talk about: I will waffle on about anything that takes my fancy (I'm sorry). At the moment lots of old (usually british) TV (for reasons), and I love Blake's 7, Sapphire & Steel, Press Gang, Spooks and many other fandoms, especially tiny and weird ones. David Collings (Random Character Actor appreciation is a thing). History, children's literature, libraries, and family history are the non-fannish things I'm most likely to mention.
Anything Else?: eve11 said at first about including things we're proud of, and I've thought since: I am proud of dw_straybunnies which still exists and has generated quite a bit of fic over 2 or 3 years - and everyone on it has been lovely. (Otherwise, you're pretty much warned now).
Where else can you find me? I am also lost_spook at Dreamwidth, at Tumblr (mostly for offloading my screencaps of old TV), and on AO3. However, I am vvj5 at Teaspoon.

And then Silver Nemesis, and I knew I'd found the best TV show on Earth.

This is amazing. Adding you. :)

First Doctor Who Experience: Hard to pin it down at this remove, but I'm now more or less sure it was the original broadcast of The Five Doctors, when I must have been five. I think I might have seen bits and pieces beforehand, but it's all a haze now. Anyway, the Raston Warrior Robot killin' the heck out of those poor Cybermen imprinted itself indelibly upon my memory-banks.
Eras I Like: I find things to like about all eras, but at heart I'm an oldschool fan. Seven is "my" Doctor, beyond a doubt, but Four, Two, One, Three, follow in a forever-changing order, and it's not as if I dislike Six and Five, either. Of the new series Doctors, Eleven pips the others for me. I like SJA and Torchwood too, if they count.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Not counting Doctors, and in no particular order; Ace, Romana (both of her), the Brigadier and the UNIT chaps, Liz Shaw, Ian, Barbara, Susan, Sarah Jane, Harry Sullivan, the Master, Amy, Rory, Mickey, Martha, Donna...er, all of the rest, possibly, too? My "ships" include Doctor(s)/Romana (I'm a bit obsessed with that one, tbh), Liz/Brig, Sarah/Harry, Ian/Barbara, Ben/Polly...Doctor/TARDIS and Doctor/Master too, probably.
Favorite Fandom Activities: I write fic, or I did anyway. I plan to get more active during the anniversary year.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: calufrax who_like_giants fic_rush dw_straybunnies doctorwho. It's probably cheeky to advertise my own comm, but who_at_50 is always looking for new members.
Other things I like to talk about: Tbh I don't seem to talk about much other than DW, but my interests include film and television of a certain age, esp. sf, horror and other "genre stuff", sf and fantasy literature, football (i.e. soccer). I've dabbled in comics, but wouldn't call myself well-read in that medium. I occasionally get opinionated on matters of politics and current affairs, although I don't normally trouble LJ with that kind of thing.
Anything Else?: Er...*insert pithy wisecrack*
Where else can you find me? Just about all of my Who fic I feel like sharing is on the Teaspoon. Death by Aspirin is a nice little forum.I'm making greater use of my Dreamwidth account now.

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, good, a Seven fan! Must friend... Oh, wait... ;-)

And, yes, even if I am a bad reader at the mo, I am improving, and there should be much, much more fic from you again, yes, especially containing Seven and Ace. (I don't think it's cheeky to mention your own comm at all, btw. I hope you get some more people via this; it's an exciting idea!)

Name: ladyhadhafang
Location: Earth.
First Doctor Who Experience: First saw "A Good Man Goes To War".
Eras I Like: The RTD era. Moffat is doing beautifully, but Davies is My Showrunner.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Doctor/Rose, Doctor/Master, Amy/Rory, Martha/Jack, Donna/Jack, Jack Harkness, Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, Tenth Doctor, River Song, Doctor/River, Amy Pond, The Master, Rory Williams, Oswin Oswald, Harriet Jones, Wilfred Mott, Chantho, Professor Yana.

Favorite Fandom Activities: Fanfiction, meta, icons, fan art.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: best_enemies and doctor_rose_fix, to name a few. :)

Other things I like to talk about: Star Wars, fanfiction, political issues, writing, etc. Pretty much anything goes.
Where else can you find me? I go by ladyofleithian on both Tumblr and Dreamwidth, and idrilhadhafang on AO3.

[lonewytch.livejournal.com]

I also love Doctor/River and Amy/Rory. And meta. And fangirling :). Let's be friends.

[jessicaqueen.livejournal.com]

Name: Jessica Queen, or Queen of the Castle
Location: Brisbane, Australia
First Doctor Who Experience: A friend tried to get me to watch Classic Who for years on end to no avail, but I watched 'Rose' in early 2008 on the recommendation of a different friend. From there, I was hooked.
Eras I Like: New Who, with a leaning particularly towards the RTD era.
Characters/Pairings I Like: I think I've written pretty much every major New Who character paired with pretty much every other major New Who character at some stage. There's nothing I won't try. Rory and Donna are my very favourite characters in gen fic, and for pairings it will always be Doctor/Rose and Doctor/Master... and Doctor/Rose/Master threesome fic as well, of course, but hardly anyone actually writes that! Woe.
Favorite Fandom Activities: Fic, fic and more fic. Preferrably with a bit of smut on the side, lol.
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: who_daily, of course. I'd never have a clue what was going on if not for that. And I love inspiring prompts, so comms like then_theres_us and who_contest are my natural habitat.
Other things I like to talk about: Anything other than real life, tbh; I try to keep that well separated. About three-quarters of my journal is at least vaguely fic-oriented. Most often you'll catch me rambling about whichever of my other fandoms I'm currently active in. At the moment those are mainly Harry Potter, Sherlock and Star Wars, but others decide to pop in and out whenever they feel like it.
Anything Else?: Don't worry, I'll try very hard not to get any of the crazy on you. :D
Where else can you find me? AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/users/queen_of_the_castle_77/works) and Teaspoon (http://www.whofic.com/viewuser.php?uid=13032) are my fic hideouts. Otherwise I'm most often right here on LJ.

First Doctor Who Experience: Grampa and I used to watch the really old First Doctor stuff when I was a kid on the CBC, and then we used to travel around with Gramma in a really old motorhome and have our own adventures. I was really little!
Eras I Like: One, Three, Eight, Nine, Ten.
Characters/Pairings I Like: Susan Foreman/Jack Harkness (don't ask, lol), Doctor/Rose (to a point), Doctor/River, Doctor/River/Jack, Doctor/Rose/Jack, Doctor/Patience, Braxiatel, Romana, Susan Foreman, Jack Harkness, Donna Noble, Mickey Smith, Rory Williams
Favorite Fandom Activities: Fan fiction, cosplay
Any favorite Doctor Who LJ Communities: loads of them?
Other things I like to talk about: Cars, motorcycles, wine, writing in general (one way I make a living), insurance & financial stuff (the real way I make a living), environmental issues, homesteading and survival, camping, hunting, outdoors, biking (as in on a bicycle), skiing, winter sports in general, fishing, swimming, sex.
Anything Else?: I tend to spend a lot of time traveling and can't settle my arse. I married my own version of "Jack Harkness" who regularly lives up to his name. I'm one of the few people around (But thankfully more business types are coming around) that believe money, sustainablity and fair wages and treatment of workers and employees are not impossible to marry together.
Where else can you find me? EVERYWHERE!
