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!

How it Works

Simply post a comment on this entry to tell us about yourself. You can search through comments to connect with other fans with common interests. Here is a sample form to follow if you're stuck for ideas. You can copy the structure from the text box below. Use as much or as little of it as you like.

Where else can you find me? Tumblr, Dreamwidth, Message boards, etc.

Hear hear on the classic who love. And Seven and Ace especially, oh yes. :D So far I think I've heard more audios than seen eps, to my shame, but I'll get to them eventually...!

Also, from a quick look your lj seems quite interesting. Mind if I add?

[thisbluespirit]

Well, I love the audios, too, although I'm behind on a lot of them - so I've catching up to do there!

And, yes, I've friended you! (You said my LJ looked interesting! :lol: ♥)

Seven and Ace are wonderful. I'm biased, because they were my childhood, but it sticks forever.

[stalkerbunny.livejournal.com]

Haha, I just listen to the ones my best friend recommends in random order, so let's not even talk about "catching up". With Seven, so far I've listened to Dust Breeding, Colditz, Shadow of the Scourge and Bang Bang a Boom.

All absolutely fabulous episodes, though it was a bit funny with the last because the other are all with the later, darker Seven (and Ace <3) while Bang Bang a Boom is a Seven and Mel adventure, more lighthearted and humorous and definitely the early more whimsical version of Seven. Which, by comparison, was like... like looking at someone adorable baby photos. Too cute. x'3

Whereas with serials, I've only seen three of them *shame* Time and the Rani (except last ep), Ghostlight and Survival. I keep planning to watch more but get distracted by other stuff. :/

[thisbluespirit]

Well, I've never heard Colditz, so we probably balance each other out. I do tend to go for Six and Eight first on the audios, but I mean to listen to all of them sometime - if I can!

And, anyway, look at it this way - we've both got good thing to look forward to. ;-)

Colditz is an awesome audio, imho! But then I really like Ace and Seven so maybe I'm not totally impartial. x3

Funny detail about Colditz, David Tennant plays an evil nazi guard in it, but I never recognized him during listening. I think the terrible German accent was too distracting. That or panicking on Ace's behalf... That accent though. I think he slipped at one point and went back to a Scottish accent, the poor dear. x''D

It also has the slashiest side characters I've yet come across in any audio...

[thisbluespirit]

People do keep saying that's a good one. Oh, Big Finish, I am so behind, and they never stop for a year or two so I can catch up... ;-)

Heh, I knew David Tennant was in the Unbound and in Medicinal Purposes, I didn't realise he was in that as well...
