sallymn asked: How do you think you'd fit into your favourite fannish show as a character?

That would be Doctor Who and how well I would fit would probably depend on the Doctor. I think I would get along with One and be a bit exasperated by Two. Three and I would get along splendidly, I am sure, but probably not so much with Four. Five’s vagueness would make my inner bossiness emerge with a vengeance and I would walk out on Six the first time he comes with a derogatory remark about my person. I hate being manipulated, so I don’t think I would go on well with Seven and I would probably have to fight my maternal instinct when it comes to Eight. I think I would like None, but he would find me boring. Ten is far too angsty for me and Eleven would drive me bonkers. I think I would get along very well with Twelöve, though. (None of these opinion reflect how much I like a Doctor, but how their personalities would fit with mine.)

I wouldn’t be a very good companion, though. I don’t like running and I’m not an adrenaline junkie. Constant danger would just stress me out. But I think I would fit quite well working at UNIT.

Indeed, surely UNIT must need traffic info! Although actually your safety would probably be even more at risk as a minor background UNIT member than as a companion. ;-)

Well, info, in any case.

I guess you are right, but possibly not the run as fast as you can on a regular basis. :)

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Yep, gotta be prepared to do an awful lot of running if you're a companion.

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

Yes, you have to be fit! :D

Haha. 11 is my favourite Doctor, but, as Alex Kingston has said, it would be a bit like "working with a puppy" (she was talking about working with Matt Smith, but it was a great comparison, I thought).

I love Eleven! But his personality would make me crazy. :D

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Hee!! I guess it really does depend on the Doctor you are dealing with, yeah? :D

*HUGS*

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it must! Which one would you get along with best? :) *hugs*

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

One would be fun (I like persnickety older people, lol!), Two would also be fun. Three would be too snappish for me. Four would be a whirlwind. Five would be too absent-minded for me. Six would be fun...in REALLY SMALL DOSES. Seven would be too devious. Eight would be anxiety-inducing (seriously, I'm reading his novels...he wanders off too much and leaves Companions in terrible lurches, lol!) Nine would be too closed off, Ten would be too human, Eleven I think I could handle, but there would be times he would scare me - Twelve would be fun...but again, likely in small doses, lol!!

Arrghhh, I can't decide. All of them. Can I just have/keep/run with all of them?!

*HUGS*

Arrghhh, I can't decide. All of them. Can I just have/keep/run with all of them?!

LOL! Of course you can! :D *hugs*

Lol, I wouldn't be a good companion either. I get tired after running a few steps, but I can out walk most people. Huh? Those slow monsters will never get me!

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there will be tortoise or snail monsters somewhere. :)

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

Yeah, picking your Doctor correctly is vital for happy TARDIS travelling. ;) I think I'd want either Two or Three - Two and I would probably drive everybody around us a bit mad though, we'd have far too much fun. Three might be a bit grumpy sometimes but he also reminds me a bit of my Dad so I think we'd work out how to rub along. :)

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Essential to pick the right Doctor! :D

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

Another good question! I really like the way your friends think :D

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

Me too! :D

I wouldn't mind interacting with the 10th doctor. :P
I'm scheduled to meet him for a photo op at a Con this weekend.

Not sure I'd last long as a companion, but it would be fun while it lasted.

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

He is dishy. :) And don't get me wrong- I love Ten. I just don't think I would get along with him so well.

I'm jealous! There not much Con's going on in Sweden, though there is a SF one planned soon.

[thenewbuzwuzz.livejournal.com]

That's an amazingly well thought out answer. (I'm less into Doctor Who than you are, but more into running and adrenaline. I wonder which of us would have more fun in that universe. Depends, of course, on where we land and who we meet.)

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, I guess it would depend on where and when a lot. :)
