A few things:

[cosmic_celery]

First, a question: Do you think that a story can be successfully written from the POV of a character's stream of consciousness? I was playing with the idea, but I'm not entirely sure if it works. I don't mean just first-person, I mean actual head-speak if you will. Maybe this would work better with an example?

Extending a hand to turn the left buffering dial, and –

Oh. and there, sitting, suddenly – well, perhaps not so suddenly, I could have overlooked – nonsense. No. Couldn’t have. Suddenly, something’s there. Bright pink cardstock folded in half, a pressed flower on its front (a geranium? Yes, I think so). …folded in half, pressed white geranium on its front. I’ll pick it up, examine the front…What do white geraniums represent again? Preference? Doe-eyed compassion? Remembrance? I don’t recall.

Any which way, it’s still rather strange, isn’t it? - Bright pink cardstock folded in half, with a pressed white geranium signifying something or most probably nothing at all on its front, suddenly appearing on top of the TARDIS console waiting to be found by me. Most strange. Most strange indeed.

And speaking of Six, I've just started RPing him over at brb_gallifrey. It's a fun community, and neat to have a character interacting with real people as well as other characters. Everyone should stop by, especially since I'm running the Six weeks in the Classic Who watch-a-thon! No treats to anyone who guesses which episode I'm picking first - it's too easy.

And a meme:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...


dragonessa24 gave me these:
1. How did you get into Doctor Who?
The memory is a bit fuzzy, to be honest, but I think I started when the Christopher Eccleston series started on SciFi channel here. Then I looked up all the classic stuff, and I've become much more a fan of that than of the new series. So, in some ways Five is "my Doctor," because he's the first I saw the complete episodes of, and in some ways it's Nine because he's who I started with. As for my favorite, that's a tie between Five and Six. :)

I really got sucked into Doctor Who, I think, because the universe is so big, has been around for such a long time, and has so much spin-off media, that I can go off and dive in at any point and still come up with much more to explore.

2. What do you think of Matt Smith as Eleven?
I don't know. Before he was announced, I wanted an older actor in the role - perhaps more of a Pertwee type. I haven't seen Smith as the Doctor yet, and I'm reserving judgment 'till then, but I am looking forward to seeing what he and Moffat are going to do with the show!

3. Which BF audios have you listened to and which one is your favorite?
Not many, but I've definitely enjoyed the ones that I have listened to. My favorite is probably Loup Garou, because of the good Turlough moments. They gave him some good material in that one. All of the Turlough audios are good, really. For Six, both ...ish and Year of the Pig because he gets to be verbose and intellectual and very Six in both, and I love that.

I've just finished Scherzo which I really liked. It's an eighth Doctor audio with Charley right after Zagreus and it all takes place in one location (pretty much), which makes almost the entire thing dialogue between the Doctor and Charley. I love stories that are limited like that. Which brings me to...

4. What's your favorite Stargate Atlantis episode, and why?
There's no doubt that it's Grace Under Pressure, in which Rodney is stuck in a puddle jumper, switching between monologue and hallucination for most of the episode. Having one character in a scene is definitely a challenge for the writer, and the limited scope really brings out the character and creates an engaging story - the kind you can't have with fifteen different characters and an evil alien force. Rodney's the best possible character they could have picked to give that sort of episode...and I'm a sucker for any looks into any character's thought processes and inner world.

5. What sciences are you interested in?
Uh...well, I've always been a bit more for science fiction than actual, hard science. Science isn't my field of study, but I can't say that I'm disinterested in it either. I like all science and I'm particularly interested in how the world of theoretical physics is branching out to better understand the universe big and small. I just don't know very much about it, and I wish I knew more. Just another thing to research into!

Which stories did you do that with, and can I read them? Sometimes it's nice to see how other people have done things. As for Five having more thought control, I don't know. I think he just has more speech control. ;)

brb_gallifrey is pretty much what it says on the tin. It's a fun comm, and also a bit nuts. There's definitely a sense of community there, and the people there are really very accepting. At first it was mostly New!Who fans, but now it's grown a bit, and we're doing the classic watchalong - so there's a bunch of love for the classic series as well. Sometimes it goes over the silly quota a bit, but that's sort of what it's meant to do.

1. Hmm, not a Hi5 - Five is way too dignified for the High five, as documented by that awesome moment in Time Crash. man, if I need a gif of anything, that is it. Ah well, but yes! Excuse my wild tangents.

3. Yes, the Doctor is pretty dark in Scherzo, isn't he? I think I like that every once in a while, when it's done the right way. And I think they played it very well in that audio.

1. Who is your favorite character to write and why?
2. What sort of music do you listen to?
3. Have you ever ordered a cheeseburger without cheese? (and I hope you know what I'm referencing)
4. What's your favorite place?
5. If all of the Doctors got in a fight, who would win?

Sure! Ah...now I can't find them. Apparently they are not on the master list. *ponders* And you do have a point. ;)

:D I do like a bit of silliness.

1. Your wild tangents are lovely. XD I may have some Issues with Time Crash but that moment was brilliant. Poor Ten.

3. He really is, in a disturbing but understanding way, which is why it's so effective.

Whee, questions!

Oh, well do let me know if you find them! :)
