"And there's lots of news. Maybe some of it is foreshadowing. And can whoever keeps sending cats in boxes please stop?" - expert from my notes. I love Scrivener too.

26th December and [profile] aeron_lanart asks: Who was your first Doctor? Do you regard that Doctor as 'your' Doctor (if you have a Doctor you regard as your own)?

My first ever Doctor was Nine! I'm of that generation that never really had a childhood Doctor to call their own. Well, I was around during the end of Seven's run, but I doubt I'd have gotten much out of it. Look, I can't even tell what Ghost Light is about now, I wouldn't have had much chance when I was six.

So when the new series started in 2005, that was my introduction to it all, and I fell, hard and fast. There are those very rare fandoms that you engage with, and right at the start everything is wonderful, and perfect, and you fall in love right on the spot and there's nothing you can do to help it. And that was Doctor Who, for me. By the time "Rose" was over, that silly little show had worked its way into my heart and in all the years since, it's never managed to let go.

I'm less certain about my first classic Doctor, but it was probably either One (via An Unearthly Child) or Three (via The Three Doctors). Either way I have a big soft spot for Three because I watched so many of his stories early on.

That said, I don't think I have a Doctor that I would call " mine" - maybe owing to the fact that I didn't have one to grow up on. Funnily enough, I was chatting with my mum about this over dinner earlier tonight, she states hers were Three and Four. But I'm kind of left out of that. I have some that I'm more attached to than others, but none that I would say are really my one true Doctor.

Buuuut. That said again, I have a certain softness for Eleven. Cut for mentions of the most recent episode, even if it's hardly a spoiler I like to be courteous here )

So maybe "my Doctor" is Eleven after all. It's a little nontraditional, but it works.

I'm nearly out of questions - ask me one! I'm having so much fun with this meme, I don't wanna stop. Hell, ask one even if you've asked one before, I don't mind.
