• Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions (I'll also answer more, if asked)

From persiflage_1:

1 - If Moffat was to bring back one Classic Who character (from TV or movies), which one would you most like to see? Ooo, tough choice. Sarah Jane's already back, and K-9 could have stayed in the black hole. While I could argue equally for Leela or Romana, who I'm really going to pick is Liz Shaw. I'm quite convinced that she and Sarah Jane have been pen pals for years anyway, and I'd love to see how she's done with her own lab, her brains, and her experience.

2 - Who's your favourite Big Finish writer? It's tempting to say "Nev Fountain" for writing my hands-down favorite, or Jaqueline Rayner for writing stories that I like across the board, but the one prolific Big Finish author who has never, ever disappointed me is Rob Shearman. I really must buy his anthologies.

3 - What got you into knitting? Greed and Doctor Who. When I was Jr. Year Abroad in London, I used to go down to Selfriges and buy another skein of yarn every week, which I was knitting into a Who scarf while I listened to the American and British Top 20s on the radio. That was the only thing I knit in just about ever... until 20+ years later when my mother had some nifty knitted washcloths someone gave her and wouldn't give me any. I thought "I knit once, I could learn to make one" and this time, it "took." (And Mother wants me to knit her more.)

4 - What kind of music do you like? Do I strike you as having just one? :D My car radio stations are set to Top 10, country and oldies; my ipod favorites playlist adds in folk with dashes of acapella and Bollywood & Broadway soundtracks. The shortest answer is probably "anything but rap and jazz." The shameful answer is "I love bubblegum pop."

5 - What's your favourite feel-good movie? The best I can do is narrow it down to Emma, Much Ado About Nothing (the Emma Thompson one) and While You Were Sleeping. Seasonally, I'll add in the musical Scrooge. It's just not Christmas until someone dances on a coffin!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Ugh! I wrote 'movies' when I meant audios. *sighs* Never mind! I'd totally love to see Liz back again - I especially want to see Liz, SJ and Martha in an episode together: the Doctor-lite one, I think, 'cos who needs him when you've got those three on the case?!

And since I've got a set of questions from someone else awaiting my answers, Resistance is Unavailing...

[box-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Pssst ...

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

No I'm not!

I do have your LJ on my watch list, you know, so I've already seen you've posted.

[box-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

No I'm not!

You're not what?

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Pissed (Psst)!

[box-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Ah. I wasn't saying "pissed," though. :)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I know that - it was a joke.

*sigh*

My punny humour is wasted...

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Audios? That's easy - any Stephen Briggs reading of Terry Pratchett. (Which one, unsurprisingly, depends on my mood at the moment.)

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'm so losing track of who I've asked questions of...

1) Your favorite Big Finish author.

2) Dream review job would be to review...

3) Discworld character you most want to see in the Whoniverse.

4) Whoniverse character you most want to see on the Discworld.

5) Favorite Austen book.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Cheers...

[box-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Resistance is futile. :)

[neadods.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised how hard I'm working to come up with questions that don't involve your sex life.

1) We know you don't like the current Spiderman storyline. What would your fantasy storyline be?

2) Any fictional character visits the Whoniverse. Who is it, and which show do they visit?

3) Why no interests in your profile?

4) You can pass ONE law with full Gov't support. It is...

5) You can write one episode of SJA (must be airable under CBBC rules). It is...

[box-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

This will take time ...

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Good, then I've asked things that take thought.

[mondyboy.livejournal.com]

Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical (which you can pre-order with Big Finish) is bloody marvellous. I had the opportunity (and privilege) to read each of the stories as he finished them, and so I speak from knowledge. Very highly recommended.

Tiny Death, unfortunately, is mostly out of print.

[thanatos-kalos.livejournal.com]

I second that recommendation-- Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical is absolutely brilliant. :)

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to pick up a copy at ChicagoTARDIS and get it signed. As for Tiny Deaths... that only makes the hunt more interesting!

[thanatos-kalos.livejournal.com]

Resistance is floortile futile!

[neadods.livejournal.com]

1) Your fantasy job would be...

2) Your one book/author on a desert island would be...

3) Fantasy convention lineup.

4) If you got into the TARDIS, you'd ask the Doctor to take you to...

5) One historical event you'd change.

[calliopes_pen]

Resistance is Futile.

1) One fictional character you'd like to show up in the Whoniverse, and which show.

2) Who do you think Jack the Ripper was?

3) Favorite role of Derek Jacobi's.

4) Fantasy role you'd like to see Derek Jacobi do.

5) How the heck do you keep up with that size of a flist and communities list?

[gonzai55.livejournal.com]

Resistance is futile. I am dyslexia of the Borg. Prepare to have your ass laminated.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

1) Desert Island, one book or author. It is...?

2) Book you most wish you'd written.

3) Book you most wish you'd written because unlike the idiot who did, you'd get it right.

*resistance is futile*

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'll kick off with the same one I'm asking everyone - what character from another book/movie do you want to show up in the Whoniverse?

And then I'm going to steal Pers' question because it's a good one - if Moffat brings back one more character from classic Who, it will be...

Fictional woman you think is the best feminist role model.

"Lazy gourmet" is an interest. What's your favorite lazy gourmet meal?

With all the squee going on for the new Holmsian movies - do you like the sendups better or do you enjoy the parodies but prefer the serious versions? (Bonus question - have you seen Without a Clue?)

What's your favorite kind of music?
