• 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 dark_aegis :

1) What's your favourite pass time?

*whistles innocently* Oh, you mean the one I can discuss in polite company? *arches eyebrow*

Hmm... I really enjoy good tv, and good books. Simple, yes. But it works for me.

2) If you had the chance to meet a famous person from any era in human history - an actor/actress or a famous leader or whatnot - who would it be and why?

Jane Austen or William Shakespeare. I'd love to have dinner with them, just because they have produced some of my favorite literature ever. I'd like to hear their take on what we've done to their works over the past couple of centuries. Also, I suspect that they both have very snarky sides that I'd very much like to see.

3) What surprises you the most about Doctor Who fandom?

How disparate it is, and how the different groups really don't seem to know of the other's existence. LJ Who fandom seems to not know anything or care about Gallifrey Base, and vice-versa. I feel like I float in the middle, since I love the show, I go to cons, but I don't necessarily feel like I belong in either community, especially since I married into fandom during the Wilderness years, and I'm not a ficcer.

4) If you could do anything - have superpowers, go somewhere, win the lottery, etc - what would it be and why?

Same answer asmichaeldthomas, for obvious reasons. I'd like the power to heal Cait. I love her as she is, but if I had the ability to fix her chromosomes so that she wouldn't have to go through having Aicardi Syndrome, I'd do that in a heartbeat. Half of one, even.

5) What's your favourite holiday?

Like michaeldthomas, I'm also a total sucker for Christmas. The hokier, cheesier, overly saccharine, sentimental, and romantic, the better. I'm seriously excited about the ABC Family rom-com christmas specials, and I devour a pile of Christmas-themed romance novels each year, in addition to all the usual specials and cartoons. I'm not particularly religious, but I really enjoy the notion that this time of year, most of us remember to be a little nicer to one another, and I wish we could manage to do that year round. Also? Great bargains for shopping, yo. Our house always looks like it vomited Christmas this time of year. It's harder and harder to wait until after Halloween to put up the tree. I seriously don't mind seeing all the Christmas stuff in the stores right now. It makes me strangely happy.
