Ten Doctors
13. Do you watch any of the spinoffs (e.g. Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures)?

I wish the Highlander would still exist, I would love to see how Jamie and the Doctor got together ehm met each other.
Fandom
1. Do you write fanfic for Doctor Who?
Yes.
1a. If so, post a snippet of a work-in-progress (or several)!
My plunnies are on a strike, but I haven't given up on my Jack.Hearts.The.Doctor series, nor my DS9 crossover.
2. Do you create Doctor Who icons?
Nope, I'm crappy with electronics
2a. Let's see a sample!
3. Recommend a fanfic/icon/fanvid/fancomic/fancreation!
Any vid by babelcolor over at youtube
Oh and They are good people by Redrose
4. Have you been to any Doctor Who conventions?
Nothing like that over here, only a public screening of Rose, when it was first aired here..
5. Have you ever dressed up as a Doctor Who character?
Nope, although I sometimes dress silly enough, that I coulkd be the eleventh incarnation ; )
6. Do you own any Doctor Who merchandise?
Yep I one a Dalek bottle opener at the screening, and my roomie shares her sonic screw driver with us.
7. Are you a fan of Russell T Davies?
He gave us Who back - - - But honstly he should stop, his creativity has run dry on this series.
7a. Steven Moffat?
Yes. I love that man!
7b. Paul Cornell?
Have to read the ebook first, I think the tv adaption had one or two weaknesses.
8. What say you to Season 6b?
To quote Vandonovan: CANON
9. The UNIT dating controversy?
I wasn't aware there was a controversy...
10. The Blinovitch Limitation effect?
Obviously a good way to give stories a real MEANING although time travel is possible, which makes it great for storytelling.
11. Multi-Doctor episodes?
Oh I LOVE them (like I stated somewhere above). There can't be enough Multi-Doctor in my 'verse (another reason RTD should quit honestly)
12. What's your favourite Doctor Who technobabble?
I normally turn my ears another way, when it starts. Although being a mathematician I loved the bit about happy primes (which isn't really babble so it doesn't count) oh and Newton's revenge part in the Pirate planet 'No one should play around with the law of conversation of momentum' (likewise)
13. Have you watched other TV shows exclusively because of the presence of Doctor Who actors?
I would've never watched 'With or Without You' or 'Elizabeth' if it hadn't been for Eccleston, but I liked him before Who (Although I LOVE him because of the Doctor)
14. Have you met any of the actors?
Nope (Fat Chance living in Germany)
14a. Travelled to any filming locations?
See the above.
15. What do you think of The Curse of Fatal Death?
Want to see it (It's a Steven Moffat after all, which makes it canon practically)
16. Do you have any fannish opinions that you think are fairly unpopular?
I think Rose/Ten mostly sucked (I loved Nine/Rose, but the overall writing of season 2 was so bad...) I really was glad she was gone and I DON'T WANT HER BACK!
Oh and I think Torchwood Jack sucks :(
17. What's your favourite pairing?
Doctor/Jamie, Doctor/Rose/Jack in any variation
18. What pairing(s) won't you touch with a really long pole?
Doctor/Martha (sorry folks, the whole relation between them is defined by his pining after Rose)
Doctor/Ace (their relationship is too much teacher/pupil for me to feel comfortable about it)
Master/anyone but the Doctor (if that maniac loved anyone then the Doctor)
Anything Torchwood (except maybe Ianto/Jack - I don't like the characters)
Any ship including Adric, Mel or Jo those don't deserve to be loved.
