Yes, it is a big one Jamie!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Hello all! My name is HATI/Fishpaste/Oi-You/Getoffmyplanetnow!/Whatever and I seem to be suffering from a strange disease called Whovism. I will equally point out it is all the fault of this forum in the first place. One minute I'm happily watching NuWho and reading their fanfiction and then I happen to spot an interesting ficlet that involved cake, chains and a new Doctor called Three. Things went downhill from there and now I know far too much about Classic and EU Who, more than any sane person is supposed too I'm sure.

So I decided to come and say hello. *waves*

Unimportant facts about me: Female, living in the UK, Student of English Language.
Important Facts: Favourite Doctor:         6. Or 5. Well...8 maybe? But can't forget 10! And 3 is amazing...
                        Favourite Companion:   I only get to choose one?! Ace maybe? Or Harry? Or Donna! No, wait, Jamie! For Frith's sake, how do you choose? It's worse than                                                         choosing a Doctor! 
                        Watched:                     None of Hartnell sadly, all of Troughton, all of Pertwee, Most of Baker, some Davison, a bit more Baker, most of McCoy. No Mcgann                                                          (yet). All of Eccleston, all of Tennant, half of Smith and none of Capaldi. (again, yet) 
                         Read:                        Most of the EDAs, half of the VNAs and a couple of VMAs. Rather hard to find those.
                        Listened to:                 No Big Finish as of yet. It's another enourmous thing to get into, let me finish everything else first!


Erm...that's all folks! So, er, hello?

Hello fishpaste! I'm starpanda. I stumbled across this forum (and indeed Classic Who) in exactly the way you did. I too started with the new series but went back after discovering this forum and fell in love with Three. I very much like getting to know people who love Five, Eight, and Three! Hm, favorite companion? Probably Jo. Actually, definitely Jo. I'm a female student in the US, studying physics.

Unfortunately I've never read any of the EDAs. I have listened to a bit of Big Finish, but like you said, it's compendious.

You should come join us at Doctor Who Live! Every other Saturday we watch some Doctor Who over on livestream. All the information is in the Announcements.

Anyway, welcome to Death by Aspirin! Hope you enjoy your stay.

Hello and welcome, fishpaste!

I'm Maggadin and I've been around here for about five years now. My favourite Doctor is Four, followed by One and Seven and my favourite companion is Romana (both of her!), but I'm also very fond of the ones you mentioned (especially Ace!).

Hope you enjoy your time here.

Hello there! And welcome, new member! The cakefic reeled you in? It does that to people.

I know what you mean about that condition of yours - I seem to have been suffering with the same affliction myself for quite a number of years now. I'm afraid I'm (just about) old enough to have watched the twilight years of the classic series when they were actually showing on my parents' 1980s telly-box, but you know, this new series malarkey has kind of grown on me... I agree it's next to impossible to single out just one Doctor (although if you forced me to, it'd be Seven) - good call with Ace at the front of your list of companions!

So yeah, I've been around here a while now, just over six years I think, and I seem to have sort of inherited the helm here for the time being due to people moving on to other commitments, so if you've got any questions just let me know (although I don't actually have admin access, so don't ask me anything too technical! )

And yes, please come to DW Live if you would like, although as a fellow UKian the timezones are not the friendliest from our p.o.v...

Hello, fishpaste. It feels strange to say that. Anyway, I've just returned after months of computer trouble, to find a board which feels a bit deserted, sort of like the beginning of Invasion of the Dinosaurs, come to think. It may be the holidays.

I've been around a few years here. I'm very much an old guard Who fan. I was actually involved in American DW fandom circa the late 1980s. Favorite Dr/companion: Four/Leela, fave story unsurprisingly: Talons of Weng Chiang.

I'm afraid I must accept responsibility for a certain amount of Cakefic.
