Character Meme, from everyone

[selenak]

Am a) travelling again, b) trying to make a theatrical_muse decision and still deeply torn, so, clearly, it's time to give in to the power of the meme.

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you either (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

Fandoms available are the Jossverse ones, new Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who (Old and New, but don't ask me about Two, Five and Six stuff if you can avoid it, because those are the Doctors I've seen the fewest adventures of), Heroes, Dexter, Alias, Babylon 5 and Star Trek (every incarnation except Enterprise).

Honestly, I'm not a Rose fan, either. I mean, I like her, but there were Companions before I liked better, and I liked both Companions after better than her, too. I'm pretty much neutral with some mild fondness on Rose. But okay, three Rose fanon facts:

1) One of the things she did in the AU!universe was to look up Sarah Jane, despite the fact that AU!Sarah Jane obviously wouldn't know either her or the Doctor. But she wanted to, and they hit it off.

2) She meant it when she told Micky he was the bravest (human) man she'd ever known (in the s2 finale). (This includes Jack; sorry, Jack fans.) Incidentally, this doesn't mean she's sorry her romance with Micky ended, but sometimes, she thinks she loves him more now as her best friend than she did when they were a couple.

3) Rose really likes EastEnders. She made Jackie tape the episodes for her and takes the tapes with her on the TARDIS when she leaves again.

Yes, they do make a nice pairing - they went from catfight to female bonding pretty fast in that episode.

Sigh. Mickey is amazing. But yeah, it doesn't seem that she particularly loved him, at least not in a romantic sense.

Actually, that helps make some sense of the character.

I've been going through DW meta...since you know my tastes pretty well, anything in particular you think I should read?

Great Maker, as Londo would say. DW is such a huge field with its 40 years of backstory. But here's a selection of stuff, meta and fanfic, which you might enjoy:

Meta:


Jackie Tyler leaves tv on (http://paulcornell.blogspot.com/2006/07/doctor-who-jackie-tyler-leaves-tv-on.html) - Paul Cornell on New Who (Paul Cornell being one of the few writers who had written for Old Who as well; outstanding New Who episodes include "Father's Day" and "Human Nature" )

My Girl in the Fireplace review (http://selenak.livejournal.com/219457.html), because that episode was meta in itself, and clever meta.

My take on Tenth Doctor after the first two seasons (http://selenak.livejournal.com/248163.html) of New Who


Race on New Who (http://londonkds.livejournal.com/174245.html) - written after the first two seasons.

War Time Morality On Dr. Who (http://thanatos-kalos.livejournal.com/432721.html) (This one includes s3 info)

The Runaway Bride and season 3 (http://selenak.livejournal.com/306859.html) by yours truly again, and I know you haven't seen any of that yet, but it IS the Who meta I'm happiest with


Fanfic:


http://lordshiva.livejournal.com/187610.html - Sarah Jane and Ten post season 2. Did I mention I adore Sarah Jane?


http://lostluggage.org.uk/?p=48 - wonderfully creepy take on the Who saga as a fairy tale


http://misscam.livejournal.com/277152.html - several Companions and a theme.
