1. What made you friend me/ where do you know my lj from?
I've seen you commenting on other friends' journals and you seemed like an interesting person. I also think I met you at Oxonmoot - you were with parrot_knight and had tapas on the Saturday evening at the bar in Blue Boar Street? Or I may have got completely confused - it's by no means unknown.
2. Who's 'your' Doctor (as in Who?)
Peter Davidson, definitely. I have vague memories of some of the later Tom Baker stories, but the Fifth Doctor is the first one I really connected with.
3. Have you done any fannish cross-stitch projects yourself?
I must admit I haven't. I've never been particularly interested in stitching people - I'm never that impressed with the results. I could have gone for symbols, I suppose, but I haven't come across anything that has demanded that I stitch it.
4. What is guaranteed to make you hit 'back' when reading fan-fic?
I do tend to try and finish stories once I start them, if I stop part way through I'm more likely to have the story preying on my brain afterwards. If I finish it I can then file it under never bother with that author again and mostly forget about it. Of course, if the first few paragraphs are so badly spelled, punctuated etc that I struggle to read it, them I will probably give up.
5. Who's your favourite Bujold character?
Ooh, that's not an easy one. I do have a lot of admiration for Ekaterin, I think she shows a strength of character that a lot of TV's kick-ass chicks could do with aiming for when they grow up.
