Let's talk meme

From [livejournal.com profile] fahye:

Pick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately. This includes both original characters and characters about whom I write fanfic.

Actually, you can extend that to any character I've read a lot of fic about... not that you'd know necessarily, of course. XD My voracious and not-particular-picky fic consumption is (among other things) a way of honing my own ideas of characterization against Fandom, like window shopping or a card-sorting exercise. Right, right, wrong, right, hmm, wrong, poor taste, right. Reading is what creates the model. Writing only introduces quirks.

Or, pick up the meme so I can ask you.

Or-or, I was taking Ask Me Anything questions on my Tumblr the other day - click link, ask me a question?

This is swinging pretty OT from the original post by now, haha

(Late comment is late due to bout of internet apathy. Or, well, really, because I couldn't be arsed to unpack and plug in the usb keyboard, hahaha.)

Haven't actually read that much Donna fic yet, myself -- see that whole Cannot Touch Fic With Ten In It thing, and all, heh; the ones I posted are pretty much what I had bookmarked. But I'll have to make sure to post links anytime I come across something good, then. :D

(Very with you wrt the 'not a shipper, BUT'. I am fervently noromo about Donna and Ten, in fact -- it was just so bloody wonderful to have a male/female friendship that had absolutely no romantic/sexual undertones in a canon for once, especially on this show, hahaha.)

Yeah, the tragedy with Donna wasn't so much the return to earth, as being made to forget all the amazing things she'd seen, and more pertinently the amazing things she's capable of, that she had in fact done. So the fic I crave, consequently, are ones that let her rediscover that huge potential within herself of her own power, in whatever way and whatever form that rediscovery may come. <3
