... Is that a Sandman muse I see? *A*

[liveoddly]

I answer your question with one of my own: IS THAT AN EIGHTH DOCTOR?

(Yeah, I played Hob briefly. It was fun, but the game died, so... I was far too tempted to make these responses IC)

[timespanned]

Yes! Yes, it is! ♥ Yay, someone else who knows Eight~

(Aw, that's too bad about your game. But yay for a Hob muse, nonetheless? |D)

[liveoddly]

Proud Whovian, right here. I didn't like the film much (it was okay, but it didn't feel very Who and Grace was so resoundingly unprofessional all the time that it really bugged me) but Paul McGann's Doctor was amazing. Plus he totally had the best fashion sense of all the Doctors. He's my fourth-favourite Doctor (Yes, I am the kind of Whovian who ranks them in order. Nine and One are tied for the top spot)

That geekery aside... yes, it's a shame the game died. It was a continuation of a long-running LJ game (roleplayedingly), and I modded it, so it felt kind of like a personal failure that it collapsed so quickly. :( I haven't played Hob since, just because I haven't had anywhere to.

/end unnecessarily long and nerdy response

[timespanned]

The film was pretty terrible, ngl. Paul McGann and Daphne Ashbrooks' corset was pretty much the only good thing about it. But he did his best with what he was given, and his audio dramas are excellent. Some of his books are amazing, as well. And yes, Eight was totally the best-dressed. (As far as Classic Who goes, I'm up to Three, and I love them all, so far. *A*)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I've tried modding a few times, but it never worked out very well. I've always been much more comfortable as a player. But if it helps, sometimes games just go poof. It sucks, but it isn't necessarily anybody's fault. But there are lots of nice games on DW, if you ever feel like checking them out~

/totally necessary |D

[liveoddly]

I think the film was just a really failed attempt to Americanise what is about the most British show ever. Because Who doesn't work when it's epic and big-budget (and I do seriously think it's lost something with the advent of CGI), and it doesn't work when it goes Hollywood. But Paul McGann was excellent, he really was. And one day, I shall cosplay Eight.

...actually, one day I would like to get a group together and cosplay all eleven Doctors. THIS IS A THING WHICH MUST HAPPEN.

I've modded a couple of more successful games as well (or at least longer-lasting ones), but it always feels that bit worse when they die. But I mostly RP single-fandom games on IJ now, and I have yet to find any of those where Hob would fit. :p

[timespanned]

Yeah, I agree. Doctor Who is, imo, best left to its own devices. It can be perfectly charming on its own, and whenever it goes for bigger budgets, as much as I enjoy the enhanced effects/sets/costumes/etc., something in the writing tends to come off as trying too hard. And yay! Eight cosplay! :D

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT. ♥

Yeah, that's understandable. And it's a shame, but single-fandom days seem to be losing steam these days. :(

[liveoddly]

I no longer have the old!Who response of OH MY GOD I WANT TO WORK FOR THE BBC PROPS DEPARTMENT, either... But yeah, increasingly it seems to be about BIGGER STAKES! BIGGER MONSTERS! MORE THINGS GOING BOOM! I am becoming very disillusioned with Moffat's Who, although Doctor's Wife and A Town Called Mercy were both excellent. Oddly enough, those were noticeably the simpler ones, effects-wise...

I would, but first I have to find ten more cosplayers and an event to use as an excuse. Soooo...

(How the hell did we get to this conversation from Fifty Shades of Fail?)

[timespanned]

XDDD I know, right? Things going boom can be fun, but not when the writing fails to hold up. And... I definitely agree. I loved s5, it was my favorite, but s6 was such a letdown that I was basically done with s6 by the mid-series finale. s7 isn't as horrible as s6, thankfully, but it's still been pretty "meh" for me. imo, TDW was easily the best episode of s6. I did really enjoy ATCM, though, especially since it took a look at the Doctor's dark side.

Aw. Good luck, though!

(ilu? |D I don't even know.)

[liveoddly]

Angels Take Manhattan physically hurt me with how bad it was. I just kind of feel like Moffat doesn't understand Who at all. Also like he's addicted to Weeping Angels. I think it was very noticeable how many of the decent episodes were ones he wasn't responsible for, although I am going to miss Amy and Rory.

ty! We'll see what I can do... (If all else fails, I'm tempted to make it my mission to cosplay all eleven Doctors myself. But I might have trouble with Nine, on account of the lack of hair)

(Because we're awesome. Let's go with that)

[timespanned]

Yeah, the plot holes were pretty overwhelming, sadly. I think the Weeping Angels are lovely, but they're a far cry from terrifying, which is what a decent chunk of the fandom seems to think they are. And yeah, I agree. I liked Oswin well enough, but the divorce plot with the Ponds just felt like cheap drama and an excuse for lack of communication and development. I'll miss Rory, but Amy, for all that she was less annoying in this season, is another story.

If it helps, I planned to be femme!Jack Harkness for Halloween; if you're female-bodied, femme versions might work? (Sadly, my idea didn't pan out, but I had the costume put together and everything.)

(I can live with that. /o/)

[liveoddly]

I think they were a good idea, but they've been taken so much too far and have so little continuity (first they're quantum-locked so they look like statues, then the Statue of freaking Liberty is an Angel?!) that I don't even know what they are any more. And I liked Oswin, but a lot of what Moffat's said behind the scenes about Companions means my hopes are really not high. I miss Amy only because she brought Rory along. She was just... she really had nothing to her.

Femme versions might be the way to go, yeah. (I'm female-bodied, but currently flat-chested enough, and broad-shouldered enough, that I can pass for a feminine man if I try... but female versions might be easier) It's a shame you didn't manage femme!Harkness. Everything is better with Harkness. :p (Also, a. did you get his coat? and b. WHERE?)
