ravenI've been meaning to make this post for a while because, really, one of life's great pleasures is a new fandom. And one shared with other people - in this case a quarter of the British population - is the best type of all.
Anyway, firstly a GIP, for which we must all blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eternalwings. I was talking about scarves for some reason, and if you would like to know (and I don't see why you would) I own eight scarves. I think this is because my mother once realised I liked them and decided to give them to me at every possible opportunity; not that I mind, because I now have loads. There is my favourite, the red and black that you have all seen, a black and white that is similar, a black and brown that is similar again, a plain red fleece one, a plain cream one, a pink and black that matches the gloves Hannah gave me, another ancient (well, fifteen years old) cream one, and a cashmere one I stole off my mother. Anyway, Sam happened to mention the red-and-black looks like something the Doctor would wear, and one Google-image-search later, she was proved distressingly right.
So I now have an icon of of the Fourth Doctor and his scarf (yay) to use when I, too, am feeling particularly gormless. I blame Sam.
Talking of the Doctor and Google search (I was, a minute ago!), the Mirror today decided to evaluate the various search engines in its online section. They chose to search for Doctor Who as a test - unsurprisingly, Google was the best, but on the whimsical side; it brought up something about how to knit scarves. I was amused.
Anyway! Also on the fandom side, the preparations for Collectormania 7 have begun. Some of the guests I wanted to see have dropped out, but actually, I don't care; I go to cons for the people more than anything. We're planning a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
new_who meet-up at some point, because several members and all the three mods, hathy_col, amchau and me, are going. We should also meet mettanna, whom I haven't seen in ages, and from this end it's going to be the usual double date situation - Clare&Colleen, Hannah and me - plus Enid, hopefully, and Am-Chau should be meeting us there. It will be, in the words of no-one in particular, fantastic.
So fandom life is all yay, and it's only in real life that people are throwing chairs at me. I'm writing fic at the moment, and need a quick canon question answered - simply, was the First Doctor ever a child? I mean, did he have a Time Lord mum and dad and play hide-and-seek and have an idyllic childhood, or is it, as it so often is, much more complicated?
That is me done. GIP.

I don't consider the books to be canon tho, so it doesn't necessarily answer much.
