tardis_stowaway: TARDIS under a starry sky and dark tree (bad wolf)
I have a Doctor Who thought question for you! Over in Sherlock fandom I've read a number of excellent fics fusing the world of Sherlock with the His Dark Materials book trilogy, giving all the characters daemons*. I started wondering how such a fusion would work in the Doctor Who universe. Specifically, would Time Lord daemons be like human daemons? Please note that this is purely a speculative exercise; I have no plans for writing DW/HDM crossover fic (though I'd happily read any that's already out there...)[Poll #1752951]Feel free to use the comments to speculate further on this topic and/or suggest daemons for Doctor Who or Torchwood characters.

*A very quick primer for those who haven't read Phillip Pullman's excellent His Dark Materials Trilogy:  in this alternate universe fantasy, each person has a daemon, which is essentially an external manifestation of his/her soul.  Daemons take the shapes of animals.  During childhood they may shapeshift freely, then at adolescence they settle on a form that remains for the rest of the person's life.  Daemons have real physical form and may touch their own humans, inanimate objects, or other daemons, but touching another person's daemon is a deep cross-cultural taboo.

Greetings, wise f-list!  I saw a description of Eleven's hair color in an otherwise wonderful fanfic that confused me, since it was vastly different from what his hair looks like to me.  However, it occurs to me that I'm not sure I've looked at Eleven on anything other than my laptop screen, so maybe my colors are off.  However, everything else (like photos of people I know) seems to be colored correctly.  I mentioned it to the author, and she stands by her description.  It's entirely possible that I am crazy!  I look to you to resolve the confusion.[Poll #1585424]
I've deliberately chosen an Eleven-free icon so any coloring effects by the icon makers will not affect your voting.  Feel free to discuss or elaborate in the comments!

Jack Harkness speaks with an American accent, but sometimes he uses British vocabulary (e.g. "lift" instead of "elevator"). It's a little jumbled, as one might expect from someone who has spent many years in Cardiff but learned 21st-century English with an American accent (I refuse to believe that he grew up speaking this language on the 51st-century Boeshane peninsula). I have decided to seek opinions from my wise f-list about a matter of how Jack would phrase a certain request.[Poll #1517136][Poll #1517136]
