21. Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you dislike or even loathe.)
Ah, I stopped here because I was trying to think of characters I didn't like in my fandoms, although if I disliked them enough to think of them, I'm not sure I wanted to say nice things about them when I generally just don't talk about them and leave the people who like them in peace.
But if I like a fandom, then I will usually come to be okay with the characters I don't like - they'll grow on me on rewatches, they'll be interesting when I come to write them, and I'll feel bad if I'm mean about them, and get defensive if other people are. The ones I really resent are usually because other fans have gone on about them in objectionable ways, dialling up my annoyance, which doesn't make me feel like being nice about them for this meme.
22. Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend
Most fictional characters wouldn't make for good friends. Even if they're fine in themselves, they get into danger and excitement all the time! It'd never work out. If I must, though, Bill Potts seems like a lovely potential friend, if she'd be willing - post-TARDIS and puddle travels, of course.
23. Your rarest fandoms.
LOL. *waves hand vaguely at whole journal and AO3 account* Where would we start?
24. A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
I mostly just rest fandoms rather than abandon them, if they're something I'm really into. Other things are barely around long enough to be a fandom, so can that count as abandoning them?
25. Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
Do you want my Reasons Why Silver/Sapphire/Steel Is Totally Canon Already (in whatever sense "elements" can be said to have or be ships, which maybe they can't, but clearly they are anyway) again?
Though, really, I don't think I'd die defending any personal fictional theories. That does seem like a particularly stupid way to die.
