My adventures with the doctor began June 4, 2013 when friends birthday came around, woth the money he got he got a hat that I later found out was a dalek hat. After explaining to the best of hus ability what the hat waz and outlining doctor who, I decided I was gunna jump in the fandom cuz the show actually interests me.
I went home, logged onto netflix, and searched “Doctor Who” and saw that there was DW and DW Classic. I set my summer goal, still in progress, to watch all of the 6 seasons of DW then the classic DW. This goal actually helped me get a girlfriend, her name is emma, because I knew she was into crazy fandoms so I asked if she wanted to do an all night DW Marathon and she said yes, we considered it a first date. My adventures with the doctor withh continue on a lifetime and Im glad my friend got the dalek hat the start it all.

Dalek hat *to* start it all

Delete this one please, I’m posting a new one with more detail and some things I forgot

My adventures with the doctor started not to long ago, June 4th really. It was the day of my friend Anthony’s birthday and he decided to buy a Dalek hat, now at first I thought that was a bit obsessive and dumb but I found slight interest in Doctor Who, and I was honestly surprised. After that he really never wore the hat to school again and I felt bad, so I apologized and decided I’d take a look into Doctor Who.
Prior to this I’d been introduced several times and considered watching it but never did. My friends I talk to through Skype are fans. I knew that the show revolved around a man and his TARDIS and a companion. I knew that he could regenerate, I knew there had been 11 doctors so far. But that was it, I didn’t know much more.
I don’t know why I pushed it off so long, maybe because I had no real incentive to watch thew show, or maybe I was just dumb haha. But I know I don’t regret watching the first episode where the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)first met Rose saving her from the manikins.
To me, being a Whovian makes me part of a diverse group of people who have one interest in common, Doctor Who, Classic or New, We all share an interest. I know as a fact there are people in the community around me who are also Whovians, I just don’t know them.
I’m glad I started watching Doctor Who, and I’m proud to call myself a Whovian, to my own surprise Doctor Who has even gotten me closer to the girl I hope to date, Emma. I knew she is into crazy fandoms of all kinds and I asked if she wanted to have a Doctor Who marathon with me when she gets back, and she said sure.
I feel like I made this a bit to long, but it did say Essay/Report/Diary/Story.

I started watching the Doctor in 1968 when I was 10 years old. I loved the way he made me laugh and cry. I watched until it ended but was beyond excited when I saw it on Netflix and began the adventure again with the Ninth Doctor. Before that the Fourth Doctor was always my hero. The last three regenerations have been so wonderful. I have my whole family hooked on the show. My grandson stated, “Why haven’t we always watched this?” Why, indeed. I feel the Doctor is a positive role model for children. Be tolerant, don’t be afraid to try new things, and always embrace the unexpected. Thank you Doctor for 50 years of joy.

My adventure with the doctor who did not start for a long time.
to tell the truth was in June last year when he began to be televised Culture here in Brazil (I’m Brazilian I mentioned?) at the time I did not get very well with almost anyone and was the most quiet of my room class.
as I live in a little town developed, no one here but me knew what doctor who.
And in February this year when I became one whovian contruí my first TARDIS a cardboard box that was in my house.
since then I can not go a day without talking about The Doctor and his adventures. and managed to find two more whovians in my city, we even created a group.
Doctor who Thanks for changing my life and conquer the world with his adventures cool

My Doctor Who story started when my Dad got me to watch the Tom Baker story “The Invasion of Time” over 10 years ago. I thought it was fantastic and as UK Gold was showing Tom Baker – Sylvester McCoy weekly I tuned in and watched almost every episode from the late 70’s and 80’s. (Too bad for some reason they were not allowed to show any of the Dalek stories)At the same time the dvd’s were coming out so we bought a dalek boxset in town that had “The Dalek Invasion of Earth” “Resurrection of the Daleks” & “Remembrance of the Daleks”. This was the start, as I kept an eye out for every new episode coming out on dvd, and caught up with the rest on Youtube. When the new series came out not that long after I had caught up most of the classic series, I couldn’t wait, and jumped onto it immediately and have watched vividly ever since. We are still collecting dvd’s and by the end of this year will have the entire collection. I have seen every single surviving episode (Bar the “Underwater Menace Part 2″) and heard all of the missing episodes on audio. I mainly grew up with Peter Davison, his are the ones I remember the most from UK Gold and he remains my favourite, with the Five Doctors being the story I have seen nearly a hundred times. Long live who!

heres my story is any use and u can use pix if u wish?

My adventure with the Doctor started kind of like what John Green said – slowly, then all at once. It was 2011 and I was hooked on DeviantArt, and my favourite artist there kept making these fanarts of a british show I had vaguely heard of (I’m brazilian, we’re not big on british tv); and then all I could see was the Doctor in every new art, from all these artists I admired. So I thought, “well, if all these people – who happen to have great taste – love this show so much, maaaaybe I should give it a shot”. Mind you, I wasn’t quite sold yet; much as I love sci-fi, I was pretty determined not to be swayed into this fandom so quickly. Needless to say, I was skeptical. So I invited my brother for a two-week marathon of this new weird show, during winter break. You know the rest: my plans of reading during break? Poof, gone. Big outing with friends? As if. Staying up from 8am to midnight watching Doctor Who(which at the time, according to my father, was “a noisy movie that never ends, and I want the TV to watch football”)? That about sums it up. Back to school and I was sleep deprived, late on school work, and zoning out constantly into the TARDIS in the middle of class. I’m still not sure if I ever came back to reality.

For me it all began with a t shirt. But not just any old t shirt. I didn’t know it at the time but it was the TARDIS. My friend was wearing a bright blue shirt with the words Police Public Call Box on it. And I remember thinking it was so unusual, so weird looking. I asked her what it stood for. She looked almost offended. (Now I get it!)
She rigidly informed me it was for the Doctor.
You can guessed what I asked. . . Doctor who?

After I watched the first episode in the 2005 series I was hooked. Who wouldn’t want to follow a man who can travel time and space, getting into all types of trouble? It got worst with his 10th regeneration. I’m afraid there’s no turning back now. Enjoying moment after moment, planet after planet, companion after companion, there came a point when I wondered. I mean really wondered. The Doctor is just that fantastic.
My favorite companion I’d say would have to be Rose. If possible I’d avert to Captain Jack Harkness, but that’s just being greedy.
My favorite episode? The Shakespearian Code. Gotta love that J.K.
My favorite quote? “The soufflé isn’t the soufflé. The soufflé is the recipe.” Says it all, doesn’t it?
My favorite Doctor? Every. Single. One.
Being a fan of this tv show has made me a believer. That not everything is impossible. That the world is so much bigger and smaller than I thought it was. That bow ties are cool.
And that, no matter how much we might run from it or hate that its true, all good things (even the Doctor) must come to an end
