G is answered over here!

A - Your current OTP

Amy/Rory, with a side of Amy/Eleven/Rory OT3 delightfulness. I … have not been so fannish about a m/f ship before! James/Lily a little back in my HP days but not to the same degree. It’s quite nice, although I’m sad that it’s not really a coincedence that this is my first major het OTP and first major ship with a decent chance of ending well. (previous main fannish ships being Remus/Sirius, Jack/Ianto and Gwen/Morgana. yeahhhh. :/)

So that sucks because I want more positive female homosocial relationships and canonically queer relationships that don’t end in tragedy in my genre TV, but then there are the Ponds! Who are charmingly not at all a typical m/f marriage and therefore make me squee a lot over their preciousness. Normally I at least somewhat side-eye the canon love interests for my favourite female characters, but then Rory happened and was THE BEST on account of being a dork and super cute and also recognising the fact that Amy is made of amazing and, yes. I love the Ponds because of how they bring out the best in each other - Rory steadies Amy; Amy gives Rory a sense of adventure and a life beyond Leadworth. They complement each other in all kinds of ways and are wonderful and will walk off into the sunset together and be happy forever. <3

Also they have really, really cute faces.

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

Doctor Who fans are frequently both the best and the worst of all possible fandoms. I like to focus on the good and ignore the rest where I can (I hate all the companion bashing and ship wars and other ridiculous so muuuuch, omg). I love how it’s a fandom where squee and ridiculousness go hand in hand with really high level literary analysis and intense theorising - it provides more or less everything I could want in a fandom. There are a lot of very talented people here and it’s awesome.

I wish there were more Ponds fanworks, though! I absolutely understand why Eleven/River grabs fans’ attention more in terms of writing fic etc, and I do like that ship very much. But it’s not one I go out of my way to hunt stuff down for the way I do for Amy/Rory and Amy/Eleven/Rory.

DEAR FANDOM, MAKE MORE STUFF FOR MY SHIP. I ALSO WANT A PONY. Kisses, me.
