Please feel free to use this Discussion post as a site of tribute/mourning/farewell/discussion/celebration/linking of individual posts of same for Lis Sladen, perhaps best known as:

Everyone and their dog has been doing the Five Things About a Character response posts. It might be interesting/provoke good conversations/make a good resource for fanwork producers or people looking for a new era to enjoy if we shared them in a convenient central location, and give us a chance to read the thoughts of a wider circle than just our besties. If you've done them already, please feel free to cut and paste your answers. If you've written some, you could always collect a full set. If you've not written any, this is your opportunity!

The meme is essentially:

"Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them. Any and all characters welcome. (Even ones I haven't written but might know about...)"

I see no reason why this must just be for characters you have written/intend to write. If you have any meta to give, writer or no, or want to talk about Five Things You Keep In Mind When Drawing, that's cool too.

Obviously this will work a bit differently, with threads/headers for every Doctor, every Master, and a general Other Characters header, because why not. Feel free to make other headers for characters NOT already included, but please don't just post anywhere for characters we already have, that's super messy and annoying.

Discussion and cross-commenting on each others' responses is totally encouraged! Not that I think it's terribly likely, as you're a good crowd, but wanky arguing is totally discouraged. Cross the line, get bah-leeted--y'all know what's appropriate and what isn't.

**EDIT** IT IS STILL COMPLETELY KOSHER TO REQUEST CHARACTERS OF PEOPLE PARTICIPATING! Just leave a comment on their own meme on their lj (which is really no business of ours, but, whatevs), or here, on a response they've posted!
