Do you want to know how many people know your favorite (or not favorite) doctor who character?

Send me an ask with a character name and a little blurb about who they are and I'll make a poll out of it. Any character from any corner of the doctor who universe is fair game

Note: different regenerations of the same time lord can be counted as separate characters, so someone submitting the eighth doctor does not mean you can't submit the twelfth

All polls will be up for a week and all submitted characters and results can be found here

(also if your character does not show up on the spreadsheet within like a week of submitting an ask, tumblr ate it and you're going to have to send a new one)

A little explanation of each of the options because I sometimes change the wording (or just if you wanted clarification)

Option 1: Yes, you know the character, you have seen/heard/read enough of their stories to get an idea of who they are

Option 2: You know of the character, you may not have seen/heard/read their stories, but you've heard enough people talk about them to generally get what their deal is

Option 3: You have watched/heard/read the story that they are in, but don't actually remember them

Option 4: You've heard their name, but don't really know all that much about them past that

Option 5: You have no idea who this person is
