I'm shockingly late answering, but here goes.
I think questions 1 and 3-5 can stand unchanged from my answers in 2011.
  1. Sadly, I fear since 2011 RTD has sent my Vicki/Luke ship to Davy Jones. On the other hand, I've got a nasty feeling about what might have happened if it had been the Tenth Doctor rather the First who found her on Dido. Actually, I sort of want to write that now. Or put them in a Mills and Boon summary.
    Her one bright memory in a lifetime of shadows… [The Tenth Doctor] might be her [guardian]’s most hated business rival, but he’s the only man who has ever made [Vicki Pallister] feel beautiful. So, needing to make a new life for herself, [Vicki] apprehensively turns to [Ten] for help. Except the dark-hearted tycoon is nothing like the white knight she remembers! Seduced, bedded and betrayed in a matter of days, [Vicki] realises it’s not always better the devil you know… She’s sold her soul – and her heart – to the enemy!
  1. It says something about fandom and the places it can take an idea, that I find myself needing to come up with the fanon that Bennett didn't behave in an overtly abusive manner to Vicki when they were alone together on Dido. He needed her to confirm his version of events when they were rescued; that meant keeping her alive and convincing her he was a good guy.
  2. I'm not sure the three options (love / hate / no strong feelings) adequately cover the gamut of human emotion. I'm fond of Vicki and I certainly wouldn't have wanted to see her, for example, go out of the airlock in Katarina's place.
  3. She travels with the Doctor and doesn't end up broken. It's a distressingly rare trait among companions, particularly when you take spinoffs into account.
  4. Taking the question, I think, a little more literally than was intended: my favourite event in which Vicki was involved has to be the reveal of the Monk's TARDIS in The Time Meddler.
  5. Vicki has powers? I suppose I could do with her ability to befriend people.
  6. No!
  7. Such feelings as I have about Vicki developed when I wrote fic with her; that seems to be how it works, for me.
  8. That's an interesting question. I haven't experienced The Myth Makers in any form, so while I would certainly treat Vicki/Troilus as canon, I haven't got any strong feelings about it. But really, she seems on the young side for a pairing that's One and True.
