Ship Meme

[mllelaurel]

Found on doyle_sb4's journal.

Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply to you with the relationships (canon or not) from it I 'ship. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something.

I tend to be a huge multishipper, so if you want to specify an era/season/character, that'd be great.

This will probably be one of the more predictable inquiries, but where do you lean (or have you leaned) in PoT fandom?

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Wow, this sure takes me a ways back. PoT, for me, was really about 'whatever's well-written', rather than any pairing at all. I did have a fondness for Ohtori, Shishido and Hiyoshi, in any combination, as well as Mizuki and Yuuta, for the fucked up manipulation masking genuine affection.

Doc Who? (It's either that or Yami, if I want to have a clue what you're on about. XD)

DW

Nice, narrow category. *cough*

In the new series, I'm all about Nine/Jack/Rose, in all permutations. Ten, on the other hand, I ship with just about everyone but Rose. Ten/Sarah, in particular, is lovely. I also have a real soft spot for Jake/Mickey.

As for the classic series, lemme think... (This is somewhat limited by what I've seen.) Doctor/Romana is lovely (any Doctor; any Romana). Four/Sarah. Romana II/Leela. Hell, any Romana femslash; don't ask me why, it just works in my head. Five/Turlough. Seven/Ace is my so very platonic OTP. From the spin-offs, I also get Six/Evelyn (finally, Six gets a worthy companion!), and Eight/Fitz (hurray for as-canon-as-it-gets-pre-new-series slash!)

Does 'anything written by particular writers' count as a ship?

You know, I don't think I've ever shipped so much het in any series before. Nice!

YnM

My tastes for Yami no Matsuei pairings, on the other hand, are much more narrow. Tsuzuki/Hisoka is my OTP, though I'll happily read good Watari/Tatsumi as well.

[amet.livejournal.com]

Wow. I pretty much agree with you on everything but the ones in the last paragraph I don't know. XD Scary.

... and I was pretty hard core with the OTPs in Yami too. Which er... was not so much with the good, at the time. ^~

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Proof that we both have good taste. *g*

Dude, Yami fandom was scary. But I still stand by my OTPness.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Oh, and forgot to ask: you mentioned you didn't know some of the DW characters. Which ones?

[amet.livejournal.com]

Exactly. *nodsnods*

...that it was. XD;; And yeah, pretty much. That's why we moved PM instead of chunking it in the end.

Turlough, because I've not gotten to Five's run yet (though we downloaded some, it's getting Sephy to watch them with me that's tricky). Evelyn, for the same reason, and Fitz because I tend to steer clear of the Eight-centric books (when I read the books at all), because it's mostly conjecture and really freaking complicated.

The rest I've got, and now that you mention it Romana/Leela would be hot (though I think it would be funnier with Romana I... more opportunities for squabbling).

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

I tend to pick and choose with the books, having gotten recommendations on what's good and what's godawful. As far as Eight's concerned, canon's what I say it is. Things are just easier that way.

Now that you mention it...yes, the squabling would be wonderful!
