gacked from [personal profile] p0lyleritae :

Six ships you're into right now.
01. Lily/Snape (Harry Potter)
02. Maka/Soul (Soul Eater)
03. Snape/Hermione (Harry Potter)
04. Chuck/Sarah (I know, it surprised me too.)
05. Ellie/Captain Awesome (Chuck)
06. Kahlan/Richard (Legend of the Seeker)

Three ships you liked, but don't anymore.
07. Bill/Sookie
08. Casey/Sarah (Chuck)
09. Stein/Medusa (Soul Eater)

Three ships you never liked.
10. Harry/Ginny (Harry Potter)
11. Soul Eater/Blair (Soul Eater
12. Obediah/Tony (Iron Man)

Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship.

13. Black Star/Tsubaki
14. Chuck/Serena

Why do you dislike #11 so much? → Blair/Soul Eater
Blair is Ms Fanservice, which doesn't endear her to me and frankly, after Soul's cracks about Maka's cleavage I would had for him to get with a chest girl.

Who is someone you know that ships #14? → Chuck/Serena
Bueller? Bueller?

What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? → Snape/Hermione.
Something where they grow closer together via intellectual stimulation and then end up in bed.

Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? → Lily/Snape
Well, just finding out that it's (unreciprocated) canon sent me over the moon. But I would have to say when Snape is trying to apologize for calling Lily 'mudblood' and she just won't hear it.

How long have you been following couple #6? → Richard/Kahlan
I knew I was getting OTP about them in the fifth episode, with that line about what Richard thinks when he looks at her, and that whole scene were she flips out when Richard is going to tie that kid's hands and he has this look on his face while she's freaking out.

What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? → Casey/Sarah
I started to like Chuck, Sarah and Casey stopped giving each other 'I don't trust you' eyefucks, and Casey got a freaking brilliant love interest.

You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12 → Harry/Ginny or Tony/Obediah.

Even though there is a scene in Iron Man that was permanently ruined for me because of the people I watched it with flipped out of there OH MY GOD SUBTEXT LOLL!!!1111!111!!!1 SQUEE I'm going to go with Harry/Ginny.... no, wait, I don't actually care that much about Harry.

Obediah/Tony.

Which ship do you prefer, #2 or #4? → Maka/Soul or Chuck/Sarah.
MAKA/SOUL THIS IS NOT EVEN A QUESTION.

What interests you about #14? → Chuck/Serena.
I like the weird sibling affection love/hate with a dash of sexual tension thing they have going. And the fact that Serena's mother is one of the only woman that Chuck a.) respects b.) doesn't want in her pants. Honestly, even more attractive than Chuck/Serena is Lily being maternal towards Chuck.

Why did you stop liking #7? → Bill/Sookie

Bill turned into a dick, Sookie lost the sweetness that made her so attractive in the first couple of books, and I stopped caring.

Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? → Medusa/Stein
Nope! I found better things to ship.

What’s a song that reminds you of #5? → Ellie/Captain Awesome

I can't think of one.

If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
Maka and Soul and Hermione and Snape all go out to dinner at some very comfortable, cafe book shop. I honestly think they would have a chance at getting along. Well, Hermione and Maka would no question, and Soul and Snape might.

Have #2 kissed yet? →  Maka/Soul
It's nigh impossible to be, but no.

Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? → Chuck/Sarah
Not yet, but they have series couple written all over them.

What would make you start shipping #13? → Black Star/Tsubaki

More 'I'm the sky and you're the stars' conversations.

If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? → Maka/Soul or Richard/Kahlan
Maka/Soul, without question. Honestly, Soul Eater is just better all around, and I think that would make the pairing that much more satisfying, even though both of these pairings are SO slated to be canon.

You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? → Harry/Ginny
Nothing. They never get together, Ginny gets over her crush but is still shy, Harry finds someone a bit more honestly spunky to marry.

Which of these ships do you love the most?
Maka/Soul

If you like Snape/Hermione growing closer through intellectual means... Might I recommend... Ordinary People (http://www.obscurusbooks.org/html/Hayseed/OrdinaryPeople/index.html) -- "How do you go about life when you're one of the ordinary looking people? A SS/HG romance that strives for realism." I can't remember if there is graphic smut or not but there is definitely smut.

I also recommend the story Getting the Hang of Thursdays by the same author of you haven't read it -- it's a classic in SSHG fandom. Based on a glitch in time where they keep living the same day over and over and Hermione dies every day and only SSHG recognize that the day is repeating.

Oh, man. I don't know why I didn't rec this in the first place since it's definitely a "get to know each other and then holy shit we're undeniably attracted" fic. Very very slow build up to the relationship and the pairing isn't strictly SSHG at first... Denial (http://thepetulantpoetess.com/viewstory.php?sid=6937).

Hey. :] I've read a some of the SSHG fics you recommended. I'll check out denial.

I'm not sure I like the 'out of classroom' setting in fanfictions as much as I like the in classroom. That's because I have a teacher fetish though. >_> (KAKASAKU).

Your icon makes me chuckle. :D
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 06:46 pm (UTC)
I like it all and I definitely have a bit of a teacher fetish myself (<3 Kakasaku!).

If you want an epically long (and I mean epically! Full of sex scene after sex scene for over 100 chapters XD) SSHG teacher/student relationship fic I would suggest For Someone Special (http://www.restrictedsection.org/story.php?story=1284). And there are plenty of other good ones out there. :D
Saturday, August 15th, 2009 07:47 am (UTC)
Oh, wow, that is epically long.

I may have to mentally gear myself up for tackling htat one.
Saturday, August 15th, 2009 07:53 am (UTC)
Haha, yes. It is quite an undertaking. Keep in mind it's not perfection considering it was written in 2004 (there are a couple canon things that are incorrect) and also... Probably more than half the fic is sex scene after delicious sex scene. XD

Oooh, nice.

And great icon.

*flails*

I was looking for getting the Hang of Thursdays! Thank you so much! And I am SO going to read Ordinary People. The bit where you find out why he has no idea what the dinner is on Thursday? Made me squee so hard on first reread.
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 06:55 pm (UTC)
Yay! I'm glad I could help.

I guess I have to reread it again because I don't remember that part. :p ::dives!::

Edit: So now I've reread it and first of all, squee to the dinner part! And also, the first time I read this there was an alternative "coffee" ending and I'm not sure you've seen it... Here (http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=9312&i=1) I can understand why the author would want to pick one and stick with it in the end but to be honest the ending she prefers terrifies the shit out of me on every level so I prefer my happy ending. Haha.

I heard about the original ending. My friend was annoyed that she read it first and ended up dramatized and I read it later and got the HEA. I'd love to read the original, sad ending... but the one at the link looks like the same one.
Monday, August 24th, 2009 10:47 pm (UTC)
No, the sad and scary ending is the true ending. Note the chapter titles on ashwinder and the last chapter is titled, Pete and Repeat go for Coffee... (http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=9312&i=1). That's the happy ending. The chapter before that is the ending that's on the other site. ::nodnod::
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 04:03 am (UTC)
Thank you. I've read it now and... it's SO not the true ending. I mean, I approve of people making HP darker in general, and having just Hermione die would have really worked, but EVERYONE DIES? VOLDEORT WINS? That just seems SO against everything HP is about that I can't quite buy it.
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 05:19 am (UTC)
Yeah... I think from a scientific standpoint it probably makes more sense buuuut... The real ending just scares me. They just... all turn into nothingness? I prefer the happy ending.
Friday, August 28th, 2009 04:55 am (UTC)
I'm a HEA sucker too. I could have handled Hermione dying, but all of them? Hell to the no.
