I Really Need To Stop Getting Books I've Been Waiting MONTHS To Read

[redbrunja]

Because they epically fuck with my time management skills and sleep schedule.

And now, the results of the latest shipping meme!

Hellsing:

+ OTP - Integra/Alucard
+ Runner-up - Pip/Seras
+ Honorable mention(s) Integra/Seras (you know it would be hot. Finger-licking scene anyone?)
+ Crack pairing(s) n/a
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't - I have no love for Maxwell/Integra (in fact, I don't see it at all). But I run into a lot of people who love it.

Pirates Of The Caribbean

+ OTP Elizabeth/WIll
+ Runner-up Elizabeth/Norrington (the second and third movies did not happen with regards to his characterization.)
+ Honorable mention(s) n/a
+ Crack pairing(s) n/a
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Sparrow/Elizabeth (although it is cool that both of their last names are birds), Jack/Will, Jack/Will/James.
Firefly:

+ OTP Inara/Mal
+ Runner-up Kaylee/Simon
+ Honorable mention(s) Wash/Zoe
+ Crack pairing(s) n/a
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Mal/River, Kaylee/Mal.

Bleach:

+ OTP Quincy/Orihime (although I have since stopped loving them)
+ Runner-up Rukia/Ichigo
+ Honorable mention(s) Rukia/Renji
+ Crack pairing(s) Karin/Chad, Orihime/guy with the teardrops
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't n/a


The Sarah Dessen Universe:


+ OTP Annabel/Owen. What was fantastic about Owen was that he, more than almost any other male character in Dessen's books, had his own life and issues and problems. They felt like a real couple to me.
+ Runner-up Macy/Wes
+ Honorable mention(s) Colie/Norman
+ Crack pairing(s) I want to see Jason fall in love. So very much.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Remy/Dexter. I WANTED to like 'This Lullaby' and especially Remy, because she WASN'T the good girl character that Dessen typically writes, but I just... did not like Dexter. Normally Dessen writes boys you could fall in love with, but Dexter was just kind of lame and gross. And while none of Dessen's typical boys would have worked for Remy, I still didn't quite buy Dexter working for Remy anyway.
 

Alias
+ OTP Sydney/Vaughn
+ Runner-up Jack/Irina
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s) Jack/Nadia
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Sydney/Marshall

Chuck:
+ OTP Chuck/Sarah, Ilsa/Casey
+ Runner-up The Awesomes.
+ Honorable mention(s) Ellie/Casey.
+ Crack pairing(s) see above.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't n/a. I'm not really a big fan of Morgan/Anna. Or anything with Lester.

Questionable Content:

+ OTP It used to be Martin/Faye.
+ Runner-up Faye/Angus
+ Honorable mention(s) n/a
+ Crack pairing(s) Hannalee/Marigold.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't I live in fear that the author is going to get Sven and Faye back together.
Black Lagoon
+ OTP Revy/Rock!
+ Runner-up Dutch/Balalaika
+ Honorable mention(s) Revy/Chang
+ Crack pairing(s) I think Dutch/Balalaika qualifies.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't n/a

Bacanno!
+ OTP Claire/Chane
+ Runner-up Nice/Jacuzzi
+ Honorable mention(s) Miria/Isaac
+ Crack pairing(s) Rachel/Nicholas
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't n/a
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan.

+ OTP SHINAGAWA ♥ ADACHI!
+ Runner-up Makoto/Chiba
+ Honorable mention(s) n/a
+ Crack pairing(s) n/a
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't I am not in the fandom... at all, so I really don't know the answer to this.
Tortall
+ OTP Alanna/George. The classic.
+ Runner-up Daine/Numair. AKA where every single Kakashi/Sakura trope I love was first inscribed on my psyche.
+ Honorable mention(s) n/a
+ Crack pairing(s) Wyldon/Kel. I mainly like this as a platonic relationship, but I would be very, very curious to see what someone came up with to make it romantic.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Aly/Nawat always left me very cold. (HE EATS BUGS. HOW IS THAT SEXY?)
Princess Tutu:

+ OTP ♥FAKIR/AHIRU♥
+ Runner-up Fakir/Mytho. (Because Fakir was such an epic abusive boyfriend.)
+ Honorable mention(s) Rue/Ahiru. Because two ladies dancing together is always hot.
+ Crack pairing(s) n/a
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't I imagine some people ship Fakir/Rue... which could be awesome, but I imagine that any time they did anything, it would be basically an orgy with them and the people they'd rather have.
True Blood:

+ OTP I don't like anyone enough on this show to be OTP about them.
+ Runner-up Tara/Sam. I want these crazy kids to get their shit together and be happy!
+ Honorable mention(s) n/a
+ Crack pairing(s) I'd like to see Lafayette fall in love. It would be epic.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Sookie/Eric.
Buffy:


+ OTP Spike/Buffy
+ Runner-up Wesley/Faith
+ Honorable mention(s) Willow/Oz.
+ Crack pairing(s) Spike/Dawn
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Ummmm. I'm blanking on ships I didn't like for this fandom, besides the default 'slash: do not want'
Burn Notice:


+ OTP Michael/Fiona
+ Runner-up Michael/Lucy
+ Honorable mention(s) THERE AREN'T ENOUGH GIRLS ON THIS SHOW! Although Carla/Fiona or Fiona/Ziva (from NCIS) would be epically hot.
+ Crack pairing(s) Sam/Madeline. (Michael's head would EXPLODE)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't
Leverage:

+ OTP Parker/Hardison
+ Runner-up Sophie/Nate
+ Honorable mention(s) Elliot/Ms Mussad Bad Ass
+ Crack pairing(s) Elliot/his hair. ONLY I HATE HIS HAIR.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Elliot/Hardison. Also, I hate when people turn what looks like Parker/Hardison into stealth Elliot/Parker/Hardison.
Harry Potter:


+ OTP Ron/Hermione, Hermione/Draco, Hermione/Snape, Ginny/Draco, Lupin/Tonks (pre-book 6).
+ Runner-up see above.
+ Honorable mention(s) Luna/Neville. (He would think he was blessed by the gods to get a hot, blonde girlfriend.)
+ Crack pairing(s) see 80% of my OTPs
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't Remus/Sirius, Sirius/Snape.

Fiona/Ziva. There needs to be fic. I command it into existence! /waits

Let me know how this works out for you.

And LOL about his hair! I don't like guys with long hair. It's what keeps me from shipping him in general.


Same. There ARE exceptions, but Eliot is NOT one of them.

An insane amount of people apparently also ship Marigold/Hanalore. So much so that JJ wrote a comic showing how the two were not getting together. It was lulzy and kind of sad.

You know, I liked the comic itself but HATE when authors feel the need to stomp on a ship like that. It's one thing not to write it - that's totally your perogetive, but don't try to spoil your fans fun.
