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.

Syd & Marshall? O_o I mean, they're super cute as friends, but anything more...I don't see it...

Also, nobody seems to respect Marshall, which, besides pissing me off (even if I do sometimes find him annoying), makes me not ship him with ...anyone, really.

Really, you don't like Morgan/Anna?

*shakes head* No, I don't. I hate how he only seems to want to be dating her when it's convenient.

Alanna/George is my OTP too :) I love Daine/Numair too, though. So much. I love the relationship between Wyldon & Kel.

Word.

No Willow/Tara or Buffy/Angel or Xander? :(


Nope. While I have nothing against Willow being a lesbian, I found her and Oz's relationship to be much more interesting, I saw bits of season six before watching season 1, so Angel never seemed to challenge Buffy the way Spike did, and I don't like Xander enough to really ship them so much.

And I sometimes ship Sam/Madeline a bit. They have really good scenes together.

They do! And Mike's head would explode.

No Remus/Sirius?

Have I mentioned how not a slasher I am?

[g0shawk.livejournal.com]

Marshall: Ah, that's true about the respect thing.

Morgan/Anna: Oh, that's right! I guess I just found it funny when Morgan "broke up" with Anna temporarily when Chuck broke up with Lou, but putting aside the humor, that is pretty bad. I don't love them or anything, but I think they're kinda cute.

I hate choosing between Oz & Tara. I love them both too much. And I love both of them with Willow. :)
That makes sense about Angel. I mean, I totally think they're soulmates, but I find Spike/Buffy way more interesting (& hot). I like how it worked out with Angel leaving.
Aw, poor Xander. I loved him & Cordy. I'm meh about Xander/Anya. I liked them better the 2nd time around, though. I'm still really surprised Willow & Xander didn't end up together. They really set that up in the beginning.

Haha yes. :P

Not sure if I knew that. Hope you don't mind my slashiness. I tend to ship anyone I think has the slightest bit of chemistry, m/f, m/m, or f/f. :)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I liked Xander and Cordy too, but I thought she was much more interesting with Doyle.

Oh, no, I don't mind slashers! Seriously, 3/4 of my flist are slashers to some degree or other, and my BFF IRL is a TOTAL slasher. She, in fact, loves Remus/Sirius tremendously.

Honestly, I just don't find the idea of two guys going at it sexy, so there isn't an appeal in slash for me.

But often times when people will talk about slash with my I feel a bit like Willow.

Xander: What are you doing for Christmas, Will?

Willow: Being jewish.

[g0shawk.livejournal.com]

*squee* I love Cordy/Doyle! They would've been my Angel OTP, but then of course Joss had to ruin it. And then he gave us Cordy/Angel and I got all excited again and...nope. It's gonna be hard to watch season 5. :/

Oh okay. Good to know :)

I'm a total romantic, so sexiness usually isn't the main reasoning behind my liking slash. In fact, I didn't find femmeslash sexy at all until I got into the relationship aspect. Took me a while, but I love having more shipping options now. :)

Awww. That's a great example. Sorry you feel that way, though.

I loved Cordy having the visions but her and Doyle... they were just kinda perfect.
