Meme: Shippy meme
Stolen fromblack_sluggard.
A - Your current OTP
Well... a week ago, I would have said Ryan/Esposito from Castle. And I still ship wholeheartedly.
But [spoiler], you know, Destiel... [end spoiler]
I guess I miss Stefan/Klaus a little bit. :P
B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
Ziva/McGee from NCIS. I read a couple of fics and, considering the canon elements they latched on, it made sense. Still, I don't think i'll write it just yet.
C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
Kate/Josh from Castle. It's not even that I'm a caskett shipper (which I am, so, so much), but... guy's a douche. I reacted live, just as he met the team and called them 'boys'. I was like 'Boys?!" at the exact same time Esposito did.
I understand that some people look down on cops and think they're dumb as a rock. And some of them truely are, but... I don't get why Kate would get along and date a guy like that.
John/Dean from Supernatural. Because, just... no. I'll do sibling incest in their case, but father/son? Yeesh.
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
Anything with Bonnie on TVD. I don't have anything against the girl, she just needs to be off screen. She bores me.
E - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?
Um... I don't think so.
F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom
Wow. I guess that'd be Buffy, so... since 1996. Damn.
G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it
Alright, if we're talking timeline, then it'll be Logan/Veronica from Veronica Mars. Because that's around the time I found out what fandom and fanfic were.
If not, then I shipped Spuffy and Andrew/Dawn from BtVS for way longer, but on my own.
H - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series
I've only recently gotten into anime. I'm a really picky bitch about the drawing style. So far, real actors still win out.
I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why
It's made me realize how teenage the TVD fandom is (why is it a shock, again?), but it didn't make me dislike it.
J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr
I blame black_sluggard for Ianpala (it was made for me. :D). I have found a deep love for Fangbook.

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom
There just aren't enough people writing Ryan/Esposito.
L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for
Transport Sam W, Dean W, Castiel ?, Neal C, Peter B, and the presinct crew of Castle into the Fringe universe. And the blow my mind. With possible Firefly/Castle OMG AU!!
M - Your favorite fanart or fanartist
daggomus_prime is artistic glory. She masters the power of Photoshop and non digital drawing. I die.
O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of
Shuffle decided on Gravity by John Mayer
The first verse reminds me of Damon, so Delena. The whole could be attributed to Peter/Olivia from Fringe.
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)
[spoilers for SPN]
Instead of finding himself a wife, Blank!Castiel ends up in the hands of the Castle crew. Somehow one of them gives him shelter and that's how the crew learns of the supernatural world (though Beckett knew, because she knows) and eventually meet the Winchesters.
Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why
Buffy/Angel. They've evolved passed it.
Elena/Stefan. Same. Though I was never a shipper, but I could acknoledge they were good for each other.
R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
Andrew/Dawn. It makes so much sense I don't get how people always say they never thought of it.
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon
I guess that's supposed to be the pairing I just spoke of?
They're nerds. [spoiler for BtvsS8 + Angel S5] They geek out over giant!Dawn fighting mecha Dawn. He's grown and gained some experience. He has responsibilites. [end spoiler] They're about the same age. She's a peach!
I refer you to my fic, Big Damn Changes.
T - If you mostly have slash ships, do you have any het ships?
Spuffy, Delena, Caskett, Peter/Olivia. I guess I still ship LoVe. Dawn/Andrew, again. Tony/Ziva.
Yes, I'm a big slasher, but I do have het ships.
U - If you mostly have het ships, do you have any slash ships?
Not applicable.
V - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping
Not anything. I have a whole bunch of shows in which I don't ship anyone. However, I'm usually the first one of my entourage to catch a ship that writers are slowly hinting and building. Though, I think it's mostly because my friends are very dense to that. Or maybe because I am a storyteller myself?
W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms
Supernatural - *tosses a coin between Lucy, Crowley and Gabe*
TVD - Damon. (Though, points for Alaric and his Dr Jones look. :P)
Fringe - Peter. Alt!Astrid. All the agent Lee. Duolivias. Walter. EVERYBODY.
Castle - Castle!
The Finder - Walter Sherman (because the show makes me so very happy)
X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms
Castle - Ryan/Espo
Fringe - Altivia/Lee
Sherlock - Sherlock/Watson
Y - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from
Criminal Minds, Game of Thrones, Unforgettable, The Walking Dead (so far. I've only seen a few).
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go
Something I just hate is the supporting character that's suddenly falling for one of the main guys/girls, and the romance is played up only in order to the main person to realize they still have feelings for someone else.
Maybe because I've always been said supporting person, or because I sympathize so much with them. But I've always hated that. (Chloe on Smallvillle! I've only stuck with the show after that for her and her only. And the few times Lois kicked major ass.)
I really really hope that they're not trying to do that with TVD. I don't care whether Elena ends up with one or the other or none (okay, yeah, I do care. She so belongs with Damon.), but if she goes back to Stefan, they have to be very careful NOT to do it that way. It can be done well. Heck, even Twilight pulled it off, so... there's hope yet.
