On the use of OTP...

[butterfly]

So, I actually have different kinds of OTPness.

1. Ultimate and complete One True Pairing, cannot picture either one of the characters with anyone else as long as the option to be with their OTP exists. Doctor/Rose falls into this category, as well as Zoe/Wash (from Firefly) and Fraser/Kowalski (due South). With the Doctor and Rose, their OTP nature

I love Jack because he makes it so easy to 'ship him with pretty much anyone, but - to be honest - that's how I see pretty much all characters. For example, using some of the pairings you listed in your post:

Most of the time, I like Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose. That doesn't stop me from 'shipping Two/Jamie, Three/Jo, Four/Sarah Jane, any combination(s) of Five/Nyssa/Tegan/Turlough, Six/Evelyn, Seven/Ace, Eight/Fitz, Eight/Charley, Eight/Leela/Romana II, Nine/Rose/Jack, Ten/Martha, Ten/Donna, or any versions of Doctor/Romana.

I 'ship Fraser/RayV and Fraser/RayK pretty much equally (with RayK/RayV and Fraser/RayK/RayV thrown in for good measure). While I adore Logan/Max, I have no problems seeing Alec/Max or Alec/Logan (though, admittedly, in that case it's more of a OT3). With both Stargate series, I'll 'ship anyone. And I mean anyone.

. . . so, in other words, I pretty much see everyone (in all fandoms) as Jack Harkness.

The more rare a ship I like is, the lower my standards get.

I'll admit, Doyle/Cordelia is the only 'ship that I've found yet where I've been willing to lower my standards just to find fic featuring them. Fanfiction featuring Doyle is rare period, so that's the issue. I've literally read everything that's available, so when I stumble across something new - no matter how badly written it is - I'm going to read it. Even if reading it means that I'm going to have to go bleach my brain afterward. ;-)
