In which I ask a million questions

Feb 24, 2013 20:15

Ok, people. Talk to me. I want to hear why the OTP thing matters. I know that there are tons of people who won't read a fic if it's not with their OTP. Why is that important? Do all other pairings seem OOC? I'm really curious about this. I like all different kinds of stories, although there are some stories I don't read because of characters, ( Read more... )

I definitely HAVE an OTP, that's no secret. However, I can (and do) read other pairings. I write them too. However, at the end of the day, probably 85% of my reading is about my favourites.

I support anyone's want/need/RIGHT to ship and write about whoever the hell they want. 100% with teeth. Buuuut...that doesn't necessarily mean I am going to read what they write...if that makes sense.

Art? I can love any pairings or scenarios if it's done well :D

My OTP thing is not very solid, as you know. Now that Mordred is in the picture, they are pretty intertwined for me, but I do like some variety. I also tend to follow authors more than tropes.

LOL. Totally! Yeah, I'm the same way. I can't read Percival fic. Just. No.

God, yes. Fanart always blows me away.

I have this thing that, unless I know & like the author OR the summary is really intriguing, I want MERLIN in every Merlin fanfic. I have little interest in stories he isn't a major part of. I can take him paired with almost anyone or gen fic but, I dunno, I always want MERLIN!

Thas like I want the Doctor in every DW fanfic. I can read any era, with any companion but the Doctor's gotta be there or, forget it.

Merlin's my main man too, although I've been known to write femmeslash, but yeah, I completely get that 100%:D

Were you the one that likes really skinny guys? That would certainly rule Percival out!

jelazakazone February 27 2013, 17:48:41 UTC

The one? As though there is only person who likes skinny guys? Yeah, I do. I like slightly beefy guys too, but really big guys? No. I'm barely 5' 1".

It's an excellent point about Percival though! He's huge!
