Frankenstein Meme, Day 16
Do you remember your first OTP? Who was in it?
Oh, my. That would be the Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Capt. Jack Harkness. Yes, my first OTP was an OT3.
Another early OTP was probably Laura Roslin and Bill Adama, because they are both awesome, ruthless, brave, brilliant, and unexpectedly gentle and vulnerable. Karl “Helo” Agathon and Sharon “Athena” Agathon, too, are a favorite couple, because of everything they went through to keep their love, and their daughter, alive. But those two BSG relationships are less OTPs than TPs, I guess.
I suppose another caveat in my answer to this question is that I might have had some OTPs, or at least TPs, in my book reading - for example, Aral and Cordelia from the Vorkosiverse, (although I fell for them after I discovered online fandom, so that's not a first) or Corwin-Deirdre in Zelazny’s Amber series; hush, I know they’re siblings, or half siblings. It’s Amber, and they can do what they want.
I can’t remember any others. I might, if I trotted off to my bookshelves, but if I can’t easily remember them, then I don’t think they fit the bill.
Earlier questions
1. What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?
2. Your newest fandom.
3. You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them?
4. What are the origins of your pen name/user name?
5. What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?
6. What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it? Not necessarily your oldest fandom, but a fandom that you started and still continue to read/write/create content for in some way:
7. What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
8. Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
9. What's the hardest thing about writing, and why are titles the Worst™?
10. Do you have a fandom you follow - either regularly or casually - with little to no knowledge of canon?
11. Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.:
12. A ship you have never liked and probably never will
13. Do you prefer art, fic, or vids? Why? Bonus: If someone was to give you a fandom gift, what format would it be?
14. A pairing - platonic, romantic or sexual - that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
15. What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?
