Day 25: Most popular couple in your favorite fandom (do you ship it too?)Star Wars is my all-time One True Fandom, so if I had to guess, I'd say the most popular ship is Han/Leia. However, I know SW has a number of popular slash ships too, like Anakin/Obi-Wan (especially after ROTS) or Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, and I'm honestly not sure how they compare in ( Read more... )

Something a little more light-hearted than family drama:

Day 21: Favorite opposites attract couple
Arthur/Gwen from Merlin - prince and peasant, arrogant and soft-spoken respectively... and yet end up complementing each other almost perfectly.

Day 22: Saddest unrequited loveMost of my couples, if not all, were ultimately requited, so this is a ( Read more... )

Day 20: Favorite couple played for laughs

I don't very often go for the comedic couples - epic and passionate is my cup of tea. There've been a small handful that have entertained me, while falling short of fannish devotion: Jim/Pam from The Office, Niles/Daphne on Frasier, Xander/Cordelia from Buffy, and Han/Leia is growing on me. But even most ( Read more... )

Day 19: Favorite Hero/Villain pairing

Padmé Amidala/Darth Vader, such as in moonspinner's wonderful (and unfortunately in limbo) fic Kaleidoscope. That's P/V as I like it best: the two of them on opposing sides, yet realizing they still have this innate connection, have similar goals... and realizing just how much power each of them has over the other, and ( Read more... )

The lack of activity over at the padmeanakin community may be answer enough already to this, but like Anakin says, "I am a slow learner." ;)

With padmeanakin unfortunately for all intents and purposes in mothballs, its moderator long absent/silent - I wonder, would there be any interest in a new LJ community for the ship? I've been debating on creating a community ( Read more... )

Day 18: Most annoying character that tried to come between a ship

Note, this post contains spoilers for some of the upcoming "Lost Missions" Clone Wars episodes.

( Rush Clovis, Star Wars: The Clone Wars )

Day 16: Favorite villain pairing
Where both parties are villains? Spike/Drusilla from season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They're a sort of vampire Bonnie & Clyde, rolling into a town and bringing it to its knees, yet at the same time, Spike can be sweet and tender with the obviously off-kilter Dru. I didn't read a lot of Buffy novels, but by ( Read more... )

Day 15: A ship canon really messed with
Jean-Luc Picard/Beverly Crusher, Star Trek: The Next Generation. O, what might have been. If you hadn't royally effed up, TPTB.

( I never could say no to you. // Oh, so THAT'S why you married me. )

Day 14: Couple you liked even though you knew it would end up badly

Well, Anakin/Padmé is the ultimate obvious choice here - hell, the first thing we ever knew about it is that it ended badly - so I'll discuss another one, one of my more recent favorite ships that I don't feel like I get to gush on nearly enough: Arthur/Gwen, from BBC's Merlin( ( Read more... )

Day 12: Character you don't like seeing paired with anyone else
I went through a whole lengthy spiel on various exclusive OTPs before I realized I was perhaps misunderstanding the topic: not a character I liked to see only paired with one person, but a character I don't want to see anyone with ( Read more... )
