Questions Post #7
I'm invoking my official capacity as . . . Official Capacity Invoking Gal to declare this month the Month Of The OTP.
Because when some people think of B/A they think: they're so over. And when some people think of A/S they think: but they're not gay! And when some people think of S/X they think: I . . . I just don't get it. And when some people read B/F they think: I'm liking it and I don't even know why! And when some people read B/Gunn they think: hey! those two never even met!
And so I'm going to share my love for my own OTP. I have a bunch of bits floating around in my back up files (because my comp blew up) and in my head that're all about My Favorite Pairing: why I ship them, why I love them, things I think other people should know about them, recs I want and recs I want to give, what I hate about it, things I feel like whining about in regards to it.
I love B/A. I want others who love B/A to splooge with me in a cesspit of love. And I want others who don't love B/A to learn something about my love, or to grow to respect it, or to try a fic and discover they kinda like it or no, that they really hate it, or to point and laugh and say affectionately, oh, you silly B/Aers, we all know Snyder/Oz is the only ship worth squeeing over! I want those who don't love B/A to share their B/S love, or A/S love, or S/X love, or B/F love, or Snyder/Oz love, and teach me something about it, or romance me into loving it with them.
So I'm going to try to organize my B/A bits and share my love, because I'm nothing if not a great big old mushy . . . Mushy Gal. And because I doubt anyone else has been collecting OTP bits and wondering what to do with them like I have, or that anyone is going to say: this is a great idea tkp, let me go squee in my own journal right now (though I'm secretly hoping every one of you will, which is apparently no longer a secret), you can do it here.
What's your one true pairing/3/ship of choice/favorite pairing/tripling/orgy/people you sometimes like to see have sex (OTP3SOCFPTOPYSLTSHS)?
What's something you love about it?
What's a reason you think these characters are good together?
What would you say about it if you wanted to try to get someone interested in it?
Is there any meta/manifesto/discussions you might link to for someone just getting into the pairing?
What's a scene in canon that occurs between these two characters you really like (if they met in canon)?
What's a fic you love that features it?
What's a fic you consider a "classic" to it (even if you yourself don't think much of it)?
What's a fic you might rec to someone to introduce them to it/romance them into it?
What's an element you like to see in fics about it?
What's a fic you've written that features it (if you write fic)?
What's one thing you like one of the characters in it to say when they're having wild monkey sex?
What's something you dislike about it (the pairing itself, not fandom's treatment of it)?
What's something you dislike about the way you percieve fandom views it?
What's something that turns up in a lot of fic about it that isn't to your taste?
