Fandom Questions Meme (11-20)
Let's get all the shipping over in one burst!
Ship Questions for your Current Fandom
11. Who is your current OTP?
I have ships, I even have what you might call an OTP in a fandom from time to time, but my current fandom is Doctor Who. I don't have one single OTP for that.
If there's one ship I am a bit OTP-ish about (at least for that era), it is probaby Five/Tegan, for many reasons, but I already did a manifesto once, so I don't think I need to do it again.
12. Who is your current OT3?
This is all supposed to be DW, but let's face it: my main OT3 is, always and forever, Sapphire/Silver/Steel.
If you tie me down and force me to have a DW OT3, probably Liz/Brig/Three. Probably.
13. Any NoTPs?
Yes. Four/Adric. Why would you? ;-p
14. Go on, who are your BroTPs?
Well, okay, it's got to be Seven & Ace, really. But I'm very fond of Four, Sarah and Harry, and Two, Zoe and Jamie as well. And Six & Evelyn, and Bill & Twelve. (It is a fandom where the focus is much more usually on the Doctor-companion friendships than anything else.)
5. Is there an obscure ship which you love?
Do I need to answer that? Yes, I like quite a lot of seriously obscure ships. I expect you're not shocked at this point.
16. Are there any popular ships in your fandom which you dislike?
Conversely, if there's one thing that's going to put me off a ship, if it's it gets to be the juggernaut, so, yes: Doctor/Rose. (I have technically committed Six/Rose, but someone bet me I couldn't write it and promised me a fiver. Which they never gave me! I have in my life been bribed with an actual carrot and a fiver to do stuff and I did the stuff but I got neither.)
17. Who was your first OTP and are they still your favourite?
My first DW was Seven & Ace, but my first novelisations I read were all Five, and I probably shipped Five/Tegan from picking up Time-Flight onwards. And see the answer to the first question above. Maybe!
18. What ship have you written the most about?
Good question! I am going to guess Brig/Liz, and now I shall go away and check.
... I am right! I have 8 works on the AO3, more than for any other single ship, and I know there are a couple more than have never made it across from Teaspoon, because they're long and probably need editing, and that's not counting the ones that I think are Brig/Liz but which are marked gen because that's what everyone else thinks they are.
(Shipping is hard.)
19. Is there a ship which you wished you could get behind, but you just don’t feel them?
I suppose maybe Two/Jamie? I mean, I can see it, but I never really ship it as such. I'd rather have Two, Zoe & Jamie.
20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?
It's been too long! I am pretty sure that once upon a time I was startled to find myself liking odd DW ships, but after a while, once you've read Ten/Jackie, Donna/Duggan, Kamelion/Vacuum Cleaner, Doctor/Hatstand or Jack/Weeping Angel, anything starts to seem possible in the right author's hands.
I was surprised that I enjoyed the one that's technically Doctor/Master/Frobisher mpreg, but Levendis is always fun, and everything's better with penguins. ;-p
