a meme thing
Normally the idea is you ask me numbers and I answer, but fuck it I'm just answering them. The topic is fandom in general.
1 - Your current OTP
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. Probably still AusHun, but I have a handful of strong runner up options, including Marian Hawke/Merrill, Isabela/Bethany, Princess Celestia/Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash/Applejack, Applejack/Rarity, Vinyl Scratch/Octavia, Kyoko/Sayaka, Himawari/Sakurako, and Kyouko/Ayano (the last 2 are from Yuru Yuri)
2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
Johanna/Katniss from The Hunger Games. I didn't see it at first, then someone on tumblr pointed out how that one line she had about wanting to rip Katniss' dress off sounded and I was sold.
3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
Prussia/Austria and Spain/Austria. I just. Can't. Ugh. Also I can never ship a male Hawke with Merrill. No idea why. Something about it just bugs me.
4 - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
I wish I could like Prussia/Hungary. I really do. Hungary is my favorite character and it's her most popular ship, so I'd have so much more excellent material with her. But I just. Can't do it.
5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what
I am half responsible for this ridiculous RP thread that took place on a post for a trollfic. My friend and I RPed as two of the characters from this trollfic, "Gmerary" and "Frnace". Yes, they were the trollfic's Germany and France. If you couldn't guess, I was the one responsible for gmerary.
I also wrote a fic in which the pairing was Prussia's right hand/Prussia. :3
6 - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
I was strongly into Hetalia for about 3 years, and it's still one of my fandoms.
7 - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it
Jessie/James. Rocketshipping baby, awww yeah.
8 - Do you prefer characters from real action series or animated series?
I tend to be more of an anime/cartoon fan, but that's not to say I don't get into live action.
9 - Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
Homestuck. Ugh. Fucking Homestuck. Too many douchey fans being smug about the comic's popularity. Also I've lost too many friends to it. Too many people became Homestuck fans and proceeded to not want to talk to me anymore because I don't want to gush about it with them 24/7.
10 - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr or your social network sites.
Hm. Probably Doctor Who.
11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom?
Which one? Most Hetalia fans piss me off. I'm pretty okay with the MLP fandom overall as I've mostly only met cool people in it, but the creeps I've heard about irritate me. Type Moon fans mostly disgust me outside of the group that I'm friends with. Most Madoka fans are cool, though the ones who rage about shipping Homura and Madoka or Kyoko and Sayaka with anyone but each other need to shut up, as do the homophobic ew yuri ones.
12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for?
Hm. I think something like this for fanart: There are 2 bedrooms separated by one wall, the picture is set up so each bedroom is half the page, with the wall in the middle. On one side, Marian is having sex with Merrill, on the other Isabela with Bethany. The Hawke sisters are in the same position. For a fic, similar setup but the whole idea is that the sisters both think the other one is sleeping in the room next door and thus they're both trying really hard to stay quiet.
13 - Your favorite piece of fanart or fanartist.
Forever.
14 - Your favorite piece of fanfiction or fanauthor.
This is too hard to narrow down. It's probably one of countless AusHun kink meme fills.
15 - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of
Boom Boom by Emmy just came up. I'm going to say AppleDash.
16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)
I love the idea of a Fate/Extra AU where Hakuno and Saber escape the Moon Cell and have to figure out how to live in the real world as an adorable domestic lesbian couple.
17 - A ship you’ve abandoned and why
Pretty much all my Homestuck ships. I'm done with that fandom.
18 - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
I could probably name like 50 Hetalia ships for this haha but let's go with Monaco/Liechtenstein. Also Rarity/Princess Luna.
19 - Show us an example of your personal headcanon
Princess Luna hasn't entirely gotten rid of Nightmare Moon. There are times when Nightmare Moon appears in front of her as a spectre, trying to talk her into fighting back against Celestia again. She denies it to herself, but she knows deep down that this still happens because part of her still thinks Nightmare Moon is right, Celestia is being unfair to her even now, and she should fight back.
20 - Do you remember what your first fanwork was?
...Let's not speak of that.
21 - Self-rec: What's your favorite fanwork you've created?
I'm really proud of Indivisibly and Inseparably, an AusHun fic that I wrote for June 8th a couple years ago.
22 - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping
...Yup.
23 - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms
-Hungary
-Nightmare Moon
-Kyoko Sakura
-Sakurako
-Caster (Fate/Stay Night)
24 - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms
-Austria/Hungary
-Saber/Irisviel
-Himawari/Sakurako
25 - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from
Hm. Probably The Avengers is the closest I get. I do ship Tony/Pepper and Natasha/Agent Hill, but not hard enough to *really* care. So close enough.
26 - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go
omfg I'm so fucking excited for Lost Girl's upcoming DVD release * ^ * just. YES.
