One True Pairing (OTP) Poll - Results
Thank you to all of you who took my most recent poll, and also for expanding on your choices in the comments - it made for some very interesting and educational reading.
On one hand, given the comments for my previous poll, together with bits and pieces I'd picked up around fandom, I wasn't surprised by the results. On the other hand, part of me ( Read more... )

As you know I share your view of a OTP whihc makes me rather old fashioned it would seem.
You and me both. Certainly for reading; less so for writing, but even then, if you take it against all the other views, then it's fairly unsual.
I mean you can read about any pairing your heart desires in some of them.
How true.
I'm thinking NCIs and poor Gibbs getting so much action I am surprised he doesn't retire to a monestry ;-)
LOL Good point. He certainly can't have time to actually work!
The more I think too I think that even fandom that used to have 2 pairings (eg dS) have expanded too. In the last few years in dS we've seen definate rise in some pairings like Kowalski/Vecchio, Kowalski/Gardino, femslash has got a bit more popular. There's seemingly more people who experiment with pairings than there when the fandom started 12 years ago. I think part of that is the multi-pairing atmosphere of LJ.
And I believe, but I may be wrong, that Stagate SG-1 is like this too. At first it was only Jack/Daniel and Jack/Sam, but now it's expanded, to pretty much everyone with everyone else. Jack has even been paired with Thor!
But yes I think you've got a good explanation there.
Thank you.

:-) I always like your meta polls.

Indeed. I was slightly surprised that the original defintion was so a minority view now I'll admit. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)

Hee hee indeed not. No wonder it took him so long to finish that boat.

You know that sounds about right to me. I've not been in the SG-1 fandom but I have watched from afar and even that show seems to be growing more pairings as time goes on. Jack/Thor is one I had not heard of and one I'd have never thought of either.
In fact a lot of shows seem to get more pairings as time goes on. Very intersting...

We're used to being in the minority, aren't we?

*Giggle* Hey, I know, he didn't really go to Mexico; he just pretended to, so that he could hide away in his basement and finish it :-)

Nor would I!

Yep and there's nothing wrong in that :-)

I think you;re right! I mean it had come on between 3 & 4 hadn't it hmmm....
Ducky: Jethro, when are you going to tell them you weren't really in Mexico?
Gibbs: I don't know, Duck, I mean why break the illusion.
Ducky: They think you were in Mexico, miles away, that didn't care nymore when you were down in your basement finishing your boat.
Gibbs: You were there with me, duck, why don't you tell them.
Ducky: It's not up to me, Jethro and I think the explanation for your facial hair should come from you.
Gibbs: I don't think they'd believe it.
Ducky: Ah well perhaps you;re right.
Gibbs: Dinner, Duck?
Ducky: That would be lovely, thank you Jethro.
Nor would I!
I'm still boggling...

Indeed.
Gibbs: You were there with me, duck, why don't you tell them.
Ah, that's nice :-)
and I think the explanation for your facial hair should come from you.
Jethro???? Do tell, please. Pretty please.
I'm still boggling...
:-) Me too!

This ignoring each other is all just an act ;-)

Ducky: I'm afriad it's rather embarassing, Nicky and Jethro seems rather reluctant to share it.
Gibbs: Well it was partly your fault, Duck, if you'd told me I was allergic it wouldn't have happened.
Ducky: Jethro, my dear, I know much about your medical history but I'm afraid that particular item of interest alluded me. The moustache did cover it up well. And it made you look...
Gibbs: What?
Ducky: Distinguished. I mean it wasn't the sort of moustache my father would wear, but still.
Gibbs: You want me to grow it back?
Ducky: Oh no, dear, you look much better without it.
Gibbs: Thank you.
Ducky: Although I believe Abby doesn't agree with the rest of the team's idea for a Christmas gift.
Gibbs: Whihc is?
Ducky: A razor.
Gibbs; And what am I getting from you, Duck?
Ducky: Ah you have to wait and see.
Gibbs: Okay, I will. But so will you.
Ducky: Of course, I like surprises.

*Giggle* I'm glad to hear it.

The mind boggles even more, gentlemen, but I won't push you for an explanation.
You want me to grow it back?
No! We don't.

Ducky: Thank you, Nikki.
No! We don't.
Ducky: I'll make sure he doesn't.

And I'm sure that if anyone can make Jethro do anything, it's you, Ducky.

Somebody did a very funny "Something to Talk About" vid for Jack/Thor years ago (RDA does get quite hands on with the puppet from time to time) but I think the main source is actually that Thor is voiced by Daniel's actor. So it can be a bit of a joke pairing that isn't seen as a threat to Jack/Daniel.
