How does your brain create an OTP?

[nouveau_monday]

This question has actually been floating around in my head for awhile. Probaby since poisontaster mentioned something about no longer writing really writing j2. And certainly her AKB verse is a compelling reason for jeffrey/jensen. not_refined has managed to sell me on that as a pairing once or twice as well. I love both these stories, but they create some weird

I apparently imprint on my OTPs like a baby duck - the first one I see is it for me, forever. I have no interest in other pairings, I don't care how highly recommended the stories are. If it's a TV show I watch, I latch on to whatever couple has the most chemistry, even if they never get together and/or are with other people on the show. It will be Kate/Sawyer forever for me on LOST, no matter what. I'm shipping Sheldon/Penny hard on Big Bang Theory, but most fans and TPTB don't see it. Oh, well, I'm OK being part of an enthusiastic little fandom.

I don't watch Supernatural, and have no interest in Sam/Dean. A friend sent me her favorite J2 fics along with some pictures of the boys and I was a goner. I don't watch any of the Stargates, but the same friend got me started on Daniel/Cameron, even though Daniel/Jack has a much bigger following. I'm sure there are fantastic D/J stories out there, I just don't care.

So, I guess I'm not a good one to answer your question because there is *no* OTP shifting for me, ever. Boring, but there it is. Thanks for the question, though, because I had never really thought about why I like who I like before. It was fun to consider.

i don't find your answer boring. i suspect that is where i come from with very few exceptions.
