4 - A pairing or character you wish you liked but just can't.
Hmmm toughie one for me… I guess I could list a few… Let’s see - don't wanna go with anything to "mainstream" (that's a joke).
Movie!Scott Pilgrim/Movie!Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim. In the books they work, but I just never thought it felt “real” in the movie - far to rushed and Ramona became your cliché girl who shows up and changes a guy’s life. Good visuals though… I wish I could get into it because it really ruins the movie for me…
Naoto/Kanji is a popular pairing from Persona 4, I think it’d be “cute” but I just can’t see it working out at all. Kanji is a dope and emotional and Naoto is too intelligent and formal for Kanji - they‘d never understand each other. That’s not to say dopey people and intelligent people couldn’t get along or even fall in love - it’s just the emotional/formal problem that makes the gap to wide in my opinion. Also I think Kanji is gay…
Jennifer/Nolan from Clock Tower 2 (it was called Clock Tower in the US, but it’s the second game) a survival horror game for the Playstation. Jennifer is the main character from the first game who really deserves a happy ending and Nolan seems like a nice enough guy but… Jennifer is friggin’ fifteen well Nolan is twenty-six! I don’t care if the game takes place in Norway - it’s creepy! (Although considering Jennifer has a 35 year old stalker perhaps everything is all for the best?)
For single characters?
Derpy/Ditzy Hooves. A background character from episodes with a specific eye type? Seriously people? On the other hand she’s got a neat coloring style and I like some of the fan stuff… but seriously - she talks and people go nuts. First they complain about her voice then they complain when they change the scene? Over a backgrounder? [sigh] I wish I understood…

7 - Do you remember your first OTP? If so, who was in it?
Hmmm not really, I’ll list the earliest ones I can remember so I don‘t leave you with nothing - most are from video games.
Nina/Katt from Breath of Fire II are probably my first “non-canon” OTP (with Nina/Ryu being canon from what I can tell). Their interactions are so cute and then the fact that Katt was complimenting Nina and calling her pretty when Nina felt down about her black wings - awwww!
Marle/Chrono from Chrono Trigger - it’s canon too.
Haruka/Michiru from Sailor Moon, it’s canon also.
Rudy and Cecelia from Wild ARMs which is left ambiguous, but can be made “canon” in an odd sense. Oddly this is the only one I no longer support. I now ship Rudy and Jane which can also be made “canon” (damn remake had to make her scenes with him so cute).

9 - Has the Internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms? If so, which one(s) and why?
Not the game but a certain place for the Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross fandom itself I dislike, I’m sorry - I can’t go into details…
I’m (ironically) not fan boyish enough to have this reaction. I guess you could say Family Guy, but I probably would have started hating that show regardless…

If I remember anything that falls under these I’ll let you know…
Sorry if that wasn't very good - I'll try better next time. -_-'
