Ship Ahoy
Yoinked from smartyshortie
Nine ships you are into right now:
1. Jadzia/Kira (DS9)
2. Brittany/Santana (Glee)
3. Rachel/Quinn (Glee)
4. Olivia/Natalia (GL)
5. Nikki/Nora (N&N)
6. Jane/Maura (R&I)
7. Sarah/Cameron (TSCC)
8. Sarah/River (TSCC/FF)
9. Myka/HG (WH13)
Four ships you don't really like:
10. Allison/Dr. Old Spice (Eureka)
11. Rachel/Finn (Glee)
12. Jane/FBI Agent Bella's Dad (R&I)
13. Andy/Luke (RB)
What would be your ideal scenario for couple three?
Most of the fics I've read seem to consider Quinn moving in with Rachel and her dads to be a key step.
Which is your favorite moment for couple one?
I honestly can't remember. It's mostly a lot of little moments where I go "ah, interaction" and squee a little. But I haven't finished watching the series yet, so something may come up later.
How long have you been following couple six?
Just this year. It's a new show. I tried resisting it, but all of my friends were losing their minds over the subtext, and there was so much fic, I had to check it out.
What's the story with eight?
The story is literally this. I don't usually read crossovers, and I never would have thought to pair these two together, but it was inspectorboxer, so of course I had to check it out, and of course I got hooked.
You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose between ten or twelve.
Well the writers pretty much took care of ten for me, but even if they hadn't I'd still pick 12. And not just because I adore Jane and Maura together, but because the chemistry between Jane and Bella's Dad is just awful, and actually painful to watch.
Which ship do you prefer, two or four?
Brittana vs. Otalia? That's evil. On the one hand we have a hinted at relationship, on the other an actual relationship. But then again, we have a potential future relationship vs. a cancelled show. And it's true that all the good things about both these pairs are happening in fanfic right now. I adore Brittana, but I think I'm gonna have to go with Otalia, simply because we actually saw it happen and it was pretty damn epic. The cheerleaders can get back to me once they've spent a year dancing around their feelings for each other and being tortured by angst.
How do you feel about seven?
I was actually just talking about them the other day, though I don't recall to whom. Sarah/Cameron is the only pairing I can think of that I ship hardcore without having any canon or subtext to draw from. I would say 90% of my 'ships have at least one scene where I noticed something and went "aha!". I honestly did not see anything to indicate this would be remotely possible. It is all based on fanfic. I was curious to see if it could be done, so I checked one out, and really got into it. Cameron is a very tricky character to maneuver into even a physical relationship, let alone figuring out how to give her emotions. I very much enjoy when the author does it well. It's like setting the game on Expert; sure you can write a great Xena/Gabrielle plot, but can you get a cyborg to evolve feelings authentically?
Does your affection for nine affect your love of the show?
A bit, in a positive way. I really dug the show during the first season, mainly for the awesomeness that is Claudia, and the wicked chemistry Pete and Myka have as partners. HG coming in and being all sex-on-legs and subtexty was just icing. And her being confirmed as canonically bisexual was the cherry on top.
What's a song that reminds you of five?
"Dreams" by Gabrielle. There's a really neat fanvid done for the show, and that's the song they used. Every time I hear it now I think of the Nikki & Nora vid.
Have two kissed yet?
Not on screen. They've slept together, but we only heard about it after the fact. It may have even been pre-show. *crosses fingers for onscreen smoochings*
Did four have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
Yes. When last we saw them they were happily raising two children together, and the third had just returned home from Iraq.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, two or six?
Oy, again with the evil. Brittana or Rizzles... Ya know, I think for the sheer head-exploding value of it, I've gotta go with Jane/Maura. Yeah, the plots of the show suck out loud, but can you just imagine watching Sasha Alexander and Angie Harmon be actually gay instead of just madly homoerotic? I mean, they're, like, 70% of the way there already.
You have the power to decide the fate of ten. What happens to them?
Meh, send Old Spice back to his own time. He may be all rich and world-travelly now, but he could always come back to town and spoke Carter's wheel again. I want him safely back in 194-whatever where he belongs.
Which was your original OTP?
If we wanna get really early about it, probably Kermit/Ms. Piggy. But if we're talking a more grown-up notion of togetherness, I believe my first 'ship was Mulder/Scully.
Hrmm... there aren't actually any questions about 11 or 13. Oh well. Funny, though; the reason I dislike both of those pairs is that the guys are so bland and boring. I'm not opposed to het-pairings as a rule. I'm a big fan of Castle/Beckett, Allison/Carter, several BSG and Whedonverse pairings, etc. But those two guys are just... meh. No spark, no wit, no humor, no edge. Yawn.
