Hey, a navel-gazing meme. I haven't done one of those in a while.
And by "in a while" I mean "since maybe last week". Stolen from violetisblue :
Name fifteen favorite fannish pairings (het/slash/canon/fanon), and ask people to see if they notice any common traits/tendencies in the pairings you choose. Try to pick different fandoms.
Oh man. Do I even have 15 favorite ships? I don’t know. I suppose I’ll just pick the ships I write the most, but considering the paltry amount of fic I write the number of ships I’ve written is, like, two. I’m doing fandom so terribly wrong. You know what, I’ll just pick fifteen ships I’m into or have been into in the recent past.
1. Three/Jo (Doctor Who)
2. Horatio/Pellew (Horatio Hornblower)
3. Auron/Braska (Final Fantasy X)
4. Horatio/Yelina (CSI: Miami - I know I write more Horatio/Marisol, but H/Y ekes out a win by virtue of both the participants being still alive and stuff)
5. Tony/JARVIS (Iron Man movieverse)
6. Three/Brigadier or Three/Liz/Brigadier (I couldn’t decide) (Doctor Who)
7. Kirk/McCoy (Star Trek movieverse; jury’s out on TOSverse)
8. Nick/Warrick (CSI)
9. Nicholas/Danny (Hot Fuzz)
10. Gibbs/Abby (NCIS)
11. Wesker/Birkin (Resident Evil)
12. Horatio/Ryan (CSI: Miami) (shut up, I’m running out of fandoms I’m not too embarrassed to name)
13. Two/Jamie (Doctor Who)
14. Middleman/Wendy (Middleman - yes, I know they were established as father/daughter figures. Look, I didn’t want to ship it.)
15. Tie: Felix/Sheba (Golden Sun) and Felix/Piers (Golden Sun)
The thing is, for a lot of my fandoms I really don’t ship, and a lot of the ships, so I can’t pick anything from a lot of shows, books, and movies that I love (Monk is still possibly my favorite television show ever, but I don’t ship anybody on it). Limits my options somewhat.
Unrelated: Would it be terribly bad of me to write fic based on a game I haven't played? I promise I'll watch playthroughs and read guides and stuff. And it'll be a crossover where I know one of the canons already.
I am so very behind in the world of gaming. I kind of miss it.
Back to work.
