"3 - A pairing or character you have never liked and probably never will."
At least the way canon is now, Lichtenstein/Switzerland, from Axis Powers Hetalia. I love the characters individually. I adore their interactions as brother and sister. But, like I think I mentioned before, Liechtenstein in the series is a little kid who continuously refers to Switzerland as "big brother" and has the same reliance on him that a child has on a parent. It's a little too much.

The Nostalgia Critic and the Nostalgia Chick. I know there's ship tease out the wazoo and it can be hilarious, but I just can't fully ship it. For starters, those characters, like most of the cast of Channel Awesome, are played up as insane people who hate the world and more often than not screw each other over. Again, it's hilarious, but I try to think of any of the characters in a steady relationship and just can't. The other reason is that the various actors on the site give out information on their personal lives, and I know that Doug Walker is now happily married and that Lindsy and Todd are dating. I'm aware that the Critic and the Chick are fictional characters, but I still feel guilty about shipping them. It feels like I'm butting in and telling them who they ought to be with, when they're already happy with someone. (Um...if that makes sense ^^; )
"16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom. (We always need more ideas.)"
I'm going to do Hetalia here (it's the only one I have an AU already thought of for), but if you want to request a specific fandom, I'll do that also, if possible. ^^; This idea was taken from a premise for a fic I wanted to write awhile back.
During WWII, Germany is sent by his boss to find the Holy Grail, like in canon. Here though, he begins searching Finland's place and apparently finds the thing. In actuality it isn't the Holy Grail. It's the Sampo (a vaguely-described, mystical item from a Finish epic), but Germany doesn't know this and takes it back. The Sampo is able to produce an unknown fuel substance, and Nazi scientists use it to create a weapon known as the Die Glock. This, in turn, sets off a chain reaction as the other nations appropriate the newly-developed technology, and ends with them all eventually taking the war into space. While the various nations use sci-fi technology to fight one another, the Nordic countries try to recover the Sampo, as they're the only ones who know exactly what it is.
"25 - A fandom that you're in but that you have no ships from."
Eh...hm. I'm not hugely in the fandom for it, but I'd say Sucker Punch would be closest. I really have no ships for it, at least. ^^;
