Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

I was given rahmbamarama, omnishipping, maps, Baker St and university by the lovely laliandra .

Um. Meant to leave this comment ages ago but like a douche I forgot...

Omnishipping pretty much sums up my existence in Harry Potter fandom, and I totally relate to your love of minor characters. I got over all the canon pairings in HP really quickly, and now I'll read almost anyone with anyone.

And ugh, university choices are consuming my life right now :(

Omnishipping is love! Literally ;)

I never really got shipping wars; there are some pairings that don't appeal to me, but I'm usually more repelled by fans of a ship than the ship itself (Harmony case in point). I never didn't like the canon pairing, but that wasn't really what I got into fic for; exploring ideas is much more fun! Especially slash :P I planned and started writing, but never posted, a 25 chapter fic told from the point of view of different minor characters each chapter, that kinda thing is something I really enjoy.

Captain Jack Harkness, I must say, is God's gift to omnishipping. Genius. Again, while I have a healthy love for Jack/Ianto, and not so much for Jack/Gwen, I am most interested in exploring Jack/Yvonne and Jack/Sarah Jane and and and such things as this. Omnishipping is the best! And definitely the most fun. :D :D :D

University stress is truly all consuming sometimes. What are your thoughts?

Lol...I agree, canon pairings are not why I got into fanfiction although my first pairing was Remus/Tonks...this was, of course, before I discovered Remus/Sirius :P). Once you've read what the author has written, the fun is in taking their world and their characters and having fun with them :D

Haha, Jack is brilliant - his personality and his backround give us all the excuse to pair him with anyone and everyone.

University - for a very long time (like almost a year) I was convinced I was going to go and study in the UK. I spent ages looking up all these unis and I picked out Edinburgh, York and Manchester as my top three. But the fees are way expensive and we can't afford them :(

So plan B: hopefully (if I get the score) an Arts degree at Melbourne Uni, which offers a really good exchange program. One of the partner universities is Edinburgh, so, fingers crossed, I can spend 6-12 months at Edinburgh Uni on home fees :D

Wow, talk about epic comments lol...
