Inuyasha! :3

Personally... My OTP is Sess/Rin. It's just so sad!

Runner-up... Inuyasha/kagome. Their love is so-so-SO cliche, but that's why I love the show xD

Honorable mentions? Well, I have no pairings, but I love Miroku, and when I was in middle school I daydreamed about marrying a sexy adult Shippo :D Also, there's a good reason why my ff.net username is 'sesshomarusecretlove'!

Crack Pairings? Uh... *tries to think* I never was really crack-y with that show, I was all over the serious cliche romance xD Uhm- Sesshomaru/Kagome. 'Cause they would kill each other on their first date... Also, OMG, Kikyou/Kagome... 'Cause Inuyasha would find it sexy, haha!

Ship everyone else seems to like - Inuyasha / Kikyou. If Kikyou would just DIE she would end up with Inuyasha anyway, right? 'Cause isn't Kagome her reincarnation?! Hell-o! Stupid woman. -.-

Ah, Inuyasha - an old favourite. I'm guessing you know that the final season is going to start on Oct 10th? *is excited

[hungrytiger11]

I've never really OTPed for Inuyasha, but one good Inu/Kag piece I loved was Phenonix Blade: Time Lapse. I don't know if you've ever read it, but it not, it is AU somewhat and takes a much closer (and better) look at the time-travelling bit. Kagome is a recent graduate of a military like school where some of the instructors might seem familar to the reader... and then she falls down a well and figures out who these instructors she's known really are.

[indira14]

Hm, I've read that fanfiction and really, I was astounded by the amazing vocabulary - that writer has a wider vocabulary thatn most others I know but... that's about it. While I was ok with everything else, Kagome was... severely out of character. Otherwise, that fic worked really well for me - it helped me widen my vocabulary as well!

Btw, I was wondering if you had read this Inu/Kag fic called Dead Famous by Torenza? That's the best Inu/Kag fic that I'll probably read in my entire life! The writer took a really cliche concept and turned into something so original! While the vocabulary isn't as impressive as that of Phoenix Blade, it certainly has a lot of character development! No wonder it got over 10,000 reviews! I was wondering if you'd check it out sometime? Here's the link:

LOL, I'm interested in quite a lot of fandoms, but Naruto is about the only manga/anime for me))) So... Naruto)))

[indira14]

Yay! Naruto! My favourite! So, first off, I'm supposed to tell you my OTP, right? Problem is, I support an OT3 - Team 7 OT3...XD. (You were right! Being shameless is fun!). Hm, but anyway, here goes

[hungrytiger11]

...AMEN to your reasoning about Neji/Tenten. Tenten is awesome. Quit reducing her character.

[indira14]

'Tenten is awesome' - Agreed. Even though she doesn;t get much screen time, we can get a dinstictly accurate ida of her personality by analyzingthe information Kishimot has already given us

[araine]

Umm, Fullmetal Alchemist?
(Since InuYasha was already kinda claimed?)

[indira14]

*squeal* I LOVE FMA! Almost as much as I love Naruto! It's so freakin' awesome - it has astonishing character development, and a mindblowing plot! What I likemost is that there is next to NO stereotypical characetrs in FMA. Hm, that said, here goes:

My OTP: Roy/Riza

Runner-up: Edward/Winry

Honorable mention: Scar/Lust, Roy/Winry

Crack Pairing: Edward/Envy (oh, the 'shrimp' arguments between them make me crack up!)

Ship that eveyone likes but I don't: Roy/Edward. Although I don't deny that I like yaoi, what I DON'T like is supporting a yaoi pairing just because the guys are hot. Roy/Edward just seems like an excuse to get two hot guys together - their relationship is clearly platonic, imbued with respect, and sometimes, a bit of comedic hostility. And I prefer to keep it that way - as superior and subordinate.

[araine]

My OTP: Roy/Riza
THIS IS ME CONCURRING WHOLEHEARTEDLY!
ffffff, Riza why so awesome?

I totally know what you mean about Roy and Ed's dynamic. I don't really see the slash there. I see the superior and the subordinate, and kind of a father-son or brotherly relationship there. I really don't see them making out and getting it on.

[indira14]

YAY!! *cheers* I sooo agree! The manga has given us hints of Edward/Winry often enough, bu there's just something about Roy/Riza. They just work so well together and even when they're talking about offcial business, there's just this SOMETHING about their conversations that draws me to this pairing. It's like they know that the mutual attraction is there, but with all the hocus pocus going on, they were just going to let their relationship flow naturally without pushing anything! As if, it wasn't the right time yet! *sigh* I simply love this pairing...

Anyway, Riza is one KICKASS lady! Literally!

'I really don't see them making out and getting it on. ' - *wrinkles her nose* Them? Sucking face? That's just.. urgh! I totally agree with you!

[hungrytiger11]

Okay, I'm want a two-for-one!

Vampire Knight and Harry Potter!

Two-for-one treat!! ^^

[indira14]

VK and HP are undoubtedly up there somewhere on my top 10 favourite fandoms. Here goes nothing

Re: Two-for-one treat!! ^^

[hungrytiger11]

Oh-haha! Our Vampire Knights pairings match up!

Also- H/Hr has some really cute fics to it! :D and time travelling fics are one of those guilty pleasures that are just such fun! A lot of your HP honorable mention pairings sound really intriguing and some, like Bill/Fleur I don't find a lot for...sad day.

Re: Two-for-one treat!! ^^

[indira14]

Yes, our tastes do match up, don't they? It maybe because os the fact that, unlike in Naruto, the romantic implication in Vampire Knight are less subtle. The pairings are very concret, while in Naruto we're left to wonder whether NaruSaku/SasuSaku/SasuNaru will become canon.

Heh heh, I'd like to pick up on my daily Harry/Hermione dose actually - I've been neglecting it in lieu of Naruto. And yes, it's sad that there isn't much Bill/Fleur around - i think it's because they're already canon. And even though their dynamics are great, most writers like to write how two people get together instead of exploring their relationship after they get together. Add that to the fact that they're constantly overshadowed by the major pairings since they're merely secondary characters, and you get a shortage of good Bill/Fleur fics. It's just not... fair. *sigh*

How about my second favourite anime/manga Bleach?

Mine are:
OTP: Byakuya/Rangiku (it should be in the crack but it's my most favourite)
Runner-up: Ichigo/Rukia
Honorable mentions: Ishida/Orihime, Kenpachi/Yachiru, Kensei/Mashiro, Urahara/Yoruichi, Shinji/Hiyori, Ikkaku/Yumichika, Shunsui/Nanao
Crack pairings: Rose/Lisa, Starrk/Halibel, Nnoitra/Neliel, Renji/Momo
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Renji/Rukia, Ichigo/Orihime and most of Ichigo/some other guy pairing... I'm not a homophobe, just too devoted to IchiRuki...

[indira14]

Bleach, huh? I can't say I like ti all that much even though it's entertaining and the soundtrack is awesome... the constant happenstance puts me off a bit. Anyway, here goes:

My OTP: Ichigo/Rukia

Runner-Up: Toshiro/Rangiku

Honorable mentions: Gin/Rangiku, Ishida/Orihime, Shunsui/Nanao, Renji/Nemu, Urahara/Yorouichi, Grimmjow/Soi Fon (I like AUs regarding this pairing), Yorouichi/Soi Fon, Renji/Rukia.

Crack pairings: Byakuya/Rangiku, Ichigo/Soi Fon yeah, I just adore Soi Fon), Ichigo/Matsumoto.

Ship everyone seems to like but I don't: Ichigo/Orihime and Ichigo/Ishida.

You're right - Ichigo really doesn't seem like the type to go after guys. And hell yeah! Byakuya/Matsumoto rocks - I love the crack! X
