Hermione/Anyone: Whatever. I'll be over here reading the fanfic I like. Everyone else can go read fanfic they like. WE ALL WIN.
FiOS: Like, okay. John Greene is charming and I enjoy his YouTube videos, but I have basically zero interest in his writing. Outside of the history videos he does. Which are awesome! /history nerd.
I saw John Greene popping up on tumblr here and there. He seemed fairly entertaining and cool, but not enough to actually follow him. AND THEN THIS MOVIE HAPPENED AND I HAVE BLOCKED HIS NAME.
Yeah. I'm deeply pleased FF.net put in a "NO. I MEAN IT. NO." filter for characters. That said, they should up the number of characters you can filter out. HOOK GETS BANNINATED IMMEDIATELY.
And that's understandable. I like most things in moderation and the Greene brothers fall deeply in that category.
As for my NOTP's, eh. It's a long list. But the one that still lights me on fire and causes BP spikes that require me to go lie down and concentrate on the blowing of the wind is Emma Frost/Scott Summers. I just. Black-out rage if I think on it too long.
That said, if you run over awesome Molly/Lestrade fic where they are great, send it this way.
I admit that I have always found Hook's actor to be most attractive. And I'm afraid there were a couple of points this last season where I found myself softening briefly on my anti!Hook/Emma stance. But I will not give in! Hook is a jackass and Emma doesn't deserve to have to put up with him long-term. I'm OK with him pining over her and her being all "Whatever", though.
I am definitely so with you on the no Molly/Sherlock thing. Like you, I like them both and liked their palling around and the fact that he respects her more now, but as a romance? No. Sherlock would just be far, far, far too overbearing for Molly and no good would come of it long-term.
For Harry Potter, I always generally preferred the OT3 of Harry/Hermione/Ron, but I never felt particularly strongly about it one way or another. And back in the days when I was in the fandom, I always tiptoed quietly around the two shipper camps, because I wanted none of that. :-D

ATTRACTIVE? I FEEL SO BETRAYED NOW. XD

No. Sherlock would just be far, far, far too overbearing for Molly and no good would come of it long-term.Yes yes yes. I've seen people saying that because she slapped him, that means she's now keeping him in line. (Erm, what?) And also that because she was in his mind palace, that means he luuuuuurves her. (Anderson was with her, so I'm not sure if Sherlock is hoping for a threesome? Something tells me Anderson wouldn't mind. Although

Yeah like for some reason Tumblr really ramps up the annoyance factor with EVERYTHING. I don't know why. Is it the lack of filters? Is it the fact that you have so little control over what is on your dashboard? Like, damn, things have annoyed me before in fandom but usually I could avoid them. ON TUMBLR NOWHERE IS SAFE.
In the spirit of this post, the ship that I can now not stand for even a fraction of a second and that makes me want to burn and salt the earth is, incredibly, ~David/Billie~. By which I do not mean (obviously) either David Tennant or Billie Piper as people or the actual friendship they have in reality, but rather the fact that every single post about EITHER OF THEM is inevitably going to surface on my dash accompanied by sonnets about how 5 seconds after this picture/gif/whatever happened THEY TOTALLY HAD SEX. SOOOOO MUCH SEX. ADULTERY AND SEX. IT'S "CANON". It makes me want to set myself on fire. AND IT CAN'T BE BLACK LISTED unless I want to blacklist both of them entirely and I don't want to do that. I JUST WANT TO
( ... )
I think it is the lack of filters and also no cuts! Well, there are cuts but no one uses them.
OMG DAVID/BILLIE. I hate when you're scrolling down some adorableness of DT and BP and you're all set to like and reblog and then BAM. RPF-ing. NO. I WANTED THE OPPOSITE OF THIS.
I KNOW RIGHT. Every photo is suspect! And even if I reblog a version that has no rpf there's a strong chance someone will reblog from me to add rpf. AHHHHhhHhHH WHY.
LOL, it's funny because I've spent the last couple weeks reading all the Sherlock/Molly fics I can find EVEN THOUGH I don't particularly ship them. I think it's a case of there's so little non-Johlock fic in the fandom that beggars can't be choosers.
That being said if anyone has any Sherlock het recs for me I'd be absolutely thrilled. I'm still eternally grateful to you for reccing Compatible Damages to me. Has anyone written any Sherlock/Janine fics yet? THAT is a pairing I could really get behind.

That is SO true. I don't feel like I can whine too much about other pairings in Sherlock because of the sheer John/Sherlock dominance.

THAT is a pairing I could really get behind.I haven't seen any Janine fics (although I haven't been looking for that pairing), but would you be interested in a Sherlock/Jane (female John) fic? I've been pretty entertained by this one even though they're basically rehashing the first three eps. They're different enough to keep my interest. (Nothing bores me quicker than a fic that basically writes out a transcript of the eps

Oh! Just thought of another fic, although this one's gen. No pairings really. Sherlock finds out he's the father of a ten year old named John Watson. Obviously super AU, but I really love this different father-son dynamic between them. Plus there's lots of fabulous Holmes family stuff as well.

And generally when I see Molly/Lestrade, it's as a side to Sherlock/John, but I'll keep an eye out.
