Name a fandom, and I'll tell you who I ship and why.
Then post this on your LJ so I can play too.Oh, and in case you're wondering exactly which fandoms I delve into (because I don't talk about all of them), they would be Prison Break (duh), La Femme Nikita, Harry Potter, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who (old and new series),

I already know the who, but I'll enjoy hearing the why: LFN.

[msgenevieve]

Heh.

I'd seen the original French movie Nikita twice before I saw #101 and loved it. I was all psyched because the lead was an Aussie girl, and it looked very slick and high-tech and all kinds of yummy.

And then came the "Good morning," from Michael, and the mind games and the anger and the wrestling and the scorching UST between Michael and Nikita, and that was in the first five minutes. So, yeah. I was a goner. They were both f*cked up and their relationship was a huge mess of misunderstandings and poorly concealed desire. In other words, right up my alley. *g*

That said?

I also ship Madeline/Paul and Adrian/George. Because they're power couples to the extreme, and just as f*cked up as Michael/Nikita. *grins*

LOL.

That *is* a fun pairing dynamic, I must say!

[msgenevieve]

Damn straight. I don't ship for boring, vanilla reasons, baby! *g*

[scribblecat]

You Like PB? NOWAI! Me too! Who do you ship and why?

[msgenevieve]

WAY

[scribblecat]

Oh I guess. If you're into that. Lol

I ship them because they're brave and loyal and caring and smart, whether they're together or apart.

You're a poet and you don't know it!

I have never cared so much for two fictional characters as much as these two. I love her in her own storyline as much as him but when they're together they light up the screen.
They just fit so well for all the reasons you mention.
It's not a fairytale, there are lies in the past yet they have complete trust in each other.

[msgenevieve]

Yes, I am totally into that sort of thing. *g*

Who do you ship from Buffy?

[msgenevieve]

Oh, this is a bit more complicated. *g

[thennen]

Hmm, Buffy/Xander. I always tend to automatically hate that kind of relationship, the pining best friend and then they finally work it out never seems realistic, you know? I think it probably helps that my best friend is a guy and I could never think of him in that way, and I don't get how someone can transition from seeing their best friend as being like a brother to seeing them as someone they feel romantically for. It never, ever, ever gets explained either, which doesn't help.

Arghh, rant over. I actually really didn't like Angel for awhile, and then I started watching Bones and suddenly worked out he was actually, you know, hot. So I might have to rent out the earlier seasons -- when I started watching I watched the first half of season one and then skipped to the seasons with Spike, because I found him more interesting.

The only thing I don't like about Seth Green is that he made that film Without a Paddle, which I hated. But overall, he is spectacular, yes?

[msgenevieve]

I always had a very soft spot for Xander. I wanted him to get over Buffy when it was became painfully obvious that she was never going to feel the same way. *sighs*

Without a Paddle is a blight on Seth Green's otherwise amazingness. *g*

[abvj]

I didn't know you watched Angel , so I'm going to go with that.

[msgenevieve]

Fred/Wesley. *sighs* Big time. To this day, I cannot watch "Hole in the World" without blubbing my eyes out. They were both so dorky and fumbling around each other. Wesley, for all his aquired street smarts, was ga-ga for this strange, brilliant woman who was apparently in love with someone else. And then things changed and they found each other, and then it was taken away and I'm welling up just thinking about it.

I loved Angel and Cordy's friendship, and I *hated* that they turned them into a couple. Grrrrr.

[cranberry117]

I still don't know how I feel about Ange/Cordy. I also loved their friendship. I generally loved how they developed Cordy at the beginning of the series and hated how they just f-ed it all up at the end.

[msgenevieve]

I hated that they turned her into the love interest. Their friendship was just so awesome, I loved it all the more because they managed to be BFF without the usual romantic entanglements coming into it. And then they went and did it.

Oh, and let's not forget Cordy/Connor. *claws at eyes some more*

[cranberry117]

Who do you ship in Harry Potter?

[msgenevieve]

I have shipped Harry/Hermione right from their first scene together in the first book.

And that, my friend, means that I can live through any fandom kerfuffle known to man. *g*

[xshorty24x]

*high five*

[msgenevieve]

Slash vs Het flamewars?

Heads in boxes?

Trolls with 447 sockpuppets?

Bring it ON.
