So, uh, the only Tortall universe I've read in recent years is Provost's Dog and I've never read The Immortals.

My M/F OTP: Goodwin/Tom
My M/M OTP: ... I think this may be the one canon I've never contemplated slash in.
My F/F OTP: Lark/Rosethorn
My endgame OTP: Beka/Rosto
My original OTP: Alanna/Jonathan...and then I kept reading.
My crack OTP: Chime/Pounce. I just made that up now.
My guilty pleasure OTP: Briar/any girl he's not related to. I just found that coping mechanism fascinating.
My anti-OTP: Briar/any of his sisters

This took some thinking, because I seem to think less about shipping with books (unless of course it's an explicitly romantic series). Is that weird? I'd argue that it's because Tamora Pierce's stuff does include romance but isn't all about it, but Digimon's about kids with computer monsters saving the world. Maybe it's the fandom influence and how I don't usually get as much into book fandoms online...

Well, like you said, we don't have too much fandom overlap. But I also ship less with books. I guess because they tend to have more of a view of what's actually going on in the character's head, whereas with TV you can make it up to suit your purposes.

My endgame OTP: Beka/Rosto
My original OTP: Alanna/Jonathan...and then I kept reading.

YES.

I don't remember the circle books too well, honestly. I haven't read Tortall in many years (aside from Beka), but when I did I read them SO MANY TIMES that I still remember them pretty well.

This makes a ton of sense.

Heh, it sounds like Circle is to me as Tortall is to you. And I shoved my series bias at my sister too, recced her Tamora Pierce in general though mentioned that I prefer Circle and I've never seen her reading a Tortall book.

Oh man, I ship for this fandom but the canon itself keeps on freaking trolling with ships so much that I don't even have OTPs any more.

My M/F OTP: ... Yeah, I got nothing.
My M/M OTP: I just don't want Kurt to end up with Blaine.
My F/F OTP: Brittana.
My endgame OTP: NO IDEA.
My original OTP: Finnchel - but then they got kind of boring - but then Rachel's codependency issues at the start of season 2 were fascinating - but then they both screwed things up and I don't even know any more.
My crack OTP: Rachel/Santana. idek
My guilty pleasure OTP: Puckleberry. DAT UST
My anti-OTP: Kurt/Karofsky. Just...no.
