Tired of this meme yet?

Name fifteen favorite fannish pairings (het/slash/canon/fanon), and ask people if they notice any common traits/tendencies in the pairings you choose. Try to pick different fandoms.

EDIT: Now with YouTube vids (where they exist...and don't completely suck) to make it more interesting.

1. Six/the Rani (Doctor Who)
2. George/Mason (Dead Like Me)
3. Valentine/Helena (Mirrormask)
4. Five/Tegan (Doctor Who)
5. Rimmer/Lister (Red Dwarf)
6. Harry/Luna (Harry Potter)
7. Snape/Hermione (Harry Potter)
8. Wash/Zoe (Firefly)
9. Fitz/Eight (Doctor Who)
10. Aaron/Mahandra (Wonderfalls)
11. Merton/Lori (Big Wolf on Campus)
12. Six/Peri (Doctor Who)
13. Rodney/Radek (Stargate Atlantis) Yes, I know it makes no sense.
14. Sam/Annie (Life on Mars)
15. Ford Prefect/towels (Hitchhiker's...yeah, I'm kidding with this one)

Ah, bastards and crazies! How promising. But do tell me what ya think.

In other news, I finished two of my finals today, and got my research paper back. I got an 89 out of a hundred. One point shy of an A! Maybe she's not capable of giving me an A - I've gotten Bs all semester. :P

I tried to do this and failed. I can't think of 15 parings! I had a handful, but then I started dipping into weird crossover territory like... Avon/Turlough. RPing has warped my mind forever. Maybe I'll try to attempt this again.

I think trust is a big thing with a lot of your parings, or how the persons admire and look up to one another, in whatever strange way that they do.

I had a hard time thinking of pairs that I actually ship more than others. And some characters that I really like I don't take an active interest in shipping with one particular character (i.e. Owen or Turlough).

And now that you point it out, I suppose trust could be part of it. Admiration...maybe. :)

1. Wheee!
2. Why not Daisy/Mason? ;)
13. How does Rodney/Radek not make sense? I don't ship it myself, but I've seen plenty of shippers around.

[cosmic-celery.livejournal.com]

2. Because daisy annoys me. Hee. Also because George is pretty much me...she's the closest a TV character will probably ever get, anyway.

13. In many ways. least of all their absolute lack of interest in each other. But there are other shippers? I'm not really in SGA fandom so I wouldn't know.

[dragonessa24.livejournal.com]

Aaah, that makes sense. I wouldn't mind shipping myself with Mason either. But I thought Six was you. :P

I'm not really in SGA fandom either, but I used to lurk enough to get the gist of things. Rodney/Radek isn't a main ship like Rodney/John or John/Weir, but it's not a totally out there crack ship either. They definitely like and respect each other, so I guess there's enough of a basis for shipping them.

Icon! <3

There are similarities with me an Six, and I like acting like him, but I'm not nearly as bombastic. And he's not a young woman who lives with his mother. Ha. Also, I don't like chocolate!

Watching Dead Like Me is slightly scary because of the similarities between her and me. If I get that job tomorrow, I know I'll be slightly paranoid about getting hit with a space toilet for the rest of the week.

I think a lot of my ships have some sort of power struggle. An "i'll show you!" sort of thing. That works for Rodney and Radek.

(This is the THIRD time I have had to type this, blasted LJ!)

You too! <3 It's beautiful. Does it have a special message or were you just going for prettiness?

Blasphemy! Who doesn't like chocolate? But yeah, it would be difficult to find anyone quite like Six in real life.

I'm not a lot like George (way too optimistic, for one) but there's still a lot in the show that rings true with me (like her problems with her mother), which is one reason why I love it and should watch it again some time.

Don't go out on lunch breaks and keep an eye on the sky! (On that note, good luck with the interview again!)

There's also a lot of snarkiness in most of your ships I know.

And while we're talking - I totally wanna play more with Evelyn, but I have no idea what to do with her besides baking cakes. :/ Her and Six need to go on some adventure or something, I dunno.

[cosmic-celery.livejournal.com]

No special message as such, I thought that the image worked really exceedingly well for Six. I don't let people snag it, because I stole the non-six bits from some professional artist's site and now I can't remember where I found it. I wish I could though, because I'd like a print of it for my wall!

I think I require a bit of snark or I get bored. The more snark the better, really.

As for Evelyn and Six...feel free to make a thread! I haven't got any ideas at the moment, but I'm sure she could pester him to take her somewhere.

Thanks for the good wishes!

Oh, I found the original art that I used for this icon!

[dragonessa24.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's great! That's a fascinating picture. On the icon I couldn't tell that it was supposed to be a radio telescope with the flower for the dish. I agree that it works well for Six.
