Shipping meme!
Stolen from author_by_night. ^_^
1. Talk about the first ship you ever had.
Wow, that's been a while. I remember, though: it was Zack/Kelly from Saved by the Bell. I loved that show and I loved both of them but that was sooo long ago (I must have been like 12 when I watched that)! A few years ago I found an old episode on TV and I couldn't stand it for more than a minute (lol), I thought they were sooo typically popular and kind of an ass too (at least Zack)!
2. Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life.
- Brian/Justin (from Queer as Folk). They taught me a lot about love, freedom and different ways of living and seeing the world; through them I also found a cute little website where I spent a lot of time that year and had very interesting conversations with cool people about life, the universe and everything!
- Cain/Gina (Battlestar Galactica). It wasn't my first ship from the show, but it was the one that stuck. It was important for me because BSG was the series that got me hard into LJ and made me live in communities and find new awesome friends and live a bunch of new experiences (cons, fanart and fanfiction, celebrity hunting).
I don't think there's a third.
3. What’s your current OTP?
I'm just starting to watch something for the first time in 3 months, so I can't answer this today. (The show is BoJack Horseman and I can't ship anyone there: it's kind of weird.)
4. What’s your current NOTP?
The same.
5. Do you have any poly ships?
None that I can think of.
6. How do you feel about love triangles?
Great! They make great fanfiction!
7. How do you feel about RPF?
I've got mixed feelings. I've written RPF (once) but I feel kind of guilty for using other people's lives for fulfilling my fantasies (in a public way were all of you can read what I think could happen between a gay actress and an actress who's not said she's 100% het that I know of).
8. Have you ever shipped yourself with a character?
Yes. I even had a friend wrote a fic about it. LOL (Of course it was about Cain -but just for one night, though. I'm not crazy! Haha.)
9. Do you have many ships that never got together at all?
TONS! I usually like the this-can-never-happen ship. And I also like to mix characters on my mind!
1 0. Do you ship any characters that have never met?
Sure! The sky is the limit.
11. Talk about your favorite first kiss.
Huh... Maybe Shane/Cherie (The L Word). It was pretty hot if I remember it correctly, and those two broke my heart.
12. Have you ever been disappointed when your ship finally got together?
Yes, absolutely: it happened on Friends with the greatest love interest of Joey (I'm trying not to give away any spoilers in here) and it was so badly done!
13 . Has a ship ever broken your heart?
As I said before, Shane and Cherie broke it to pieces.
14. How do you feel about will they/won’t they?
I like it if it's well done.
15. Have you ever “shipped at first sight”?
Mmm... Yes, I'm sure a bunch of times. I ship femslash pairings even before I've seen them together easily.
16. Talk about a ship you initially disliked.
Arrow spoilers: The first time we hear about Oliver/Sarah I didn't like the idea of them together but it was just because I didn't know the whole story and it seemed one of treason at the time.
17. Talk about a pairing you’ve stopped shipping romantically.
I don't think I have had an OTP who I lost total interest in.
18. Talk about a moment which made you question an entire ship.
The last thing we know of the Kara/Lee (Battlestar Galactica) story (the first one that happened to them).
19. Have you ever shipped something despite yourself?
I don't remember. Gosh! I'm way out of the fangirl life!
20. Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping.
Joey/Rachel. I don't think people are fair to them because they would be a great couple, but all of Friends is about the dammed Ross/Rachel story. And, yes, they are cute sometimes, but they are also a pain in the ass. And Joey and Rachel deserved a chance, a real chance!
21. Is there a ship you just don’t get, but have nothing against?
Penny/Leonard from The Big Bang Theory. But that's just because I don't like Leonard at all (and also they don't have any kind of chemistry).
22. Which of your ships have the best chemistry?
John/Aeryn (Farscape)
23. Which of your ships deserve better writing?
Joey/Rachel is the winner for this (I can't even). Kara/Lee could also have had a loooot of better writing on season 3.
24. Do you mostly ship canon pairings?
Nop.
25. Have you ever shipped a pairing before you even started watching the show/movie simply because of gifs and graphics or similar?
No.
26. Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to?
Couples who want to be together but life stands in the way.
27. Is there a ship you’ve shipped for most of your life?
I would have to remember my teen movies but I don't think so.
28. Does shipping come easily to you?
Yes, that's part of the fun of fiction.
29. Do you need to ship something to really enjoy a movie/book/tv show/comic?
No, but it helps when it's nicely done.
30. Name a couple of fandoms in which you have no ships.
BoJack Horseman. The Big Bang Theory.
31. Do you create fanmixes/gif sets/fanart/fic/fanvids and so on for you ships?
I used to do it some years ago.
32. Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP?
For Cain/Gina I have a favorite AU where that horrible thing that happens to Gina didn't happen.
33. Do you like and use ship names?
No, they're usually horrible.
34. Is there a fictional relationship you’d really want for yourself?
Sure: Castle and Beckett's sounds great!
45. If you could change one thing about your OTP, what would that be?
More happy and fluffy moments for everyone!
