pairing meme!!
Well, missi_marie commented on the fandom meme saying that it would be much easier if she could pick favorite pairings instead of characters. This prompted me to hunt up a pairing meme!! So here it is!
Pairings I Like:
1. John/Cameron (TSCC)
2. Amon/Robin (WHR)
3. Derek/Sarah (TSCC)
4. Sirius/Lily (HP)
5. James/Lily (HP)
6. Amon/Kate (WHR)
Three Ships I've Abandoned:
7. Alec/Max (Dark Angel)
8. Richard/Anita (Anita Blake)
9. Edward/Bella (Twilight)
Three Ships I've Never Liked:
10. Harry/Draco (HP)
11. John/Riley (TSCC)
12. Jayne/River (Firefly)
Two Ships that have Piqued my Interest:
13. Simon/River (Firefly - not romantic)
14. Matt/Mello (DN)
The questions:
#1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
Because Riley is Slut Whore the Blonde Hussy who is way too forward, clueless and is no good for John. She’s going to screw up one day and get the boy injured out of ignorance. She’s also has rather strange vocabulary and lets her boobs hang out *waaaay* too much.
#2. Who do you know that ships #13?
Um…I don’t know. Lizzie and Missi both like Firefly but I don’t know if they like Simon/River stories.
#3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
Hm…I have a good comfort scene planned out for my newest fic, Three Bullet Holes, lol. Aside from that…something with witty dialogue and guns.
#4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
From the show - the I Love You scene with Cam trapped between the trucks. I’ve seen it 10+ times and it STILL makes me cry. From fanfiction - anything with angst and comfort and cuddling. Especially half naked cuddling.
#5. How long have you been following couple #6?
Hm…I don’t really *follow* them. It’s more like I like to bring them up in fics, and I like when Lizzie brings them up in fics. And I’m still waiting for Exit Stage Left from Lizzie, which is going to be so amazingly awesometastical.
#6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
*sigh* Well, first the idiotic author originally planned Richard after her husband…so when they divorced Richard’s character exploded into this horrid, unrecognizable bastard. I mean, he’d always had his moments but it just went over the top. And Anita turned into Super Slut the Uber Mary Sue. The whole fandom went up in flames for me, but that pairing especially.
#7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
*gasp!* Amon/Robin vs. Sirius/Lily *quivers* Oh….oh….O_O I cannot possibly choose! Both are magical and full of angst and gorgeous character development and endless plots. I choose both!
#8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
12 - Jayne/River, simply because I have friends that ship Harry/Draco and I wouldn’t want to take that away from them!
#9. What interests you about #14?
Lizzie and Emma write this pairing so well! I’m intrigued by the dynamic of it and by the way they relate to each other.
#10. When did you stop liking #7?
I’ve never really stopped liking it, I just sort of lost interest in it.
#11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
Hm…that’s like the chicken egg question. I think they went together - Breaking Dawn just destroyed everything for me.
#12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
A song that reminds me of James/Lily…that’s easy! Run by Snow Patrol.
#13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
*gasp* I suppose since TSCC has devoured my attention right now I would have to say John/Cam.
#14. Which do you dislike the most?
Harry/Draco. It’s just WRONG. They are enemies. There is no secret desire. There is no secret love. There is no secret lust. They HATE EACH OTHER. They will never love each other or marry each other and Harry will never ever ever dump Ginny for Draco. No. No. No.
#15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Oo this could be hilarious. John/Cameron double dating with Derek/Sarah could be funny because it would spark many a lecture. Sirius/Lily and James/Cameron would be funny too.
#16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
Not in the show or in my fanfic. However they did that and more in one of Missi’s drabbles and it was so fantastically good!
#17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
Sirius/Lily isn’t canon. And there is no happy ending for the HP Marauder era, so even if it was canon it wouldn’t be likely.
#18. What would make you start shipping #14?
Hm…perhaps actually gaining an interest in the show? I watched one episode and it wasn’t too great. Though I’ll still read for that pairing when Lizzie and sometimes Emma post something about it.
#19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
Oh that’s easy! Amon/Robin vs Amon/Kate? Amon/Robin all the way!
#20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
Draco explodes in fiery doom and Harry lives happily with Ginny like he should!
