Yep. I added it to my personal canon.

Question - is this a meme or just something you started? If it's the latter, can I do something like this on my own LJ?

But you can't avoid slash, even Czech fandom was filled with it,

What's Czech fandom? Are you referring to Czech-based Harry Potter sites?

And I mentioned Hermione/Ron was my very first Harry Potter ship. Of course they're on this list as well.

Ahh, a fellow Good Ship Survivor! ;) Yeah, I liked Ron/Hermione, and I still really do. I was never a huge shipper (except by association due to a certain website I frequented), but I do love them together. Though I didn't like their snog in the seventh book - I just... don't like "let's make out mid-battle" tropes. I'm cynical, I guess. :P

1. Song for Ten by Murray Gold (performed by Neil Hannon)

Oh, I like it. Incidentally I recently finished the second Doctor Who series, which makes the song sadder for me, since the cover is Rose and The Doctor. I'm into the third now, though I've already seen the last three episodes of series three, which I wish I hadn't done ( ... )

These are Top 5's asked by my flisters in this meme, which you're free to snag and maybe ask me something along the way, hee.

Yep. I'm from the Czech Republic, and when I was fourteen, I couldn't speak English well enough to participate on English-speaking forums, so I stayed local among Czech and Slovak fans on Czech websites.

Incidentally I recently finished the second Doctor Who series, which makes the song sadder for me, since the cover is Rose and The Doctor. I'm into the third now, though I've already seen the last three episodes of series three, which I wish I hadn't done because I've been spoiled for Martha's character development... oh well.

Yeah, I know. The saddest song ever for Rose/Ten, though, is Doomsday. Gah! I'm just in the midst of the last three eps of series 3. I'm sorry you've been spoiled!

Eh, it's okay, the last three eps were amazing so it was worth it - but Martha there and Martha in the beginning are a bit different and I guess I just wish I'd been able to enjoy the transition. Oh well, I still have Donna and Amy Pond. :)

Yeah. I especially can't wait to see Donna and River Song when everyone loves them so much. :)

Remus/Sirius

Can I just? When I read HP, I had no idea there was such a thing as a fandom of anything. I found fannishness as a phenomenon by accident as I was trying to find other people's thoughts (meta and stuff) on HP. And I honestly didn't realize there was a non-R/S reading of canon until that point. I was just like, "oh, Harry has gay uncles, cool." Because the way it's handled in the books is how it's handled IRL, at least IME. Nobody says "they like the boysex, your big gay uncles, they do!" It's just, Uncle A and Uncle B live together, and you get one present from both of them, and they show up and leave together at parties like every other couple and it's NBD. R/S just go together and they are my favorite couple and they love each other forever.

And also, WOOOOORRRRRD on Nina Simone.

Ooh, thank you for sharing, because THIS IS AWESOME. I did need a fandom to realize their love is so canon (I blame my youth), but I absolutely agree with your take on it.

HP ships ( ... )

1. Yay! :)
2. Yep, agreed.
4. I can imagine some people might find it slightly... obscure? :D But it seems to me like the HP fandom ships everyone with everyone and in that context I feel very normal with my Tonks/Ginny. *g*

Oh, I don't doubt for a second that every ship can be found in the fandom xD
