memeage

I've done the canon and fanon paring meme (from [livejournal.com profile] niannah). When I do memes like this, I realise just how OTP oriented I am. There aren't many pairings that I love (and usually that means read fic for it) and conversely, there aren't many that I hate, and the ones that I do are usually ones that mess with my OTP! Anything else, I don't really have much of an opinion on. I've included all the fandoms that I've ever read more than one or two fics in. I could include stuff like Lost and Battlestar Galactica, but I don't really have any preferences or read fic so there's no point.



Canon Pairings I Love
Stargate SG-1: Sam/Martouf (awwww, does this count as canon?)
Farscape: John/Aeryn
Smallville: none
Buffy: None that I really love
LotRiPS: Ha! None
Firefly: Zoe/Wash, Simon/Kaylee (yes, I'm a big sap), Jayne/Vera?
Harry Potter: Lily/James
Doctor Who (new): none
Stargate Atlantis: Are there any apart from John/random person?

Canon Pairings I Hate
Stargate SG-1: Jack/Sam (if you consider them canon - I prefer the ostrich approach!)
Farscape: Chiana/Jothee
Smallville: Clark/Lana (omg so much hate)
Buffy: Willow/Kennedy (*stabs eyes out*)
LotRiPS: none. why have I even put this here!
Firefly: none
Harry Potter: Remus/Tonks (I try to forget the end of that book exists)
Doctor Who (new): none
Stargate Atlantis: none

Fanon Pairings I Love
Stargate SG-1: Jack/Daniel (first OTP!)
Farscape: none
Smallville: Clark/Lex
Buffy: Warren/Andrew (or should this be canon?), Xander/Andrew (apologies to those who this upsets!)
LotRiPS: Billy/Dom
Firefly: I really quite like Mal/Simon but haven't really read it much.
Harry Potter: Sirius/Remus (canon!), Remus/Hermione (I'm sorry)
Doctor Who (new): Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose, Nine/Captain Jack
Stargate Atlantis: McKay/Sheppard (so much love!), Teyla/Ronon

Fanon Pairings I Hate
Stargate SG-1: Jack/Sam! Denial is good for the soul.
Farscape: none. Or rather, anything involving Scorpius!
Smallville: Lex/Lana
Buffy: none that I feel passionate about
LotRiPS: Sean/Elijah
Firefly: Mal/River, Simon/River
Harry Potter: Snape/Lupin, Harry/Snape. In fact, anything involving Snape. Blackcest.
Doctor Who (new): none
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/Weir

Pairings I Think Are Interesting For Various Reasons But Not Enough To Love Or Hate
Stargate SG-1: none
Farscape: Chiana/Jool, John/Crais (Farscape is not something that inspires me to ship anything apart from John/Aeryn)
Smallville: none. Just give me Clex!
BTVS & Angel: Willow/Oz, Buffy/Angel, Wesley/Lilah, Angel/Lindsey, Spike/Angel (I seem to like quite a lot of Buffy ships, but not enough to be very bothered).
LotRiPS: Dom/Elijah (never really reeled me in but I'm not averse to it)
Firefly: Mal/Inara (could be interesting but never really bought it)
Harry Potter: I don't hate Harry/Draco but I just don't get it.
Doctor Who (new): none
Stargate Atlantis: Carson/Rodney (I saw this in the pilot episode but Rodney/Sheppard ate my brain), Sheppard/Ronon (it's hot, but it doesn't have enough astrophysicists involved!)

ETA: OMG. It's April tomorrow. It'll be 2007 before I know it!

Yay Remus/Hermione! It's a shame there is so little fic for it, and even less which is actually good :(

[identity profile] mellafe.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Harry/Draco is just about sex. It's hot and that's about it. :P

I can't do this one because I only know HP, haha.

I can't believe I forgot Smallville in mine! Dammit.

I really wish the Stargate teams for both SG-1 and Atlantis could handle writing relationships the way the Farscape team did. Two adults for whom getting together isn't the end of the story, but a point in the middle of a far longer and wider story that needn't be cut off from the rest of the plotlines and arcs. That way we might see more than hints now and then for the main team. Of course, it would never be John/Rodney or Jack/Daniel, but Ronon/Teyla would be nice!

That's what I was thinking about today at work, lol.

I know. Most of it's badly written Hermione-Sue and that upsets me.

[identity profile] odycee.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh! That's a valid enough reason! I suppose I just don't see Draco or Harry as being hot though so it doesn't really do it for me.

I've been through quite a few online fandoms as you can see! I'm a bit of a fannish butterfly!

[identity profile] mellafe.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't think Harry is hot AT ALL, haha. Poor kid. The same goes for Malfoy. But it all depends on how people write them, right? I've found talented people in that area. :D

I just don't watch any of those shows, I watch others. Hee. But I love it that you hate Tonks/Remus, because ACK. We like the same pairs!! :D

[identity profile] odycee.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You missed the chance to hate on the Clark/Lana!

I suppose that with Stargate, in both incarnations, the stories are about their working life, so romance has to be kept to the sidelines and not treated as a plot point (apart from when Jack or John are doing the Kirk routine of course). That, and the fact Stargate writers are mostly crappy in comparison to Farscape!

Thats infinitely more interesting than wondering why the fax machine isn't working I'll bet!

You know what? I'm going to do this and post it in my userinfo. It's like a 'this is what I like, don't friend me if you don't!' sorta thing. :D

Snape/Lupin, Harry/Snape. In fact, anything involving Snape. Blackcest.
OH GOD, IT IS NOT JUST ME *all caps abuse like, whoa*

I am firmly of the opinion that Snape should never have sex ever. Ever. EW.

[identity profile] odycee.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a cool idea actually! My userinfo is very boring.

[identity profile] odycee.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
There are at least two of us!!

I am firmly of the opinion that Snape should never have sex ever.

A million times yes. And especially not with Remus. The mere thought leaves me feeling slightly soiled.

[identity profile] mellafe.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, mine was kinda bleh. It looks better now. I added 'things i love in fic' and 'things i hate in fic' of course. :)

[identity profile] mellafe.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
me three. It's just EWWWWWWW.

[identity profile] odycee.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I like it! Especially: "Remus/Sirius (it's canon)". Hee! It so is.

[identity profile] mellafe.livejournal.com 2006-03-31 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, damnit! I was thinking I could make graphics and such for the userinfo, make it look pretty and tidy and stuff, but I'm lazy. Haha. :P

You should read some more Mal/Simon. (This is in no way just me attempting to whore out my fic some more, oh no. Certainly not.)

I was looking at your Farscape ships and realised I have no idea who half the people are :D (I never watched before and have been renting it recently. I'm just getting towards the end of season 1. I'm liking it muchly!)

Word!

Maybe I'll have to!

Farscape is so, so good. I love that you and [livejournal.com profile] niannah have just started watching it!

[identity profile] odycee.livejournal.com 2006-04-02 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Kennedy was a travesty. First they killed Tara with that magic bullet and then they bring in Kennedy! Aaaargh.

[identity profile] naughtyelf.livejournal.com 2006-04-02 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It all started when they announced Gigi Edgely as the MC for Cubed. I decided I should probably have seen Farscape so I knew who she was, and then five happened to show the Peacekeepers Wars like two days after I'd decided this! So I watched that, and it was good, but I had not a clue what was going on. So I got myself a 30 day free trial at screenselect and I should have the last disc of S1 and the first disc of S2 waiting for me when I get back to Sunderland on Wednesday :D

If you feel the urge to read some.... *points at her memories*
