This Dire Straits thing has got to stop

[petronia]

Because it's getting embarrassing. Plus I keep thinking of Arthur Dent and Fenchurch. ...I'd put some up for y'all but the Russian maniac I gacked all this off thought he'd be zomg smrt and rip his collection at 320kbps. MARK KNOPFLER + 320KBPS = HOUSTON, WE HAVE A BANDWIDTH PROBLEM

ayatsujik is making me do a pairing meme: List 20 of your current favorite fictional character pairings (het, slash, canon or otherwise) in no particular order and then tag five people to do the same.

...Which is funny because someone else on my flist just did it and it was 10 pairings. D:

So I thought I'd mix it up a little.

Your OT3 list terrifies me, but then I see GyouTai and am consoled. And I've been meaning to tell you I did like your Nobunaga/Ranmaru fic, you should write drunk more often.

Meanwhile Beru gets stuck doing this meme not once but twice. Serves her right for having two LJs.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked! (I'd venture to believe most people want me to write more drunk, or would if they knew it's the most reliable method I have for "upping the rating". However my liver fails to concur. XD)

I'd settle for once from Beru, I didn't see your post when I edited mine. XD

Ashley/Sydney, drrhghg.... *____*

Initial D OT3!!! Pitchforks? Is that some sort of code for "choirs of angels"?

...of course I only recognise half the pairings, so pitchforkability may be hiding somewhere in the unknowns.

...........what, no peacemaker? :P

[pere-chan.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the spam, I forgot to ps: do you mind if I nick your format? I like this.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. *g*

[pere-chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Done and done.

Gaah! This is what happens when I try to read after playing a superspeedster in City of Heroes for an hour. I was like, Dire Strait, pairings? Mark Knopfler + who??

I'll read more slowly in the future, to avoid the nasty speed bumps of the mind.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Mark Knopfler x retardedly long guitar solos = OTP! Theirloveissobasedontoomanynotes!

...Oh, come on, you walked into that one.

1. Ashley/Sydney</>

Heh, one of the few video game pairings that I like and read fanfics on. So few, so few fanfics on this pair.

5. [insert 4,082 Bleach pairings here]

LOL. Bleach and the ever growing list of pairings. *squints*

[absenceofmind.livejournal.com]

*whimpers*

[tongari.livejournal.com]

well, I support OT3 #1! ♥

I suspect no one's written it yet because writing Keisuke's grasp of / reaction to, you know, the situation, is going to be hell. :D

[ayatsujik.livejournal.com]

What pain? XD Not even for your OT3s; funnily enough I'd rather see ByakuRenRukia than plain ByakuyaRukia urgh. And to quote you, I'd actually run with your OT3s #1, 2, 4 and 8 from the neck up. Neck up. (In my book, you aren't an OTP unless you're with it *both* up and down from the neck, so. XD)

YES.
