Here's a (late) meme:

Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply you with the relationships -canon or not - from it I ship. I'll give favorite romantic relationships as well as favorite platonic ones. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something.

Tamaki/Haruhi with an element of Kyouya/Tamaki, I think? Dunno, I'm pretty happy with the anime relationship set portrayal as is but if I wrote fic it would probably be something along those lines.

Vagrant Story!

Ashley/Sydney all the way... except for how it's not, ah, actually possible, and from a position of aesthetic rigor I've always felt that too much fangirl energy was expended on thinking up ways to circumvent Occam's Razor and not enough on descriptions of Valendian politics. Then again, of such primary conflict between logic and demand for pr0n was yaoi doujinshi born, so.

...Fushigi Yuugi.

Huh. XD As I remember it I didn't ship, actually, I read pretty much everything (but those were also the days where pretty much everything was all you got, so to speak). I wrote a Hotohori/Nuriko that said pretty much what I wanted to say in a serious fashion, and then the other fic was much more like the sort of thing I was reading. XD;; Probably my favorite character was Hotohori so I would just read fics involving him. XD;

GB (the ones other than Gin/Ban)


alsooo #4 here (http://marej.livejournal.com/423045.html) is The Tremor of Forgery.

(doing these so not in order)

Juubei/Kazuki/Toshiki
Shido/Madoka (which by Charmian's def is not so much a ship, more like "it's canon and cute")
Sakura/Makubex
Emishi/Amon

Total middle-of-bell-curve with GB, it's comforting. XD Also kind of dabble in Toshiki/Ren (have yet to figure out why this is a kink button), Clayman/Himiko (I just find Clayman hot), GB 1st gen, Yohan/Kazuki (no one will get it until I write up the summary), etc. etc. Srsly the art is so gleefully uninhibited it inspires pairings out the wazoo.

Prolly the most interesting one in the list (in that I actually have something left to say about it) is the Fuuga axis... I've got to finish that fic now that the backstory is pretty much complete. =_=

Re: Tremor of Forgery - yes, I saw, and no, I'm not sure where the mystery was either. XD;;; It's not so much ghei=evil at that, more... to do with mutability of identity? But in the end I don't know what it all meeeans, which makes two of us.

Bleach!

I talked about this with lacewood and aefallen, actually (they asked me - I think I tend to be not very clear on LJ about these things =_=). When I said I flopped between IchiRuki and RenRuki they told me to ship OT3. Then I complained about fics in which Byakuya was seme to Renji, like IN WHAT UNIVERSE SRSLY.

I would totally be into Renji/Byakuya if more than two people on the planet wrote it well (I counted).

Then I'm into Gin/Rangiku and Aizen/Gin (it's the same ficverse in my head, I've worked the details out), Urahara/Yoruichi and Yoruichi/Soi Fong (what is not to like), Ikkaku/Yumichika (as tsutanai once put it it's really about the Champlooesque hijinks). I'm probably leaving something out. But rest assured it's a non-surprising pairing everyone ships. XD

12K full disclosure!

[petronia.livejournal.com]

It's pretty much ruler/kirin by default, because I'm into that sort of thing. XD But as for the actual construction of the relationships beyond what's shown in the anime... I really don't feel like I know the fandom well enough, still, for purposes of writing anything more ambitious than "Rakushun composes vignette postcards ripped off from actual ancient Chinese writings" (say). I scanned the books in the S'pore Kino and thought "man, this is serious fantasy without the deconstructed weird", which I don't go for much these days, but nothing about her style throws me off so I might give it a shot.

Of course it still might end up vignette postcards. >_>

TRC.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

KuroFye + anything that was canon in some other CLAMPverse. XD KuroTomo is good too, I'm boring like that.

I'd write KuroFye in a second if I could figure out what I want to say about it but I'm only good for reading other people's.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

Can I get another one? Prince of Tennis.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

*thinksss* It should all be in memories somewhere but I'm so lazy. XD

Actually, insofar as canon goes I like MomoRyo and TezuAto better than TezuFuji. XD But I'm too lazy to write TezuAto because I'd have to make up a whole other ficverse, when Fuji is the one I have all the ideas for. Of course it's the Fuji-and-Yuuta relationship above all else. I also love InuKai and Data Pair but have never tried to write, I think because I'm afraid if I got into Inui's head I wouldn't come out. XD;

Then there's the Oshitari fic, where for the life of me I couldn't decide if it was really OshiAto or OshiGaku (I find OshiAto problematic because it's even more extrapolated than TezuFuji, and at the time I was reading, like, AtoJi?). For Rikkai it's D1 and SanaYuki, the former I've written and think most people get right, the latter I've not written and think most people get wrong.

I'm not a terribly strong OTPer, it's mix and match mostly. XD;

guess lol >3

GEE I DUNNO ALEX, I'LL GO WITH JOJO FOR 200$

Gyro/Johnny! How do you not. XD The whole Dio and Pucci thing only that is not so much a ship as a basis for brain-damaging fic ideas. Jolyne and Daddy WHICH I WILL WRITE EVENTUALLY. Giorno/Mista and Bruno/Trish but the Giorno-Bruno relationship as the keystone of the canon proper. Jotaro and Josuke which is not so much a ship either but I love to see them interact. Kira and his not!wife (Hollywood should make a film on the premise). JOSEPH/CAESAR ohshi there's a part 2 fic I've yet to write and have left off the list.

This series contains too many characters. =_=

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Well, I see 7 couples here, and even if they aren't evenly distributed over the 7 series, I don't think that's excessive!

You will be writing JolyneDaddy fic REALLY. :OOOOOOOOOOOO

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

... i can't count. orz

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Well, I stopped naming pairings after a while because it was getting into "Well and [insert] is cute too lol" territory. XD I guess this is just the list of what I've written and/or likely to write in the future? Apart from Kira, I'm not sure what I'd say in that case. XD

Oh yeah, and Steven/Lucy. LOLI A++

I have to finish this excessively long part 5 story and then I can work on the others at my leisure. orz

KyoKaraMaoh??
And are you back yet? The Black Pearl party!!!!

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I'm not far enough into KKM to ship! (We should get together and watch it, only not this week because I'd just fall asleep AGAIN. =_=)
