meme meme meme
There is this meme where you go around posting your otps and see what it says about you as the person! 10 otps. My standard for this was 'what will make me read a fic just from seeing the pairing/what do I like to write best'



1. Batman/Commissioner Gordon Batman comics when Batman isn't being a dickass
2. Garak/Julian Bashir Deep Space Nine, Star Trek
3. Legolas/Gimli Lord of the Rings
4. Snape/Dumbledore Harry Potter
5. Xena/Gabrielle Xena, Warrior Princess
6. Gambit/Wolverine Some combination of the comics and cartoon canon that exists in my mind ever since I rejected what marvel comics was doing and went into a deep denial. Not about them, just their general 'what the fuck? Why are you writing this? WHY DID YOU BLOW UP EVERY CHARACTER I LIKED'
7. Kit Fisto/Aayla Secura Star Wars, they're the jedi in my icon (lj only). I'd link you to some comic scans about them, but scans_daily got its ass tos'd.
8. Sherlock/Watson Sherlock Holmes. I wonder what the new movie will be like!
9. Jeeves/Wooster Jeeves and Wooster, because I like classics
10. Worf/Jadzia Dax Deep Space Nine, Star Trek


bonus: Gambit/Rogue from the X-Men cartoon was bebeh John's first otp. It later changed to Gambit/Iceman. Oh, the vicious flamewars I nearly had.


Making this list was a little odd, because while a lot of my favourite characters are women, and I do tend to like canon pairings, for my fic reading it seems I'm a lot more likely to go after romantic fic if it's m/m slash.

Hina says I like power couples, pointing out a lot of these people are strong or powerful in different ways.

Power couples are more interesting. You get two timid people they just mutter to each other. Of course there are always exceptions.

Ah, but sometimes it is the ordinary people who can become the most interesting because you don't expect too much from them! :D

But yes, I do think just about every one of those pairings has at least one powerful person. It translates to his roleplaying, too, although he tends to have the less powerful partner in our pairings for the most part.

Ordinary people are quite good too actually. Perhaps I spoke too hastily.

If by Gambit/Wolverine you mean Gambit/Wolverine as portrayed by Taylor Kitsch and Hugh Jackman I am IN! :D

Why yes, I watch the X-men movies solely for the eye candy. Unashamedly.

You know, I don't visualize that well (that's why I usually have a picture up in a tab of the character I'm playing at any given moment) so it's actually more personality stuff. Oh my god that sounds snobby but it's just because I can't see any damn bodies or faces, so that's all I can go by. Which uh, means cartoon and comics.

Although he was pretty damn funny in the movie.

I'm not sure I have OTPs, really. I have pairings I favor more than others, but in the right mood I don't have a problem exploring outside the favored ones.

Although once I have a favorite pairing or two in a fandom, I sometimes have a hard time reading fic that has the characters paired off with other people. I supposed that's close to an OTP? I dunno.

That's pretty much the definition I used here. I don't even mind seeing them with other people, but if it's this pairing I am like 10x more likely to read the fic.

It's pretty fun. I did it wrong, though. There's a lot of other people doing 15 pairings.

My brain disapproves of non-canon slash fics, so I shall express my enthusiasm for all the things that my brain didn't translate into static:

Worf/Jadzia!

Gambit/Rogue!

...and Xena/Gabrielle! XD
