lls_mutantI'm bored and procrastinating writing my review of Razor, so, as gakked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
such_heights:
Six ships you're into right now
1. Remus/Sirius (Harry Potter)
2. Baltar/Gaeta (Battlestar Galactica)
3. Adama/Roslin (Battlestar Galactica)
4. Claire/Charlie (LOST)
5. Zoe/Wash (Firefly)
6. Jed/Abby (West Wing)
Three ships you liked, but don’t like anymore
7. Kaylee/Simon (Firefly)
8. Dumbledore/McGonagall (Harry Potter)
9. Harry/Ginny (Harry Potter)
Four ships you never liked
10. Remus/Tonks (Harry Potter)
11. Kara/Lee (Battlestar Galactica)
12. Jack/Kate (LOST)
13. Harry/Draco (Harry Potter)
Two ships you're curious about, but don’t actually ship
14. Willow/Tara (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
15. Penelope/Desmond (LOST)
Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Kara/Lee)
Because Lee is boring, and Kara is much more fun when she's not angsting and emoing. Lee is very Luke Skywalker, and the sooner he accepts it and gets Jedi powers, the better. I love Season 1 Starbuck best, and by Season 4 she just really annoyed me. (And let's not even go into Starbuck/Leoben, which I really, really hate.) Plus, I like Starbuck and Apollo as friends, riffing off each other and saving each other's asses. I don't think they have good lover chemistry, and if Starbuck had half a brain she'd stay with Anders, because he stands by her and is obviously a better match for her. Anders is a good guy sweetie- even if he is a Cylon.
Who is someone you know that ships #14? (Willow/Tara)
Most of my f-list that likes Buffy?
What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (Adama/Roslin)
Well, I was pretty darn happy with "I love you"/"About time". But my ideal scenario is they get married and live happily ever after and have grandkids together and build that cabin. But this is Battlestar Galactica- it ain't gonna happen.
Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? (Remus/Sirius)
The initial hug of forgiveness. In no way do I take that as shippy, but it is a beautiful, amazing gesture and that scene was some of JKR's best writing ever.
How long have you been following couple #6? (Jed/Abby)
How long have I been watching West Wing?
What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Dumbledore/McGonagall)
I was never that into it, but I like Dumbledore/Grindelwald much better.
You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (Remus/Tonks or Jack/Kate)
Jack/Kate. Remus/Tonks are a small part of the HP books and if I don't like a pairing in fanfic, I don't bother to read it. Jack/Kate is a big part of LOST and they both annoy me to no end.
Which ship do you prefer #2 or #4?. (Baltar/Gaeta or Charlie/Claire)
From a fanfic POV, Baltar/Gaeta, no question. There are more unanswered questions. From which one was actually the nicer relationship, Charlie/Claire. Again, no question.
What interests you about #15? (Penny/Desmond)
It's really sweet, and I like loves that can stand the test of time like that.
Why did you stop liking #7? (Kaylee/Simon)
Like the relationship, I just don't think it was ever going to last. Kaylee and Simon were cute and fun, but there was never True Love there and that's fine.
Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Harry/Ginny)
Nope. I really liked H/G and just thought it was boringly resolved. I don't remotely hate it- I just think it ended up kind of boring where there could have been more potential.
What’s a song that reminds you of #5? (Zoe/Wash)
I don't know, to be honest. But probably something happy and about sex.
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
Jack/Kate and Kara/Lee, because maybe someone would get fed up and shoot someone else, and we'd be rid of Jack forever. Or, for something a little nicer, Abby/Jed and Adama/Roslin. Because you know that would be hysterical.
Have #2 kissed yet? (Baltar/Gaeta)
Depends on who you ask, doesn't it? I'd say it's plausible, but I wouldn't say yes for sure.
Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Charlie/Claire)
Well, no in that Charlie DIES (thanks, LOST). But at least he got redemption before he did.
What would make you start shipping #14? (Willow/Tara)
Nothing, really. The good writers already write it and I don't get into it, so...
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? (Baltar/Gaeta or Abby/Jed)
Pfft. Abby/Jed, duh. BSG works fine if Gaeta never had romantic feelings for Baltar. And besides, it's an unrequited ship anyway, and requited ain't gonna happen and shouldn't happen. But you don't take Jed away from Abby- or vice versa.
You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Remus/Tonks)
They never hook up. Remus gets tenure at Hogwarts, and Tonks kicks butt at the Ministry and eventually becomes Head of the Auror department and gets together with Charlie Weasley.
Which do you dislike the most?
Jack/Kate, because it's canon and the characters annoy me both together and individually. (Kara is awesome when she's not around Leoben and even Lee has his moments. Remus and Tonks are a tiny portion of canon. And Harry/Draco aren't canon at all and can be avoided like the plague.)
Which of these ships do you love the most?
Adama/Roslin, baby. Mature, well-thought out, amazing actor chemistry, imperfect but a great fit, history... they've got it all.

OK..So...I am now officially The only person who loves this ship, but I would have been perfectly OK whith your scenario, too. Remus as a tenured Professor. Let the Schoolgirl Fantasies Run Rampant!

Date: 2008-09-22 09:40 pm (UTC)WORD on Kara/Lee, Jack/Kate and Lupin/Tonks. Never liked em. For the same reasons you put forward. Same opinions on Kara and Lee individually too. Though I must confess I do like Kara/Leoben (hey, I'm an art student. I couldn't resist the paint sex!) But mostly I prefer sassy S1 Kara too, who just got her kicks and then went out to frak up some toasters.
Hmn. I'd probably put Kaylee/Simon and Harry/Ginny down as ships I never liked. I'm not a hater, I just found both ships a very MEH. I do love Zoe/Wash though. Well, Zoe in general. Move over Kara Thrace, I got a new girl crush!
I'd probably put Charlie/Claire and Desmond/Penelope down as ships I liked, but don't like anymore. Because they are LOST ships and LOST ruins everything and I hate its guts (not that I'm bitter at all). I wrote these two pairing rather a lot so I'm sad the writers have drained all the soul and complexity out of them, to concentrated their efforts instead on the most irritating love triangle known to television.
Roslin/Adama are the BEST. I love that they manage to be sweet, romantic and bad mother-frakkers at the same time.

Date: 2008-09-24 05:45 pm (UTC)It's funny- a lot of my reasons for not liking Lupin/Tonks are just stronger variations on why I'm not thrilled about the idea of Gaeta/Dee. There's definitely some similarities there....
Well, Zoe in general. Move over Kara Thrace, I got a new girl crush!
One day I want to write a Firefly/BSG crossover. These two would need to meet :)
Yeah, I was TICKED when they killed Charlie, because Jack/Kate/Sawyer is... ARGH. Oh, and don't forget Juliet. I'll take the Dee/Sam/Lee/Kara quadrangle over the losties any day of the week, and I hate the quadrangle of doom. (you know, it would never happen and it would be highly unhealthy, but Dee should just make off with Sam. He's such a sweetie.)
Roslin/Adama are the BEST. I love that they manage to be sweet, romantic and bad mother-frakkers at the same time.
They ARE! I don't write them because I'm happy with them on the show- I want canon, damn it, and I shall have canon! But they are my favorite pairing ever at this point.

Date: 2008-09-29 04:41 pm (UTC)And now a kind of random question: do you plan on finishing Accidentally in Love? It's one of my favorite fics, but from the looks of your recent LJ posts, it seems like you've abandoned it. I was just wondering if it had been abandoned, or if I should hold out hope on another update (soon?).

Date: 2008-10-01 12:34 pm (UTC)I'd like to finish AIL, and I think there's probably only 2-3 chapters left. But I've kind of fallen out of it... I don't know. It's lower on my priority list these days, unfortunately. So, maybe slim hope?
