Besides things where there AREN'T a possibility for it. Like, if you're a huge fan of Jeopardy. ![]() The only fandom I can really think of is Lord of the Rings. I'm not (or was) never into SOME things that much, where I don't ship people. Like, Harry Potter or something. I like that very, very casually. And even though I'm not really doing the whole RPS thing with my hockey players anymore, I DID at once. Hard core. LOL What about you? |

I was trying to think of something for this, but you probably brought up my biggest one. I love Lord of the Rings, read the books of course, and I've got all the extended versions. I've also probably watched every extra piece of behind-the-scenes footage they've ever released, and I followed it like mad, especially while the movies were coming out. But, two things. I never got into it like the people that go to conventions and stuff get into it. And the second thing is -- no ships. None. I mean, I like Aragorn and Arwen together. They're cool, but I just didn't give two shits about anything romantic in those books, honestly. Oh, well I guess Samwise and Rosie Cotton's marriage at the end was cute, too. But, no ships. No fanfic. Don't care. But I still love the books and movies. Oh, and DEFINITELY no RPS for that one. I dunno why but I just... can't. I think I've attempted to read like, maybe two of them and just... no. Not for me. |

YES. Exactly. I also thought that Eowin and Faramir's little thing was cute, along with everything else "canon" but I don't really care. LOL |

RPS was the first slash/gay I've ever shipped. So it never really felt weird to me. From BSB/Nsync/other celebrities close to them, and then I added hockey players. I used to read Gale/Randy, and I read one or two with Van and Jake. I don't know. I just can't anymore. LOL Not even with my old stuff. Now, still doesn't mean I can't get all "OMG, LOOK, TWO GUYS ARE TOUCHING! SO CUTE!"

Hm. You know, as much as I love Sam and Dean from SPN, I could never get into the shippy-ness of it all. Not saying I haven't read incestual FF before ( UM. WHAT? ), I just could never get into the hype of it all.Now for Jared and Jensen RPS......I tried. I really did. But nothing I read ever really grabbed me the way "J" does. I don't think I've ever read any RPS that grabs me the way "J" does to tell you the truth, except maybe Gale/Randy. But I'm not as crazy about those two as I am about "J". And I mean, I have no problem shipping the characters of other fandoms like Merlin/Arthur, Brian/Justin, Draco/Harry, Sirius/Remus, Aregon/Legolas, Wilma, Finchel, Juliet/Sawyer, etc-and reading FF about them- but I would never be able to read any RPS for any of the actors who portray them. I think I've just been ruined for all other potential RPS. And quite honestly, I have no problem with that.

Me neither. Nobody else. Now, I sometimes have a hard time with "J" but it's not cause I don't like it. It's effing wonderful. And hot. And all kinds of other good things. And all the regular "J" writers are also wonderful to ridiculous degrees. *pokes them cause I'm sure they know who they are* But, well. It's really hard to explain. So I'm not going to try. ![]() Oh, but I just thought of something else. LOVE LOVE LOVE H/D. I mean, my first major OTP, and still reading and loving it. Though not quite as much as I used to. But I CANNOTTTTT do Tom/Dan. CAN'T. DO. IT. I think I maybe started to read one, ONCE, and just. I stopped. I had to to. I'm sure the writer did a fabulous job and it always makes me feel bad, cause I know people work hard on the stuff they post, but ack. No no no. None of that for Sara. |

Maltby/Draper ![]() Care to share if you ship anyone else? I've read some way back when. I mean, I was like in high school and it was before I knew what a "fandom" was. ![]() I had a dream once where Maltby said he was gay.

Oh, I don't even know! I read some weird ones. Like Maltby/Fedorov (which was actually pretty good! LOL) and Dandenault/Shanahan along with Devereaux/Yzerman. It was usually some indapendent sites with like 4 or 5 authors on it. Never found anything larger. Couldn't read much though. Didn't have my own computer. |

So does that mean you won't read my Tom/Dan RPS that I started 4 years ago and never finished? ![]() GOOD. Cause it sucked balls. I love J2 LOOOOOOOVVVEE. And they have their own fandom basically. They're not even classified under SPN. They're just their own thing cause they're HUGE. And are practically canon. I've never seen a pairing so CANON without actually being canon. Does that make sense? haha. I've written two Jared/Jensen stories. And have got several friends who write for them. But with that being said, they never grabbed me the way "J" fic does as well. Like it's crazy. Cause J2 is more canon than they are. I mean, they work 15 hrs a day with each other and decided to move in and live together, they go to family holidays TOGETHER. When Jared broke up with his girlfriend of like 5 years, and had to go to a convention alone in Texas, Jensen's family came out to freaking support him. SERIOUSLY. BUT. Still doesn't grab me the way "J" does. IDK, what it is about them. *le sigh* BUT back to this topic. Er. I don't really have one. But if I had to reach, I'd say Dawson's Creek. I didn't really care for any couples there. I liked everyone with everyone. EXCEPT Pacey and Joey. LOATHED. LOOOOOOOOOOOATTTTTTHEEEED that pairing. IDK. Maybe it's from personal experience, but going out with your BFFs ex? Is a big no no for me. NEVER. How could you even think about it? I just gotta say, Joey and Pacey better have had ended up married with lots of kids and lived happily ever after. Since it was worth it to both of them to stab their best friend in the back. |

I meditate far too much on the nature of RPS, and i love j2. J2 is its own canonical goodness. The fact that one can create actual honest to god quality j2 mpreg? that's insane. beyond insane. and yet, SeaHorse and its sequel exist. and i luff them. Some day i hope for other RPS of which i support to grow into that much epic goodness. Also? Because the character of Dawson was based on the writer, and the writer is a big ol' fag? Doing okay with the whole joey not winding up with dawson bit. Also, i loved Joey/Pacey together. Loved them. However, if Pacey and Jack instead of Pacey and Andy had hooked up? Wouldn't have hurt my feelings. Originally in Criminal Minds I was a total Morgan/Garcia girl, but i've become so entrenched in m/m that i only see morgan/reid now. However, for Leverage it isn't the same. For Leverage I was convinced i was going to be an eliot/nate girl. convinced. but i kinda dig on eliot/parker, hardison/parker, eliot/hardison, and eliot/parker/hardison. I'm thinking my mind will settle onto a more clear OTP by the end of the season. Also? Glee? Glee is giving me some OTP pain. I have to mull over what i want there. |

I didn't care for Dawson actually even though it was called Dawson's Creek. Ahaha. I just hate Pacey and Joey got together. HATE HATE HATE. I guess, too close to home. And I'm still not over it. Probably won't get over it. Two people you trust most in the world stabbing you both in the front and back? Yeah, I can live without that. I'm glad Dawson got over it. He's obviously made of stronger stuff than I am. I love Pacey as a character in general because of my love for Josh Jackson. Joey really was freaking annoying. She's actually the reason why I can't watch re-runs. |

LOL I think I told you guys my story about Katie Holmes, but I'll share it with everyone. ![]() Okay, so I went to a high school close to Ohio, and these two sisters move there. They were from whatever town Katie was from (or very close to it.) Anyway, one time the older girl was saying that her Aunt owned this beauty shop in said town. She said that Katie used to come there ALL the time before she became famous. One time her and her sister were visiting her aunt, and Katie came in there. (I guess she was visiting.) These girls were all, "Hi, OMG you're Katie Holmes. Nice to meet you." She said that Katie was the snobbiest snob to ever snob. I mean REALLY. They were probably still young, too. Like 12 and 13. How could you be meant to CHILDREN? So anyhoo, they hated her and I already didn't like her, so that kind of proved it to me.

All the LotR anti-shipping hurts my heart-place. I'll admit that I don't really get into fandom for Aragorn/Arwen (despite defending their epic, vaguely incestuous love to the death), but the Legolas/Gimli fandom is like that tiny family I can always rely on. Brancher's They Say of the Elves was the first real slash fanfiction I read, and I will love it 'til my dying day. As for non-shipping fandoms, I have a couple. Mostly shows and games where shipping isn't the point. I'm like this with Death Note (saw the series many times over, watched the movies many times over, read the original manga at least twice, write fanfiction like a person possessed, but do not actually ship anyone). The very idea of romance in the same universe as Death Note kind of weirds me out. I was involved in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fandom for a bit when I was younger, but never as a shipper. And then there's shows like Ouran High School Host Club, on the other end of the spectrum, where the only pairing I will accept is a seven-person orgy. Seriously, any effort to pair Haruhi with just one of the guys makes me cringe, which means I can read very, very little fanfiction. Unfortunately, the story seems to be developing in a definitely monogamous way.

WOAH. Easy there on the "stupid slut" part. Cause a lot of people don't know you're kidding, little one. Ha. Yes, I agree. Joey should have probably ended up alone. Or at least all ambiguous like. But it's all right, besides that entire Pacey and Joey betraying Dawson thing, I didn't take anything else away from the show. And I don't watch re-runs. So it's all good and done. ![]() Another one! Gossip Girl. I watch the show, but I'm not in the fandom so does that still count? I don't care for any ships on that show either. |

Maybe it's b/c by that point Dawson had turned into the world's most gigantic douche nozzle that I couldn't care less how much he got his widdle feelings hurt. By then, he basically only treated Joey like his property anyway. And I flove Joey and Pacey. Pacey turned out to be 10 times the man Dawson ever was. HAAAAAAAAATE!!! A college friend of mine went to high school with Jensen Ackles (the year before he got on Days of Our Lives) so any RPS with him just weirds me out. Is that strange even though I've never actually met him? And there was a time when I shipped Sam and Frodo from LOTR hard! There is no person on this earth that could convince me that Sam was not completely in love with Frodo (in the movies anyway). On topic: I really can't think of an answer for this. I've always sought out couples to root for on every show I've watched. |

Misha Collins used to hang out with my sister sometimes. I don't think it's weird at all. Not that it stops me reading misha as a guest in j2, but all the misha love makes me giggle and sometimes slightly uncomfortable. i really kinda want to send my sister some of the raunchier misha rps. |
