Meme from everyone:

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 to you with the relationships (canon or not) from it I 'ship. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something.

Hmm. That's not going to work for me since I do ship a lot, y'know. Maybe 'comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of and some sort of qualifier like "het" or "threesomes" or "ships featuring a particular character"'? If it's a fandom I'm not familiar with I'll make something up; Veronica/Weevil 4eva, etc.

Okay, well, to start, let's go with Doctor who and the lovely man in your icon, the First Doctor.

[livii.livejournal.com]

Hah, if Veronica Mars went for Veronica/Weevil, then I would start watching it again. ;D

How about UNIT ships?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I want to say Doctor Who just to see how long it'll take you...

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

His only true love is Cameca! And Susan's grandmother. Though that fic of calapine's totally sold me on One/Rose.

[appomattoxco.livejournal.com]

DS9 Threesome :)

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Awww, Cameca. Bwahahaha. And yet that pairing still goes unwritten over on the drabble tag. No One/Barbara? Does she just have eyes for Ian?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

UNIT dating!

Let's see, the Brig/Liz would be snarktastically awesome, of course, as would Three/Liz (and the three of them together). I secretly love Three/Jo which is canon, dammit, it is. Benton/Yates is my UNIT slash OTP, especially in The Mind of Evil. Oh, and Benton/Yates/Jo, please, she would be beside herself in delight at having two soldier boys to play with.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sadly, which is why the single bit of One/Barbara I've written is after Ian's dead since it's the only way I can work it... they're a damn hard couple to get around.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

*weeps* It would take me YEARS.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

THE MEME HAS SPOKEN!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Ooh, good one. I'd have to say Kira/O'Brien/Bashir since I always thought Kira and O'Brien had a bit of a thing during the surrogacy storyline, and obviously Miles and Julian have their True Love... (my DS9 OTPs, since nobody else is likely to ask for that fandom - I think - are Garak/Bashir, O'Brien/Bashir and Jadzia/Sisko)

[livii.livejournal.com]

If Three/Jo isn't canon, nothing is, dude. During The Three Doctors! Totally in love.

The Mind of Evil is what got me to write Benton/Yates, particulary the concern poor Benton had for Yates' safety.

::wants Benton/Yates/Jo right now::

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Aaah, fair enough, fair enough. Though I'm the sort who can imagine a big One/Barbara/Ian threesome, hahahaha. Poor dead Ian.

[appomattoxco.livejournal.com]

I saw the actors who played Garak/Bashir at a con once they did a fanfic like play that Andrew Robinson wrote and the true love oozed. I was pretty blind to slash then and I could see it.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who (yes, I'm original). How about Five's era?

[thesecondevil]

How's about Buffyverse femslash?

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

angel threesome!

[m-butterfly.livejournal.com]

Ooh, finally someone who hasn't been asked about House.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

House/Wilson (or House/Wilson/Cuddy) and Cameron/Foreman (or Cameron/Foreman/Chase). Preferably the threesomes for increased likelihood of supreme bitchy competitiveness.

Damn, now I'm reconsidering signing up for 3_ships.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. I wish a script of that was online. (Andrew Robinson's Garak novel hints pretty heavily at them having at the very least an unrequited love thing)

[that_mireille]

Oh, those threesomes would both be just marvellously bitchy. (And pretty.)

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Who you ship with Seven?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

SEVEN IS ASEXUAL AND WAS MADE ONNA LOOOOM OMG.

I could go for Seven/Benny, though, despite him referring to her as his daughter etc (didn't stop him once he regenerated...) And there was that NA - Room Without Doors, I think? - that convinced me Chris is probably in love with him as well. Hmm, and Seven/Reinette would win.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

omg seven/reinette?!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

There would be chess playing and lots of veiled conversations about strategy and elegant counter-manipulation on both sides. Meanwhile, Ace gets her picture painted in the garden.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Awww bless!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

My two big ones are Five/Nyssa (see LJ layout) and Five/Turlough: the BBC or Big Finish could soak endless money out of me if they chose to, just by releasing stuff set between Time Flight/Arc of Infinity or Resurrection/Planet of Fire. I was never much on for Five/Tegan but the recent BF play convinced me I could go for it if it was snarky rather than schmoopy, and preferably with an older Tegan (especially since Five does seem terribly keen on women of a certain age: Dr Todd being a case in point)

I liked the Five/Peri in Caves of Androzani but since they're a pretty couple rather than an interesting one (IMO) I'm not sure how well it'd relate to fanfic.

Five/Tegan/Turlough could be the Best Thing Ever.

Intercompanion couplings: Tegan/Turlough because it'd be bitchy and hot and drive the poor Doctor mad. Tegan/Nyssa for the pretty and because I like Nyssa femslash (the who_otp drabble tag convinced me that someone needs to write epic Sarah Waters-style historical femslash with Nyssa and her double, Ann, from Black Orchid). Adric/Zoe because they're both pixie-ish geniuses who could be superior at each other and talk about maths.

Oh, and Five/the Master, though I'd raise my eyebrows a bit if it was anything other than angry, hate-filled and slightly unhinged. Flowers and chocolates are out, unless it's meant to be a comedy...

[seangaffney.livejournal.com]

What, no love for Six? Give me Six ships! You must! :D

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Six/Tegan is the One True Way, for realz, and would have to occur with just the two of them travelling together, otherwise Peri/Mel/Evelyn would be driven out just by the amount of shouting. I could go for some Six/Evelyn too; anyone who's going to puncture him a bit, basically.

*will not speculate on Six/Frobisher*

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's going to take a while...

Let's see, my main ones - the ones I would ask for, say, if I was going 'write me Buffyverse femslash plz' - are Buffy/Cordelia (that would have been fabulous during the high school years) and Dawn/Tara. Oh, I'm in the minority that loved Willow/Kennedy too. I'm all for Dawn slash in general, so Dawn/Kennedy, Dawn/Cordelia, Dawn/Anya, Dawn/Kit, Dawn/Amanda and Dawn/Vi are all up there too. Season 1-3 Buffy/Willow, too. Spotting a high school femslash fondness yet?... I could go for Buffy/Tara and Anya/Tara too. Over on Angel there's Fred/Cordelia. And Lilah/anyone's just hot.

I'm not much for Faith pairings in fic, though I liked the Buffy/Faith subtext in the show.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

The one that jumps to mind right away is season 2 Gunn/Wesley/Cordelia. I like any combination of the three of them, but the three together would be perfect.

Angel/Spike/Nina, as should surprise no-one... and for a more unusual one, Wes/Lilah/Virginia Bryce.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

The layout is absolutely lovely, helped, of course, by the fact that Five and Nyssa are both very pretty (and I love the scene pictured). Were you the one who designed it? Five/Nyssa, themselves, are also great. They're very understated and gentle with one another, while retaining depth.

Five/Turlough. Guh, yes! In retrospect, watching Mawdryn Undead and following it up by listening to Singularity was probably a bad idea on my part. It just made me want more!

Agreed on Five/Tegan. The 'fighting = love' thing seems a little preset to me, though I do like them snarking as friends. And now I would love to see fic with the older Tegan.

I loved Caves of Androzani in general, but sadly, I'm one of those people who can't deal with Peri's accent. I don't mind her in fic, and she's certainly pleasant to look at, but the voice (and clearly British language structure) get in the way of my really liking her or any pairing she's in.

Five/Tegan/Turlough would be win! Especially after a major upheaval, like the end of Warriors of the Deep, maybe. Or in general. The amount of snark, alone...

Tegan and Turlough might even get together with the explicit purpose of driving poor Five nuts. They'd be great co-conspirators, if they could just stop bickering for half a moment.

Tegan and Nyssa would be beautiful, and heartbreaking. And sometimes shmoopy. Either way, I want some.

I've never really thought about Nyssa/Ann or Adric/Zoe before, but now that I've seen your drabbles, I'm thoroughly intrigued and want more.

...How could anyone write Five/Master as schmoopy, unless it was humor? The slightly unhinged is the hinge of their relationship and one of the things that makes it most interesting. Well, to me, anyway.

And that was a long way of me going 'word' at everything.

[thesecondevil]

I think Buffy/Cordy and Buffy/Willow work best as High school femslash. That's not to say that it doesn't work when they're older, just that it loses some of it's flavour if that makes any sense.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. I think in general I'm often drawn to that awkward adolescent crush/love when done right, especially f/f or m/m. Buffy/Willow would be the sweet best friends thing; Buffy/Cordelia would be the fabulous, bitchy, one-upmanship and unexpected empathy Mean Girls thing.

[owl]

Harry Potter! No, BSG.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

HP: I like the trio, in any combination. Or, hey, all three of them. I like Harry/Ginny, didn't think it had a chance in hell at being canon, and was pleasantly surprised. Oh, and Remus/Sirius - it was the Azkaban movie that sold me on that one.

BSG: My only ship so far is Roslin/Apollo, mostly from that episode where she was in her dressing gown and things seemed to be proceeding in a "Mrs Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?" direction before it turned out she wanted to see him to tell him she had cancer instead. Oh! And Baltar/Six for the lols of it all. I am entertained by his twitchy craziness.

[owl]

You are quite conservative in you Potter ships :) I like the same except not really H/Hr, and Remus/Tonks more than Remus/Sirius.

My only ship so far is Roslin/Apollo

*chokes* She'll have to and up as his stepmother instead of his mother-in-law, unless she's hiding a daughter somewhere. (Starbuck?) Actually I anti-ship Apollo and Starbuck, sort of like Ten and Rose.

Gaius/#6 is the best ship in the history of the universe ever. I want an icon of them with 'I need a chair for my imaginary (girl)friend' on it. :)

[owl]

That would be 'end up as'

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Actually I anti-ship Apollo and Starbuck, sort of like Ten and Rose.

Me too. And I don't think I've even seen Apollo and Starbuck in more than one scene together yet, but even so.

[owl]

Ha! Someone else who is resisting the ship. I do hope they won't do that will they/won't they Ross/Rachel type thing and end up together in the finale. I love them both to bits, they're two of my favourite characters, but I don't ship them.

Do you mind being spoiled for series 2, or would you rather I didn't?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

No spoil I!

[owl]

Um, was that, 'No, spoil me' or 'No spoil me'? :D
