Off the top of your head, right now, what ten 'ships would you likely drop what you're doing to read fic for. Or, alternately, what are the top ten ships that you'll give a fic a chance for, or that you've been dying to write, or that you've been dying to read.... These can be new loves, old flames, or something in between. Explain if you like, but you don't have to. Then tell us 3 things these ships say about you. Leave a comment about what you think these ships say about me, then repeat in your own LJ.
Nii/Kou - Bheguhhgh. Yes. There are so few of us writing this pairing...any time I'm aware of new ficcage, I've got to have it *yesterday*. It is such a fascinating, complex 'ship to explore. Not to mention all the canon implications; and the fact that they're both so *sexy* does not hurt things at all. Not one little bit.
Gojyo/Hakkai - So good together. Two halves of a nicely balanced whole. Wonderful complements to one another's personalities. A relationship so very many levels deep. Granted, there's a lot more of this out there. But it's still nice to find something *good*, that does them proper justice.
Tenpou/Kenren - Much like the Gojyo/Hakkai, but worlds different at the same time. Harder to find; Gaiden fics don't seem quite so profuse as those for the principal timeline. But as far as writing...these two are entirely too much fun.
Tenpou/Goujun - I don't think I've actually run across this one. But I've got bunnies spawning quietly in the corners of my brain for them, and I think there's a lot of potential for serious ficcage. I don't think they would last, in the long run. But that's part of what appeals about the exploration - what might lead them to one another, what sorts of things might occur over the course of learning that they're not Meant To Be.
Kenren/Goujun - Again, I've never seen this done. Have one bunny that still nibbles at the back of my mind every now and again. And I don't think they'd last, either. As a matter of fact, I have difficulty envisioning them even in any sort of actual relationship. It's more a matter of raw attraction and/or hatesex, really; but again. It would be fun to explore.
Kou/Doku - Strangely, there is very little of this out there. But I do like them together. And would probably write more, had NiiKou not so completely subverted my attention.
Sanzo/Goku - While I would have thought that this would be *the* most popular Saiyuki pairing, I don't run across much of it. Granted I don't do much searching, for ficcage of any sort (time! time!); but...when I do come across something that does them justice, it's always a nice treat.
And slipping to other fandoms to round out the list...
Kenshin/Sano - I had the darnedest time finding fics for this pair back when I was looking. But I love them together. They blend well, balance each other well, all that jazz. They flow so naturally...
Tatsumi/Watari - Granted, I've yet to read any YnM ficcage. Or even to be deeply enough into it to say *why* I want to see these two together, other than that they seem far more interesting than any of the other characters and they seem...like they'd go well together? And hey, if anyone cares to rec me anything starring them, I'd be most grateful...
Trowa/Wufei - Gundam Wing does not have the pull on me that it once did; but I would still love to see more quality fics with these two. Very rare, but very...fun. I was beginning to explore it before I stumbled onto Saiyuki...
What do these ten say about me? Hmm. That my tastes tend to drift all over the place? That even so, I gravitate toward the complementary-opposites type of pairings? That I like pretty characters who have a lot to offer one another? (shrug) Mmeh.
