SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE: Frankly, six just isn't enough, so I've gone only one from a fandom. Except Doctor Who/Torchwood because its too awesome to be constrained.
1. Ten!Doctor/Simm!Master Theta/Koschei (Doctor Who)
2. Jack/John (Torchwood) I am investing in this pairing, due to the mindblowing hotness and awesomeness. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
3. House/Chase (House)
4. Harry/Voldemort (Harry Potter)
5. Picard/Q (Startrek TNG)
6. Ronon/Kavanaugh (Stargate Atlantis)
THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Artemis/Holly (Artemis Fowl)
8. Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter)
9. Nick/Greg (CSI)
THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Guy/Marian (Robin Hood)
11. Harry/Cho (Harry Potter)
12. Gwen/Owen (Torchwood)
TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Jack/Yvonne (Doctor Who/Torchwood)

QUESTIONS:
1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
Harry/Cho... well, I don't dislike it all that much in canon and it served its purpose I suppose. I just can't stand people who actively ship it. I mean, why? There wasn't ever anything there, there isn't subtext to build on, they just don't have the chemistry. I LOVE weird, unusual pairings, and even in the gap between OotP and HBP coming out I just thought the whole thing was tired and had gone as far as it should.
2. Who do you know that ships #13?
Jack/Yvonne?? Um, I have no idea if anyone else does. I'm sure I'm not the ONLY one, but I haven't found any for ages. Granted I haven't really gone looking for ages, and lord knows I never write enough of anything, let alone my lesser, usually het pairings. But I love it. It has so much potential for rockingness though, don't you think?
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
House/Chase...hmmm... in canon I have no idea, we'll see what happens when I buckle and watch season 4. In fic I adore bottom!abused!Chase, so hurt/comfort with a SMALL amount of BDSM between them is most excellent.
4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
Doctor/Master OMG can I say the end of Utopia and whole of tSoD and LotTLs?! That would be quite long for a moment. I suppose I'd have to say the phone sex. Now that was HAWT.
5. How long have you been following couple #6?
Ronon/Kavanaugh *smiles* I can't even remember what the episode is but its that classic with the bomb when I started obviously, and I saw that, um, maybe a year ago? Year and a half? Season 2 and 3 run together in my mind...
6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
Harry/Hermione? I just couldn't take it anymore. The delusional idiots helped me along the way quite a lot, the DREW people worry me and disturb me ever so slightly, it was just too much work and I never read it so I decided to just stop kidding myself.
7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
Jack/John or Harry/Voldemort? Well, thats an interesting question. Currently, I would have to choose Harry/Voldemort over Jack/John, since I'm trying to stay away from spoilers so all I have really in Jack/John currently is John Barrowman's word, the wonder that is the gorgeousness of John Barrowman and James Marsters seperately of course and a couple of trailers. It would be frankly insulting to Harry/Voldemort even if I'm not getting enough of this fix lately. However, ask me again in 10 days...
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
Guy/Marian or Gwen/Owen. Difficult. On the one hand, I adore Guy and I dont really mind that he loves Marian because she does appear to be the only bloody woman there, so its kinda understandable. And the event at the end of the series made the whole relationship much better IMO. Which is ironic. So I don't mind, I just which that there even was an alternative really. She's so boring and annoying and predictable and a manipulative bitch also, and Guy is just so lovely and gorgeous and deserves much better than her.
On the other hand, Gwen/Owen, well to be frank, I think they deserve each other, and maybe if they keep their attention on each other they will stay away from anyone and everyone else, I mean Owen kept Gwen awa from Jack I suppose so I guess thats ok, but I think it would be best if the were locked up together or something to prevent an contamination with the rest of the world. Because the thing that annoys me the most about Gwen/Owen is the amount of screen time and attention it gets when they are so bloody boring and unattractive too.
So I think I'd get rid of Gwen/Owen if I could actually get rid of them, so that Torchwood could be entirely Jack, Ianto and Tosh, with occassional cameos from Martha and Ten and Sarah Jane and people, and fit aliens of course, but if I had to get rid of the pairing but not the characters it would be Guy/Marian because I love Guy so much and he's the only good thing about that show.
9. What interests you about #14?
Jack/Sarah Jane is such a great little pairing, I actually really like it but I never finished the fic I started and never reall read it anymore. But I just think its such a great idea that just kinda makes sense. They have similar backgrounds with the whole dumped by the Doctor thing, and I started doing one of these bumping into each other style fics that, now I think about it, I should really get around and write becuse its quite fun and lovely. And as well as having similar backgrounds they both have interesting ways of coping and continuing etc. Anyway, I think its great.
10. When did you stop liking #7?
Artemis/Holly... well I haven't stopped liking it, its just such a small fandom and most of it is rubbish, and there hasn't been any new canon for over a year and I'm just moving on. There's nothing wrong with it, there just isn't anything good about it, theres no energy at the moment. It could come back, I hope it comes back, but currently, it hasn't.
11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
Nick/Greg was never something I was particularly into, I preferred Grissom/Greg, but I haven''t watched the most recent CSI. Mabe there were two series I missed. I might watch the new one, but frankly, the more I missed the episodes, the less I missed the show, so not sure I'll bother.
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
Picard/Q, well, weirdly enough, the first one that comes to mind is "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera, then probably "Its Just A Little Crush" by Jennifer Paige, but I did listen to these on repeat while reading P/Q, so its probabl because of that more than an relevance of the lyrics or anything. But more than ten years on and these two are still hot.
13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
WELL... Doctor/Master probably gets the most adoration currently, but its switching thru to Jack now in anticipation and the whole Jack/John thing is going to be freaking amazing, so a toss up between them I think. RTD, you are a god.
14. Which do you dislike the most?
Gwen/Owen, because Harry/Cho and Guy/Marian don't annoyy me that much, and I do adore both Harry and Guy, and the return of Torchwood heightens may annoyance. So, them.
15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Hmmm, difficult, because neither Doctor/Master nor Harry/Voldemort can or should go out at all for the good of everyone else, let alone on a double date... Ronon/Kavanaugh would be alright I suppose, Picard/Q could happen if Q is behaving but probably shouldn't be recommended, especially not with Ronon/Kavanaugh, that would be too cruel... Jack/Sarah Jane is pretty safe thank god, and House/Chase might be able to interact in a way that is borderline socially acceptable. I think Ronon/Kavanaugh and House/Chase would be very strange and awkward and probably should be avoided, but Jack/Sarah Jane and House/Chase might just work...
Having said that, Doctor/Master and Jack/Sarah Jane would be amazing if the didn't kill each other, and Doctor/Master and Harry/Voldemort would be great if they didn't kill a bunch of other people.
16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
Jack/John... not in canon, because John hsan't actuall feautured in canon yet. But it is a certainty and it is coming and it has been filmed, and when it does come, either in 9 days or in 14 weeks [and two days...] or both, it will be a bit than kissing and a lot more than chaste. Can't. Freaking. Wait.
17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
Harry/Voldemort, um no, not really as a pairing, but nobody expected one did they? That doesn't really matter though does it?
18. What would make you start shipping #14?
Jack/Sarah Jane, I do, I do ship it damnit, I just need more time and motivation, honest.
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
Jack/John or Ronon/Kavanaugh. Bit of a silly question really, since one is canon and one isn't. So I will have to stick to canon and say Jack/John, because it hasn't even happened et and its set to be incredible. And Jack/Ten didn't really do much but Doctor/Master did, so its good for Jack to get someone phenomenal as well. [Sorry, Ianto, but lovely as you are...]
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
Guy/Marian? Muahaha, I think I'll leave them at the end of series two forever thanks. Everybody's [nobodys] happy now... *evil smile*
