sometimes i 'ship things

[terabient]

i'm going on a 45 minute trip tomorrow to Boston! this is what passes for excitement these days!

as a going away egg present, have a tentacle hug and a fanfic meme i stole from hamimifk even though i haven't written fic in like. months? OH DEAR.

1. If you write, fandoms you have written/are writing/plan to write and favorite ships.

Have written (in no particular order): Skies of Arcadia, Dead or Alive, various Final Fantasy games, Soulcalibur, Ghost in the Shell, Yuugioh (!!!) Left 4 Dead

Are writing: Soulcalibur, FFVI, Left 4 Dead 2

Plan to write: um...maybe Phantasy Star? (original Genesis series, not the online incarnations)

2. Fandoms/Pairings you are ADDICTED to at the moment:

Fandoms: Left 4 Dead has pretty much taken my journal over for the past few months... XD and i still think about Soulcalibur a lot even if i don't talk about it often.
Pairings: Nick/Ellis (obvious) Louis/pills Zoey, Raphael/entire cast of SC, Siegfried/...also the entire cast of SC, Celes/Terra

3. Fandoms/Pairings you like, but aren't necessarily obsessed with:

Fandoms: FFX
Pairings: Lulu/Yuna, Paine/Yuna, (FFX) Xianghua/Maxi/Kilik (SC)

4. Fandoms/Pairings you're new to, but enjoying:

...i haven't really gotten into anything new since Left 4 Dead 2 was released, tbh. oh my...

5. You can chose one non-canon pairing you love to become canon (in a good way that the writers don't screw up). Who do you pick?

Well, Nick/Ellis is already canon... 8D

Louis/Zoey would be cute, i think. maybe Ivy/Siegfried because um, ohmygoodesstheyrehot, and i don't think it would be terribly hard to do.

6. You're only allowed to read fic from one fandom (any pairing) for the next three weeks. What fandom do you choose?

uh...idk. probably FFVI or FFVII because, while there's a ton of awful stuff, the very best is so good it's more than worth it.

7. You're allowed to refer to your favorite ship only by a shipper name. What ship is your favorite and what would you name them?

Raphael/Siegfried should totally be called Aryanshipping.

8. Two of your fandoms are going to collide in a spectacular crossover. Which fandoms would you pick?

...Left 4 Dead 1 & Left 4 Dead 2? fail

i guess having zombies infect any/all non-zombie fandom could be entertaining, though. so um, Left 4 Dead/everything?

9. You have to choose between reading bad porn about your fandom obsession of the moment, or no fic at all. What do you pick?

meme, i have written bad porn for my fandom obsessions. bad porn is faaaaaaaaaaabulous.

10. You're asked to pick a theme song for one character/ship. What song do you pick, and for whom?

Nick/Ellis - Scream, Raphael Saadiq

It's filled with beautiful, meaningful lyrics like:

And even when I'm sleeping
Or almost dead
I'll get in my car
'Cause you give great head

srsly this is such a fantastic song i think it should be applied to every OTP.

11. It's 2 in the morning and you should be doing math homework. What kind of fic do you read instead?

i don't do math homework, and if i'm up at 2am i'm USUALLY on teh xblox.

...but if i'm on the interwebs, that's prime filthy smutfic time!

12. The ship that makes you go "Awww" is...

...i don't really have a lot of ships that are cute? um, Louis/Zoey, maybe. they are both sort of adorable people.

13. The ship that makes you want to yell, "Just have sex already, you morons!" is...

me/your mom Xianghua/Maxi/Kilik because dammit Maxi and Xianghua really have to do something about that self-sacrificing Kilik boy.

also threesomes that could really work in canon are sexy.

14. The ship you're probably going to hell for shipping is...

Raphael/Amy .__. but only from a...certain approach.

15. The character you alternatively love to death and want to beat some sense into is...

i ♥ Siegfried as much as the next squealing fangirl but the MINE IS AN UNFORGIVABLE PAST story arc is just about played out. i think a lot of that is due to Namco taking the obvious, melodramatic approach to his story, though, and not necessarily a character issue. if that makes any sense. it probably doesn't.

16. The character you're almost embarrassed to admit you like is...

i think Lizardman is really cool. he is a dinosaur person with tragic past! it's like somebody put all my favorite things into a blender and made a character smoothie with them. and that smoothie...is a fighting lizard.

17. Your very first fandom/ship was...

first thing i was compelled to find fanstuff for? Sailor Moon, back when it was being dubbed by DiC. first fandom i wrote for was Skies of Arcadia, and i shipped Vyse/Aika until i realized people could have positive polyamorous relationships and started shipping Vyse/Aika/Fina. hooray for tolerance! and threesomes \o/

18. The fandom you could read any kind of fic in is...

i'm too lazy and picky to read every kind of fic in any kind of fandom.

19. The fandom you would totally write an anonymous Mary Sue fic in is...

i remember when i was a wee one watching Sailor Moon, i'd want to walk into the show and tell all the Sailor Scouts Senshi all of the bad guys' nefarious plots that i'd discovered while watching! so um, i guess SM?

20. The show you would bring back from cancellation....

is this like, one of those 'which one of these doesn't belong' games?

anyway. PUSHING FUCKING DAISIES. or Dead Like Me. or - look, just let a Bryan Fuller series survive past the second season OKAY
