Belated happy birthdays to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greenspine and rian219, and happy on-time birthday to multiclassgeek! ♥ 
Now, as I am procrastinating, a meme swiped fromprettyquotable
Six ships you're into right now
1. Jack/Ianto/Gwen (Torchwood)
2. John/Rodney (Stargate: Atlantis)
3. Booth/Brennan (Bones)
4. Jack/Doctor (Doctor Who)
5. Remus/Sirius (Harry Potter)
6. Rose/Martha (Doctor Who)
Three ships you liked, but don’t like anymore
7. Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who)
8. Sam/Dean (Supernatural)
9. James/Sirius (Harry Potter)
Four ships you never liked
10. Remus/Severus (Harry Potter)
11. Jack/Gwen (Torchwood)
12. Doctor/Martha (Doctor Who)
13. Harry/Draco (Harry Potter)
Two ships you're curious about, but don’t actually ship
14. Jared/Jensen (Supernatural RPS)
15. CJ/Toby (The West Wing)
Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Jack/Gwen)
Oh, Torchwood, way to run a multi-episode plot arc that had me thinking you were going to break up two canon ships I really like! In retrospect, now I think that it's totally been sunk, I don't mind the way they handled it nearly so much. I love Gwen, love her dynamic with Jack, and if someone were to write an AU where they had an awesome fling and it didn't trip all my infidelity squicks, I'd be all over it. As it is, I hate hate hate the trope of "I'm only settling for this person because I can't have you, even though they're ace", and remain emphatically relieved that that isn't what 'Something Borrowed' turned into. (For Gwen, anyway, because who even knows where they're going with Jack and Ianto at the moment. S3, you've got to give us something!)
Who is someone you know that ships #14? (Jared/Jensen)
You lot know who you are! I'm blamingsazzlette, fleshflutter, and lazy_daze in particular.
What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (Booth/Brennan)
Omg, so many! I just want some kind of epic declaration, probably brought on by a case, and the Jeffersonian lot look on - I can see it now, actually, Angela looking smug, Sweets looking squeeful, it'd be awesome.
Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? (Jack/Ianto/Gwen)
Forehead kissing of win in 'The Stolen Earth'! ♥ And I know I was just talking about things that ought to mean I shouldn't ship this, but it's mostly in a hugging-because-we-didn't-die way and that they're kind of the best little team ever and all bff-y and hot but Gwen still loves Rhys best. It makes sense in my head, all right?
How long have you been following couple #6? (Rose/Martha)
Since the crazy Rosefen and Marthafen started getting their hate on against each other. We all know what the answer to that is! And then, despite all my expectations we got a little bit of canonical support in 'Journey's End'. \o/
What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Sam/Dean)
I'll still read it happily enough, but honestly it doesn't do anything extra for me than the epic love they already have in the show.
You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (Remus/Severus or Doctor/Martha)
Seeing as neither are actually canon - eh, I like a lot of the Snupin fans, so we'll ditch Doctor/Martha. Martha can do so much better! With Tom or Jack or Rose or Tosh or Romana, all of which are very fine ships indeed.
Which ship do you prefer #2 or #4?. (John/Rodney or Jack/Doctor)
OKAY HARD. Um. John/Rodney, because it can actually have a happy ending! And the show gives me a lot more fodder.
What interests you about #15? (CJ/Toby)
I'm going on a West Wing kick at the moment, and the first time round watching the show I didn't really have a concept of shipping anyone less anvillicious than Josh/Donna. On this go round, I find there's so much I missed! And these two have a very lovely relationship, they really do. Though CJ/Danny is also ftw.
Why did you stop liking #7? (Doctor/Rose)
Two words: season three. That and the crazy, crazy fans - it was a relief with Rose's return this season and lots of shippers who are nice, sane human beings started coming out of the woodwork - there's a fair number of you on the flist *waves* and that made me feel much better about it all. I've still pretty much gone off it altogether, though.
Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (James/Sirius)
Definitely not! I'm just more exclusively interested in shipping both of them with other people these days.
What’s a song that reminds you of #5? (Remus/Sirius)
So very many! Bloc Party's 'Sunday', most particularly.
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
Omg omg, now I've thought of it I really want to read it - John/Rodney and Booth/Brennan! :D It would be amazing, and John & Booth and Rodney & Brennan respectively would get on so very, very well.
Have #2 kissed yet? (John/Rodney)
*sigh* Only in a billionty fanfics!
Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Jack/Doctor)
They have quite a few endings! But the first one, the one where Jack's all "I love you and you changed my entire life" and then the Doctor's all "omg you are everything wrong with the universe run awaaaay" and Jack gets abandoned and has to live through a century and then the Doctor tries to run away again? Yeah, not so much!
What would make you start shipping #14? (Jared/Jensen)
Oh, I'm basically there already - one more awesome fic I read or one more article about how they are married and that'll be it.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? (John/Rodney or Rose/Martha)
Oh wow, Rose/Martha would make fandom go so 'splodey, but John/Rodney, guys! Because the show will never go there in a million years but they really, really should.
You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Remus/Severus)
Remus lives, dammit! Snape? Eh, he can stay dead, or not, I really don't care.
Which do you dislike the most?
Jack/Gwen, probably, as a result of the writers paining me so at times!
Which of these ships do you love the most?
You'll notice how I haven't actually got Jack/Ianto in there because then Jack would be in three of my six ships and I thought that would be a little excessive. Anyway, out of the six up there I'm currently digging especially, Jack/Doctor seems to be eating my brain the most, in a desperately depressing yet somehow awesome sort of way. They have so many interesting parallels and differences and a really complicated dynamic that's fun to get stuck into.
