I'm certain of number 1: John/Rodney. Could number 2 be Ten/Rose?

[such_heights]

Correct on the first, half-right on the second!

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

1. John/Rodney?
4. Merlin/Arthur?
10. Aziraphale/Crowley?

Ah, beat me to #1...

[such_heights]

Yes; right fandom, wrong ship; yes!

[stellastars]

[such_heights]

Yes yes!

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

1. John/Rodney
11. Merlin/Arthur
5. Will/Lyra

[such_heights]

Correct on all counts! :D

I can't believe I didn't get the Good Omens one! ♥

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

14. Josh/Donna

[such_heights]

Indeed! Oh, my heart, they might just have been my first ship.

[thisaestus.livejournal.com]

15 - arwen and strider

14. Josh/Donna?
15. Aragorn/Arwen

[such_heights]

Five times yes, nicely done! :D

[sweetestdrain]

I love seeing this meme on my flist, but I am SO BAD at guessing. Hmm.

3. ...Mal/Zoe?
4. Ooh, ooh, Gwen/Morgana!
5. Whatsisname and Whatsername from Stardust?
8. Jack/Ianto? (I am... half-kidding.)
10. Crowley/Aziraphale!
11. Merlin/Arthur?
14. Josh/Donna from West Wing? (Admittedly, I have no idea if you even watch West Wing.)

SO BAD at this.

[sweetestdrain]

Also, slow to type.

2. Nine/Rose?

[such_heights]

All good guesses! Correct on 4, 10, 11 and 14. And LMAO at 8 being Jack/Ianto, I sort of wish that was true now. :D

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

9. Ginny/Luna
3. Kaylee/Inara
2. Ten/Jack

[such_heights]

Yes, thrice yes! :D

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Really, wow! Apparently I'm better playing this when I'm almost asleep than when I'm awake! *g*

[such_heights]

Hee! Well, yes, apparently you're very in tune with my shipping preferences. \o/

[stellastars]

Wild guess for 13 - Rose/Martha?

[such_heights]

Correct! \o/ I'm so pleased someone got that.

[stellastars]

:D Yay!

Just had to say, with #14, the line that your prompt came from... that is one of my favorite lines in all television!

[such_heights]

JOSH AND DONNA, oh my. I think they might just have been my very first ship! *hearts*

[stellastars]

They were very adorable! ♥

[spacefragments.livejournal.com]

Maybe he's an improvement on squid after all.

lol, cute.

[such_heights]

Haha, I love James and Lily in their dysfunctional stages!

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

12) Ron/Hermione, perhaps? ;D

[such_heights]

Yes indeed! :D

[terribilita.livejournal.com]

Too late to guess, but this left me a bit curious. Do you have an OTP that includes Harry?

[such_heights]

Good question! I like Harry/Ginny well enough, but the sekrit OTP of my heart is Harry/Neville, sadly something of a rarepair.

[terribilita.livejournal.com]

Aww, secret OTPs always seem to be rare, unfortunately. I was never actively in the fandom (SGA stole me away soon after I finished the second book) though I did and still do read fic on occasion, usually around this time since all the holiday exchanges are finishing up. I can't say I've ever read Harry/Neville but I see the appeal.

[such_heights]

There isn't much of it - I think because you'd have to do a fair bit of groundwork, and there really are a considerable number of other people Harry gets paired with!

[faeriemaiden.livejournal.com]

I love this meme. It is on my queue of memes to do in the very near future. :D (And it's a quarter finished, too -- it's just hard! Which is the fun part.)

[such_heights]

Yay! It is really, really fun. It took me ages to even think of 15, actually.

[faeriemaiden.livejournal.com]

I have given up on fifteen and decided to go for only thirteen. :p I mean, I really don't want to put out ships I am perfectly happy with but have no special emotional resonance with, you know? ALSO THE CRACKIEST OF CRACK SHIPS IS REPRESENTED OH DEAR.

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

Very nice description for all of these! I'm sad I missed out on the guessing portion.

[such_heights]

Aww, yes, it sped by a little bit! Still, fun fun meme, most recommended. :D
