[copracat]

I nominate Trek: any version.

[such_heights]

I'm going to go with DS9, though I don't actually know anything about the fandom for it.

OTP: Garak/Bashir. I ADORE Garak, so much, and I love love their interplay, the qualities that they bring out in each other, the whole thing hits so many of my shipping kinks I don't know what to do with it. :D

Runner-up: Kira/Dax. I only really picked up on this as I've been rewatching more recently, but OMG. They are fabulous.

Honourable mention: Miles/Keiko is really lovely.

Crack pairing: Um, Dukat/EVERYONE, I won't lie. I just -- he's so awesome. It's kind of cracky for me because I basically never do enemies-shipping, but Dukat/Sisko, Dukat/Kira, Dukat/Odo, I am THERE. >.>

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: I have no idea what is/was popular in the fandom - googling around, there seems to be a fair amount of Bashir/Dax, which I would find very hard to be sold on because it makes me cringe so much on the show. Also, I don't actually ship Kira/Odo even though they're adorable, I just find it tricky to move past the bff stage in their case.

omg I love Garak/Bashir too! how did I not know we had that in common!? And totally on with the lovely Miles/Keiko, I love them

[fallingtowers]

Firefly!

[such_heights]

OTP: Kaylee/Inara. SO CUTE OMG. That's ... pretty much the extent of indepth commentary I have on that one. *g*

Runner-up: I like any combination of Mal/Kaylee/River.

Honourable mentions: I've been known to indulge in the crazy space incest from time to time, and I also like the idea of Simon/Inara. Also, Zoe/Wash (sob!).

Crack pairing: I actually have a few thousand words of Saffron/Jack Harkness I've never got around to finishing. It seemed like a good idea at the time! Oh, and I kind of ship Jayne/Book, which I suspect is extremely unusual if not actual crack. (They work out together! Sometimes I'm really easy like that!)

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: Mal/Simon holds no interest for me at all, I find it hard to see where people are coming from there!

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

I may have written a Jack Harkness/Simon for a friend of mine once

>_>

[fallingtowers]

YoSaffBridge and Captain Jack in his conman days? Yes, I can see how this might work.

[tomsmum]

SGA :)

[such_heights]

OTP: John/Rodney, as it was the fic there that got me into the show in the first place. Also, John is so in love with Rodney omg. *g*

Runner-up: John/Rodney/Ronon/Teyla - I heart that team really kind of a lot. :D

Honourable mentions: There are very few SGA pairings I don't ship at least a little bit, I have to say. I particularly like combinations of Elizabeth/Ronon/Radek and Teyla/Keller.

Crack pairing: John/Todd. IT WRITES ITSELF.

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: John is one of the few characters I'm fannish about who I have a really hard time pairing with the opposite sex really at all, so John/Elizabeth and John/Teyla are out for me even though I get where they're coming from.

[glass_icarus]

Merlin! *g* Mostly because I want to know what your crack pairings would be, heh.

[such_heights]

OTP: Gwen/Morgana. This will be very surprising to anyone who's even glanced at my journal lately, I am sure. :D

Runner-up: Merlin/Arthur. I very easily forget how much I ship them until they're back on my TV and then I'm all flaily again.

Honourable mention: OT4! OT5! Various OT3s! They just all love each other so much, yay, and it is the solution to any and all shipping wars.

Crack pairing: Oh god, let's see. I was shipping Merlin/Edwin just a little in 1x06. I think I may have picked up another one from 2x02 that I won't spoil you for. And I sometimes subscribe to the 'the Dragon is Merlin's dad!' theory, so, um, Dragon/Hunith.

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: Hardly everyone else, but I have tried and failed to ship Uther/Morgana - the power imbalance really puts me off.

[crooked]

HP, since glass_icarus beat me to Merlin! :P

[such_heights]

OTP: Remus/Sirius. YOU ARE SHOCKED, I CAN TELL.

Runner-up: James/Lily. They are so snarky and lovely and doomed. D:

Honourable mentions: Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Luna, Frank/Alice, Augusta/Minerva, Harry/Neville, a whole bunch of other stuff I am probably forgetting!

Crack pairing: Um, what's the weirdest thing I've read and liked? That Crookshanks/Original Cat Character story minnow_53 wrote was faaaabulous.

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: Snape/anyone. Sorry, Snapefen!

[amathela]

Battlestar Galactica!

[such_heights]

OTP: I got most flaily about Boomer/Caprica when I was watching it (Downloaded made my LIFE).

Runner-up: Oh, Sam/Kara. Your love is so epic and tragic.

Honourable mention: Helo/Athena, D'Anna/Caprica, Gaeta/Hoshi, Roslin/Zarek.

Crack pairing: I suspect that shipping Cavil/Ellen is very bad and wrong. I sort of do anyway. >.>

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: Kara/Lee, Roslin/Adama. I fail at this fandom!

[amathela]

Sam/Kara! And Helo/Athena, yay ♥ (And Roslin/Zarek vs Roslin/Adama, my thoughts exactly.)

[such_heights]

I see we are much in accord, yes! :D

[aoftheis]

I hear you re. Kara/Lee -- the ship just really pisses me off now. Glamourising infidelity? No thanks.

[sundayave]

Doctor Who (old and/or new, up to Eleven if you wish!) :D

[such_heights]

I shall go for new!

OTP: Jack/Doctor is probably about the closest I get.

Runner-up: I'm on a bit of a Donna/Martha kick these days

Honourable mentions: Doctor/Master, Doctor/River, Mickey/Jake, Rose/Martha.

Crack pairing: I think that Jackie/Mickey would be officially AWESOME. :D

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: Doctor/Rose. Just, no.

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

Yes thank you; Doctor/Rose = FAIL BOAT

[miarrow]

UM. Torchwood. Or Arthurian Legend, not Merlin related.

[such_heights]

I know next to nothing about Arthurian Legend (fail!), so Torchwood it is:

OTP: Jack/Ianto. I am predictable!

Runner-up: I am really very OT3-ish about Jack/Gwen/Ianto.

Honourable mentions: Gwen/Rhys, Tosh/Owen, Owen/Ianto, Tosh/Martha.

Crack pairing: Ahaha, in this fandom THERE IS NO CRACK. I kind of ship Jack/the Hub, though. :D

Ship everyone else likes that I don't: I like all the popular ships in this fandom! Um, I guess I've never really been into the Jack/Ianto/John or Jack/Ianto/Doctor stuff that you see around.

[miarrow]

It's okay, I loved Jack/Ianto too. Most of those, actually (except didn't love Tosh/Owen, but Owen died for me when he died.... ahahahaha OH GOD THIS SHOW I can't believe I typed that out).

[such_heights]

I was really, really startled that the show sold me on Tosh/Owen, because I haaaated that Tosh had a crush on him in S1. And then, suddenly I could stand Owen, and lo and behold. (Also, lulz, Torchwood means never having to say you're kidding!)

[miarrow]

IDK. Once Owen couldn't have sex anymore, I was like, "YOU'RE NOT OWEN ANYMORE" so it made me sad. But Tosh made everything fantastic, so I didn't hate it.

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

omg Jack/The Hub is like the end all love
