Thirty Days of Fanfiction: Day Nine
Jul. 9th, 2011 10:38 pmTired and about twelve hours behind on my usual meme-posting schedule, but it's still technically Saturday here, so ...
9 – Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
I haven't written three different pairings in most of my fandoms! In many of the smaller ones, I haven't even written one, since I write a lot of gen. It's quite rare for me to write any pairing more than once or twice. (I think people familiar with my work can guess what the two big exceptions to that rule are.)
X-Men: Xavier/Magneto is one of my top two all-time OTPs. In any version of their universe, they intrigue me. I've also written Charles with Amelia Voght on more than one occasion, as she's my favourite of his canon love interests. (Not that I don't love Lilandra! I'm surprised and kind of disappointed to find that I've never actually written any Charles/Lil. I think it's because the pairing was well and truly off the boil in canon by the time I started reading. I didn't go back and read the older stuff with them until later, and by then any fic ideas seemed redundant. And, wow, that was a long digression.) I have also enjoyed writing individual stories that were Charles/Hank, Charles/Rogue (it was intentionally creepy!), and most recently Charles/The Entire Brotherhood of Mutants. Charles/Everyone really is my OTP to end all OTPs.
Farscape: I like both Scorpius/Sikozu and Scorpius/Braca in this fandom. Some day, I will write that Scorpius/Braca/Sikozu threesome story ... I've also got a soft spot for Crais/Aeryn, although it was only while I was watching Season Four that I actually thought she'd be better off with him than John. (Luckily The Peace Keeper Wars got Aeryn back into character.)
Babylon 5: Londo/G'Kar is my other all-time OTP winner! I've also written Kosh/Lyta and Londo/Urza in this fandom, but those were isolated cases among a pile of stories about Londo and G'Kar. (Several of which are gen.)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles/Ethan is the only pairing I have ever actually written in this fandom, although I also 'ship Andrew/Warren in a 'this is actually a Very Bad Idea' sort of way. Of course, Giles/Ethan is also a Very Bad Idea for various reasons. It's that sort of show!
Doctor Who: I am very fond of both Doctor/Master and Doctor/Romana, in no particular order, and have written both. I also like Doctor/River and (of course!) Doctor/TARDIS, but I have never written about either of those.
due South: I'm not sure that Vecchio/Fraser/Kowalski counts as a 'pairing', exactly, but it is my favourite. I've written several Vecchio/Fraser stories set before Kowalski showed up, and one Fraser/Kowalski drabble, but the OT3 is my happy place for these guys.
Alias: Another fandom where I'm all about the OT3, although I never actually finished that Sloane/Jack/Irina story. I like Sloane/Jack and Irina/Jack individually, too, and Sloane/Emily as well. (Although, um, there's another story I never finished.) I also have a twisted thing for Sloane/Sydney. (That one is actually a vid that is not finished. Or, indeed, started.)
The Authority: The only pairing I ever wrote in the fandom was Apollo/Midnighter, and that was because somebody requested it. I always had weird thing for the Doctor/the Engineer (by which I mean Jeroen and Angie) but never got around to writing any.
Transformers: Starscream/Megatron was probably my first ever OTP! My ambition in this fandom is to write more of Starscream/Everyone, though. (No, brain, the logically conclusion of this train of thought is not that you should write Charles Xavier/Starscream.) I keep telling my friends about the 'Starscream and Octane Make A Porno' story and never writing it.
Blake's 7: It came as a surprise to nobody that I fell hard for Blake/Avon when I watched this show, and I've written a couple of stories. I don't feel the need to write more than that, though, because there's so much about them already.
