Sailing, we are sailing...

[livejournal.com profile] doyle_sb4 once made a list of all her Buffy ships—I believe it came to the fifties. I doubt I have that many in all my fandoms. Let me count, shall I?


Lord of the Rings

I don't really ship in this fandom, but I'm a vehment anti-slasher. That's why I don't read LotR fanfic. I made a Sam/Rosie icon too. And in previous generations, Beren/Luthien is so beautiful and sad!

Harry Potter

Harry/Ginny. A lot of H/H shippers seem to assume that all R/Hr peeps ship R/Hr first and H/G on the side, but I read CoS first, and became a H/G shipper. I thought vaguely that

Ron/Hermione might happen, but didn't actively ship it until the Yule Ball, when I squeed extremely loudly at all the H/G and R/Hr-ness.

I do, however, have a sneaking fondness for Draco/Ginny. It's my guilty pleasure ship.

I also ship Bill/Fleur, and Charlie/Cho. *waves at [livejournal.com profile] itsuwari* That's my fanon-only ship. (But wouldn't it ROX if JKR wrote it that way?) I also think Arthur/Molly, Percy/Penelope and Fred/Angelina are the only pairings for these characters, but I don't ship them as such.

In the parents generation, I ship James/Lily, and could see unrequited Severus/Lily. Also Remus/Lily, before she went out with James, would be very sweet. I don't know why, but Sirius/Lily squicks me. I see them as having a brother/sister type friendship.

I like Sirius/Narcissa. So sue me. I have a yen to write, not Victim!Narcissa with ManlyRescuerer!Sirius, but a realistic fic where she's torn between Sirius and Lucius, and marries Lucius because her ambition wins out.

Sirius/Remus is the only slash ship that I could ever see as realistic, though I don't read it. As I'm a solid canon shipper usually, I can't help but wonder what this says about canon.

Star Wars

Han/Leia—they're the best. And they're funny, and 'I love you.' 'I know.' is the best line EVER.

Anakin/Padmé, beautiful and tragic.

Owen/Beru. The most overlooked couple in SW. I love them both.

Obi-Wan/Siri from the Jedi Apprentice books. I never could see Obi with anyone but her.

Luke/OC. Because I hate Mara Jade. And crush on Luke. What can I say.

Luke/Leia—AU, before you all start killing me. I don't ship this, but my subconcious seems to (see here and here. I think it would have been like A/P, the knight courting the princess (queen), but without the disturbing undertones.

Sixteen in total, out of three fandoms. 5.33 ships per fandom. Doyle, you have me run into the ground.
