Done with the Tortall books.
I like them quite a bit, I think. I will NOT change my femslash08 signup, will NOT. Surely I can request Tortall at Yuletide. I do not need Buri/Thayet or Daine/Onua or Aly/Dove or Alanna/Kel or Skysong/dragon or Beka/Goodwin or Goodwin/Sabine or Aniki/Kora right away. Do NOT!... am probably fooling myself. Sigh. Peppermint Patty/Marcie, I love you tooooooo.
[ETA] OR Kel/Daine or Aly/Daine. Definitely not. *sigh* (Look at all the mentoring relationships. Look. LOOK. It's like this fandom was made for me to femslash in.)

femslash08 brainstorming
May. 9th, 2008 01:45 pmAm stalking the poll even though it seems as if the List is pretty much set:
*Buffyverse (99!!)
*Firefly (93)
BSG (59)
new Who (55)
Sarah Connor Chronicles (52)
Bring It On (50)
*Grey's (48)
*Harry Potter (43)
Gossip Girl (43)
*VMars (43)
SG-1 (41)
SGA (40)
Heroes (39)
And some runners-up that might make the list but that I can't write anyhow so no bother. Anyhow. I have starred the shows I can write. I have nowhere near enough BSG and sadly lots of the SG-1 requests are for Vala, and I haven't seen 9/10/AoT STILL. So. Can't do. But I can write Grey's for the first time ever and VMars for the first time in ages because I'm finally caught up on canon, and I can write the Jossverse for the fourth year in a row. \o/ Not the comics, though. Not caught up and they are not my canon.
Anyhow, I know I will request in Buffyverse and Grey's. I just can't choose a third List fandom, or narrow down my choices. Last year I requested just Fred/Lilah -- thinking maybe Fred/Lilah or Joyce/any or Buffy/Willow or Tara/Fred, etc., proving my open-mindedness even though nothing is as hot as Fred/Lilah.
In Grey's, beyond the obvious (Callie/Erica and I haven't seen last night's episode yet but srsly, Callie/Erica!) there is Cristina/Erica, which happily fits ALL MY KINKS, and Bailey/any because Bailey is made of win, and ditto Addison because ADDISON. Especially Addison/Izzie or Addison/Bailey or Addison/Callie. I have so much ♥ for this show RIGHT NOW because GIRLS.
Mmm, nothing else from the List is really exciting me though. I mean, have standby pairings (Firefly: Kaylee/Inara or Kaylee/River, HP: McGonagall/Hermione, Patilcest, Ginny/Hermione, McGonagall/Rose Weasley WHAT you have your kinks I have mine!, SG-1: Sam/Janet), but.
Hm. Seems I could make 2 List requests and 3 Wildcard requests. Think may do that if not inspired in the meantime to e.g. watch Gossip Girl and fall in love with some pairing (that ten to one would not be Serena/Blair because honestly, me we're talking about; is my job to be totally skewed from rest of fandom!)
Anyhow, wildcard!
1. Definitely, definitely Ugly Betty!! &hearts so much. So many awesome female characters. Betty/Christina is OTP (best friends!), or Alexis/any. Hm. Maybe Suarecest (Suarezest?)
2. Peanuts - Marcie/Peppermint Patty. (What, reread cute, cute skating dress arc [Peppermint Patty demands that Marcie design a skating dress for her even though Marcie claims she cannot sew. Is SO HEART.] recently and really feel the need for this NOW.
Remaining Wildcard is a mystery! Could be BSC, could be Main Street, could be BSC RPF, could be folksinger RPF, could be Keeping Up Appearances (or KUA RPF), but minus BSC, likely no one would write these things.
Or could request crossover! Was totally sold on Clueless/Ugly Betty crossover a few weeks ago (Cher/Betty, Amber/Amanda, Cher/any, seriously, there is no lose here. Cher/Alexis. <3<3<3) but there's also old standbys like BtVS/FF (Kaylee/Fred, River/Dawn).
OR![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mina_de_malfois so I can demand Mina/Arc ♥ ten kinds of OTP.
Could drop Peanuts to leave room for Mina AND BSC but... I am so flaily! Will reuse most of these at Yuletide, too.
(Current Yuletide thought is Ann RPF, BSC, Main Street, and CA Diaries. An ANN QUADFECTA!)
Which reminds me, CA DIARIES for Femslash08! Sunny/Dawn, Jill/any, or Maggie/Amalia.
Why so difficult!
(I really must buy myself my icons again. I don't have my Buffy/Faith icon anymore! Woe!)

[in which I babble about River/Fred, Jack/Daniel, CJ/Tara, Willow/Xander, Fred/Kitty, River/Kaylee and CJ/Josh. Allusions through the whole run of Firefly, through S6 of BtVS, and through S5 of Angel. Also some hating on Simon/Kaylee in part 3, if that squicks you.]
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
Because you have really always wanted to hear me spaz for twenty minutes straight.
Ugh, I hate how clunky this is. The actual posts are way the frell backdated and hidden to protect the flist/frontpage from getting cluttered.

Last seen at the journal of alixtii.
Make a list of all the characters in your icons. (Although you may have more than one icon of a single character, they only go on the list once.) Alphabetize it. Take the first two people on the list; that's your first pairing. Second two people; second pairing. Etc. Then write your reaction to each pairing (or a snippet of a hypothetical fic featuring each pairing).
Last done here. I used last names then, so I'll use first names this time:
[spoilers for Serenity.]
( my favorite is the elaborate biblefic/Matilda crossover )

List the first five OTPs that come into your head, but preferably from different fandoms.
1. McKay/Weir [SGA]
2. Keith/Veronica [VMars]
3. McGonagall/Hermione [HP]
4. Willow/Giles [BtVS]
5. Kaylee/Fred [Jossverse]

that was never five minutes just now
Jan. 28th, 2007 02:17 amSo just for kicks I went through the Buffyverse fic index to count how many discrete pairings I'd written.
Um.
Um.
97.
Not including Buffyverse1000 stuff that never made it to this journal.
Um.
My name is Ari, and I have 97 true pairings.
(That is... that is 10% of Buffyverse1000, right here in my journal.)
Incidentally, the pairings I've written the most of? It's a tie. Between Giles/Willow and Fred/Kaylee, with 7 pieces each. Not that my fic-writing-habits in any way, shape, or form reveal anything else about me!

An easy meme for Halloween morning. (I am all dressed as a devil. How awesome am I?)
[From here. The relationships I OTP from these fandoms: VMars, tWW, HP, BSC. As the meme suggests, feel free to comment and ask why I do or don't 'ship something (though it's entirely possible the answer to "don't" is just "I forgot to list it".]
( otp to it to me )
I'm around for another half hour or so, then off! As usual I have an action-packed week ahead of me. Happy Halloween, Happy Tuesday, and if you're still wondering what toget write me for my birthday, the above list would be a great place to start. :) See you on the flipside,
Ari

otp fandom whoring meme.
1. Number One OTP that is truly THE ONE TRUE PAIRING (withstanding the test of time and fandom whoring): I would say McKay/Weir only SG:A is barely a year old so I don't know!
2. Your OTP today: Angel/Cordelia.
3. Baby’s first OTP: Frodo/Sam
4. That Rare Pairing that you Love: Which rare pairing that I love? Oh, fine. Fred/Tara.
5. OTP that you’d go to bat for in Wank Situation: I try to avoid wank, but Fred/Wesley is my baby that seems to need the most defending. Oh, and the tried and true "Sam and Daniel aren't siblings" discussion.
6. Number One Anti-OTP, the pairing you hate with a fiery passion: Did I mention I try to avoid wank?
7. Character you pair off with almost anyone: *cough* You want a list?
This is for rapid fire first OTP that comes to your head for each fandom, don't cheat!
Stargate: Daniel/Sam
Atlantis: Mckay/Weir
Firefly: Kaylee/Inara
Crossover: Kaylee/Fred
Other: [Farscape] John/Aeryn
I are have broken the writers' block by writing contrarian!fic. Oh fun.

what I really mean by "OTP"
Nov. 7th, 2004 07:15 amAm horrible person. Or perhaps just horrible challenge-responder type person.
First there was the attempt to write Wesley/Lilah that totally turned into Fred/Oz (still unfinished, by the way.)
And now I'm writing this backup fic for a ficathon (not the McKay one) and the request is totally for a certain het pairing involving Daniel and a female person who isn't Sam. And it's totally turned into a certain slash pairing that shall only be known as "Jack/Daniel."
*headdesk*
Also, I have this problem with my OTPs. I know, I don't have OTPs. I have lots of true pairings. But the thing is, they're all true. You know what I mean? If I'm writing a fic with Willow and Giles in it, regardless of what pairings it is, there's going to be feelings there. Willow has a crush on Giles. It's part of my unchangeable canon. Of course, W/T and W/O are also part of my unchangeable canon.
And I can't write Daniel/Sam where Daniel isn't also in love with Jack, and since I can't avoid the evil Canon Het, Sam's usually in love with Jack too.
And I bet if I tried to write Jack/Daniel, I'd have the same problem.
Clearly, I will never, ever be capable of writing genfic, and soon all my fic will turn into space operas more confusing than certain seasons of Angel.
Or possibly threesomes.
With that, GIP, and I think I'm going to sleep for a couple of hours before church. *headdesk*
I'm a bad influence on myself.
But no, wait, first: a list of pairings that will always be present in any fic of any length I write about the characters. Or, in other words, the loves that are part of my own personal canon:
( cut because, predictably, it's a long list )
Looking for the McKay Ficathon Masterlist? It's here.

I think I'm going to try to go back to sleep now, even though it's probably a shit idea.
