salineaA.) Your current OTP.
Xavier/Magneto
B.) A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind.
Pretty much any Harry Potter pairings fit in there, since I didn't really consider them until I read fanfics that pulled me in. Snape/Lupin being the first fanfic that dragged me into the fandom, let's make it my answer.
C.) A pairing you have never liked and probably never will.
Snape/Lily
D.) A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
I vaguely feel this way about Magneto/Rogue.
E.) Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what stupid crack.
"Mpreg Clow Card"
F.) What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
ASOIAF, 12 years. Although I'm starting to feel like the TV show will be the death toll of that.
G.) Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it.
... hard to say. You know how you can look back to old stuff you like as a kid and realise "oh, actually I kind of slashed them but I didn't know what slash was at the time so I wasn't aware of it but i ttly was intrigued and into their relationship?' I get that a lot. But, at the same time, I can't remember a romantic relationship I was all that obsessed from when I was a kid. So, no, I guess I can't say I remember.
H.) Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series?
I love text first, then sequential art & animation; and then liveaction.
I.) Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why.
Never completely, but sometimes it does make it harder to like it. Bashers of ships and characters especially do get to me; much as I'd rather ignore them. Also collectively, I think the general emptiness and badness of anime/manga series fanfics is one of the thing that drove me away from this fandom. Especially for series like Pandora Hearts.
J.) Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr the internet.
Avatar the Last Airbender would be the main one I'd never have checked if not for some hyping and which I loved the most.
K.) How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom.
My current fandom being comics & Marvel movies fandom; errrr, it is a very heterogenous fandom at present. There are some people who are young and enthusiastic, sometimes in a rather hyperbolic way although many of them are very cute; there are some people who are blaséed and a little bit condescending, sometimes in a very witty way; and there are some excellent writers and some terrible ones; and some people who aren't as interested into comics as I wished they were, but that's totally their prerogative not to. Look, I hadn't meant to get myself into the lattest big, hyped fandom - it just happened this way because of my reading comics. I feel a bit weird about it. There are some cool very people though, both old and new to me; and that's the most I can ask for any fandom (also: being active).
L.) Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for.
Huh.busaikko, can you write me an epic Ivan/By fanfic of doom; with plotty goodness as well as the sort of breathtaking characterisation work you do?
M.) Your favorite fanart or fanartist.
shit, i don't know.
N.) Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor.
I just namedbusaikko, I guess?
O.) Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of.
How do you even choose a song at random?
P.) Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
This just crossed my mind so: Mad Men as cookie cutter AU.
Q.) A ship you’ve abandoned and why.
I think Buffy/Spike is the only ship I ever really fell out of love with.
I'm not sure which was really to blame for it, Seeing Red, or Spike's characterisation after that.
R.) A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.
anyone else? Those are hard to come through. OKay, maybe Haggard/Unicorn.
*waits to be proven wrong*
S.) Show us an example of your personal headcanon.
I don't do headcanon a whole lot. (In fact I'm starting the hate the phrase as memes keep asking for it and it keeps making me feel stupid and lacking in imagination).
Saionji's mother was domestically abused by his father.
T.) If you mostly have same sex ships, do you have any het ships.
Yes. Zuko/Azula for example.
U.) If you mostly have het ships, do you have any same sex ships.
I don't think I apply.
V.) Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping.
Nope. No shipping required. I don't ship anyone on The Wire. Or Mad Men.
W.) 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms.
Deadpool
Helena Bertinelli
Anthy
Damien Vryce
Kalinda
X.) 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms.
Balder/Loki, Fakir/Ahiru, Seishirou/Subaru
Y.) A fandom you’re in but have no ships from.
... Legend of Korra, I guess? Does it count as being in the fandom if you're not reading fics, only reading discussions though?
Z.) Just ramble about something fan-related, gggo.
I'm sometimes taken by impulse of trying to draw a comparison between Suzaku/Lelouch & Xavier/Magneto ( & perhaps Shion/Nezumi for good measure) as pairings of characters where both characters are contrasted on political issues along a cynicism/pragmatism vs idealism/peacefulness also stuff about showmanship and melodrama and ruthlessness and twists. I dunno, perhaps I'd need to add a few more pairings for it too.

(Totally random question - have you by any chance joined the Tag Wrangling volunteers at the AO3?))

Date: 29 May 2012 02:36 am (UTC)I would, too!! The closest i can think of is Melisande/Phèdre, but there's very little emphasis on ideological disagreement as such.

Nope. Been considering, but between comicstore_news and scans_daily I figure my plate is full as far as fandom organisation commitment go.
