...okay, probably not by a long shot, but it's definitely hit a good chunk of my flist by now. I wanted to do it days ago, but today I actually have spare time to interact with the internet. (Vacation woo!)

Anyway. Most recently from

redbird, I think, if we're tracing the stack?

Pick a fandom of mine and I'll tell you my....

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
"When all is said and done" Ship:

This will be interesting. I am not sure how often I have anything like an OTP. ^^

Most of these have more than one pairing. Because the cast of Bleach is huge. ^_^;

One True Pairing Ship: Yoruichi/Soifon probably qualifies most for this one.
Canon Ship: ...Yoruichi/Soifon again? Or Ikkaku/Yumichika. Those are both totally canon. >_> ... okay, if I'm picking an actually explicitly stated ship, Orihime->Ichigo, because I wasn't shipping them at all and her goodbye nevertheless made me woob and cry a little.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: Um. Er. Oh! Nel/Nnoitra - I acknowledge that they have an interesting relationship, but all I want to see her do with him is kick his ass into next week.
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Szayel Aporro/Ishida/Renji.
"I dabble a little" Ship: Tatsuki/Orihime. Also many others, to lesser degrees.
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Ulquiorra/Orihime.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Man, there are a lot of these. Grimmjow/Orihime, Grimmjow/Ichigo, and Ichigo/Orihime all. Isshin/Ryuuken. Aizen/anyone. Others, I'm sure.
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Ishida/Renji? They have banter and stuff, though. I'm sure I can be more WTFish. Probably Kuukaku/Tatsuki. It makes sense in my head.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Anything with Byakuya. Probably Byakuya/Renji's the most popular of those. Also, Urahara/Yoruichi.
"When all is said and done" Ship: Not sure. Shunsui/Ukitake, maybe. They have clearly been together for more than a century. Or Ishida/Ichigo, which was my first Bleach pairing.

:D Some time I will play through this game again, and then my opinions might change.

One True Pairing Ship: Raul/the sound of his own voice. ^^
Canon Ship: Azel->Calintz. ^^ Also Rianna/her husband.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: Um. Calintz/Reith in the early game in any explicit way? >_>
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Not sure I have one! Will have to remedy this, perhaps.
"I dabble a little" Ship: Rianna/Raul, lately. Orha/Calintz, a while ago.
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Agreian/Calintz.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Orha/Serina.
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Raul/Calintz.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Um. Is there an "everyone" in this fandom?
"When all is said and done" Ship: Raul/anyone. ^^;

	Apparently the fandom is large enough for ship wars! Or so I was told by the barely-literate person that chewed me out on FF.net for writing Orha/Serina angst. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm pretty sure it was Orha/Amila vs. Orha/Serina. It was hard to tell. The gist was that...

...SPOILERS FOR MAGNA CARTA GO HERE...

...nobody cares about Amila's stupid sister Reith (when in fact I was writing about Serina...) because she's just a dumb bitch who should've died anyway and it's not cruel of Amila to let her live. To which I say "yes, you can kill her or you can lock her up for the next eighty years and neither of these options is more or less cruel than the other, really."

END MAGNA CARTA SPOILERS

(Ahem, spoiler-marking for folk like

laylah who might not have got there yet...)

But yeah, our fandom is big enough for character bashing and ship hate! Who knew?

...Well, I have been busy, but I read it, and it is not my pairing, I suppose, but I suspect that's just because lack of interaction with anything like a fandom has left me fuzzy on the relevant backstory. And it was Magna Carta fic, and well written and bittersweet, and I totally meant to leave you a comment because the fandom is tiny.

So yes. EPIC FAILURE on my part. >_>

One True Pairing Ship: See, I want to say "both Akihiko/Shinjiro and Akihiko/Mitsuru" for this one, but that's pretty much the opposite of "One True Pairing", huh? So I guess I don't have one.
Canon Ship: Junpei/Chidori. :D
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: ... Akihiko/Yukari, maybe? It would depend on the circumstances.
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Shadows/anyone.
"I dabble a little" Ship: I suppose Yukari/Mitsuru, from recent evidence.
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Takaya/Jin.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Yukari/Aigis. >_> more people need to play The Answer so I stop looking insane.
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Akihiko/Metis.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Akihiko/Junpei. I have mentioned to you, I think, that the only time I wanted this to happen a bit was in November, but it would be full of darkness and broken. >_>
"When all is said and done" Ship: Akihiko/Shinjiro/Mitsuru. ^^

One True Pairing Ship: Uh. Er. ...Not in this fandom.
Canon Ship: Claire/Chane. Also Nice/Jacuzzi.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: Everyone else has gone with Szilard/someone, which I of course agree with. But I'll say Huey/Chane as something I really don't want to see that I think someone might actually do. >_>
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Dallas/Eve I guess *fails at sick bastard originality?*
"I dabble a little" Ship: Firo/Luck, maybe?
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Ladd/Graham! Except Graham would get upset if the car crashed before he got to dismantle it. ^_^ ohgod I need to finish that story
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Hm. Ladd/Lua, maybe? I've seen interesting things done with them, but they still don't really click together in my head.
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Rachel/Luck. ^^; I need to finish that story too.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: I don't think I have one? ...Before episodes 14-16 Claire/Chane might have gone here, honestly, because people's squee over them was much disproportionate to mine. But the extra episodes won me over so hard, especially with how they ended it ♥
"When all is said and done" Ship: Isaac/Miria. They are steadfast for eternity. Someday I will write them. I swear. possibly with Jacuzzi ^^;

One True Pairing Ship: Guy/Luke, of course. :D
Canon Ship: Does Peony/Jade count as canon? ...okayfine Asch/Natalia
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: ...Jade/Anise?
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Van/Tear, clearly, that being the one full-length thing I've written for the fandom so far.
"I dabble a little" Ship: Jade/Guy, though not so much recently
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Asch/Luke
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Legretta/Tear, maybe?
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: ... ... ... I will have to work on this.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Van/Luke, probably. I am willing to be convinced, but I feel like Luke's too oblivious and without agency for this pairing to hit my kinks properly.
"When all is said and done" Ship: Guy/Luke some more.

*nod* I think my problem with Van/Luke is that I have trouble seeing Van doing it. Like -- he's a clever human, and I think he could manage to get the same kind of psychological responses out of Luke without having to actually go through the motions. And why would he want to go through the motions, when he knows that Luke is [spoiler spoiler]?

...I, uh, apparently go for Van/Asch in a big way, though. ^^;

also I think Peony/Jade totally counts as canon.
also Jade/Dist, which always makes me a little D: on Dist's behalf, ridiculous as that is.

One True Pairing Ship: anyone/Balthier. s'totally an OTP. >_>
Canon Ship: FFXII does not have your "canon ships." ...Drace/Gabranth closest, probably.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: Uh.
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Ba'Gamnan/Balthier, from recent evidence. :D
"I dabble a little" Ship: Aside from anyone/Balthier? Maybe Venat/Cid.
"It's like a car crash" Ship: ... Vossler/Ashe?
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: I don't think there are any of these. By this point I have either been sold or won't be. ^^;
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Basch/Penelo, from my own head. Also

sheffiesharpe's Gabranth/Vossler.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Probably anything with Vayne. I don't mind him, but he's not a character I get excited about.
"When all is said and done" Ship: Fran/Balthier. They are sticking around, it seems.
