Bolt of Blue

Snagged from Val via Ryka:

What is your One True Pairing?
This is a difficult question since there are many pairings that I ship. Movie wise I’d go with Celine/Jesse from the Before Sunrise/Sunset movies. Book wise I’d go with Lyra/Will from His Dark Materials. As for TV, there have been so many. A favorite is Jackie/Hyde from That 70′s Show. Overall though, I have to go with Michael/Maria from Roswell. I’m still shipping that couple… their love story was passionate, funny, emotional, real, and so sweet to watch. I can’t get enough even now. I still read and write fan fiction… plus now that the show is on DVD, I can rewatch my favorite scenes whenever I need an escape.

What is your “guilty pleasure” pairing?
Obi-Wan/Padme. I know it’s not something that will ever happen in the movies but I’ve read some fan fiction that is really well done. I like the idea of this pairing even if I know it’s not logical.

What is one pairing you absolutely refuse to ship?
Pacey/Joey from Dawson’s Creek, Rory/Jess from Gilmore Girls, and Felicity/Noel from Felicity. Oh, and Angela/Brian from My So-Called Life. The series finale of Dawson’s Creek does not exist to me. That show ruined characters when it started off so promising. Gilmore Girls did the same with Dean, the writers completely ignoring the character they wrote in season 1. It’s still painful to see what they have done since then. I never bought into Felicity being with anyone but Ben. And Angela had no sparks with Brian. Ever. It was all about Jordan Catalano.

What is one pairing you’re interested in, but don’t ship?
Maybe John/Aeryn from Farscape since Val has talked them up so much. Or maybe Buffy/Spike. I was always intrigued by that but never really watched Buffy much.

What is one pairing you used to ship, but don’t any more?
Okay, I’m dating myself with this one but have to go with Brenda/Dylan from 90210. I liked them a lot at first. But then Kelly and Dylan’s romance came along and changed everything. Otherwise, I can’t really think of any couple I used to love and don’t anymore. Even till the bitter end, no matter how messed up the writers made the show, I still loved Dawson/Joey. Season 1 of Dawson’s Creek is the only season that really matters.

What is one pairing you could be convinced to ship if it was done properly?
Possibly Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione from Harry Potter. The thought of both couples bores me completely. I’m much more interested in a Harry/Hermione pairing especially in the movies where they have such chemistry. But right now, the obvious pairings just seem too predictable and boring to me. Plus I’m not really a big fan of Ginny or Ron.
