Meme attempt take two!
Okay, first. I did make bacon chocolate cupcakes all those weeks ago! I only put bacon on top. They were tasty but not as OMGAMAZING as I thought they would be.
Next: If anyone wants an invite to Archive of Our Own let me know! Or if you know someone who might want one.
Hmmm... basically my life lately has consisted of reading, video games, trying to stop myself from deal hunting on ebay, hanging out with awesome PW people (there was a big party for Dànielle yesterday to celebrate her being made a full Professor and her service as director of PW -- since Laura is director this year), hanging out with other awesome people... Cooking a bit (made french onion soup a few times this week -- yum!). So yep. Nothing terribly interesting to report.
So now I will start yet another 30-day meme and see if I can finish this one. I will warn in advance that I'm going to allow myself to update this randomly (and play catch up in most cases) since with the last one it was hard to count down the month like this. :p
Day 01 - What is your current favourite ship
This is tough 'cause at any given time I'm usually really excited about a particular ship in a particular fandom (while still dabbling in other things of course). I haven't felt the pull of obsession for anything since I read The Princess of Gryffindor, which is a really excellent dark fic revolving around SSHG and has a lot of strategizing going on that made me excited.
As of last night I was in the mood for Sarek/Amanda from Star Trek. For me they're probably the most interesting TOS/AOS canon couple because there is a lot of wiggle room in fic to come up with how they got together and made things work. Last night I reread
igrockspocks well done Logic Demands That You Take Off That Ridiculous Hat...
While I'm at it I think I'll also do day 2:
Day 02 - What was your very first ship?
This question is tough because I've always beena bit ofa hopeless romantic. I've buried it more and more under a surface of sarcasm over the years but that part of me definitely still exists. So, I'm pretty sure I shipped whatever the canon couple was in anything I watched as a child.
My first OTP was probably Misty/Ash or Batman/Catwoman when I was in middle school. Batman/Catwoman sounds way better though so I'm going to go with them.
This meme may be a bit tame 'cause I've stuck with the same couple of ships pretty consistently in terms of level of attachment. I will try to mention some of the more obscure things I've read/watched/etc.
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?
Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?
Day 12 - Who had the best wedding?
Day 13 - What is your favorite television pairing?
Day 14 - What is your favorite book pairing?
Day 15 - What is your favorite real life pairing?
Day 16 - What is the absolute worst pairing?
Day 17 - A pairing you thought would never work out, but did?
Day 18 - What is the cutest pairing?
Day 19 - A pairing you've rooted for since the beginning?
Day 20 - The "can't stand the sexual tension anymore" pairing?
Day 21 - A pairing you like and no one else understands why?
Day 22 - A pairing you hate and no one else understands why?
Day 23 - A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out great?
Day 24 - A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out badly?
Day 25 - A pairing that was/would-be adorable, but could never work out?
Day 26 - A pairing that you hated and ended up loving?
Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?
Day 28 - A pairing that you will never understand?
Day 29 - What ship had the best proposal?
Day 30 - Your favorite ship forever and ever and ever?
Anyone else absolutely despise the new tagging system?
