Thief thief! You stoles it from me! *shakes fist*

Ooooo I almost put House/Wilson on mine but I ran out of space. Plus I tend to not be so slashy mcslasherson but I just looooove the House/Wilson dynamic.

I of course recognize the strong woman/asshole type pairings you have in common with me. Psst, you don't write any Vmars fic do you?

[aisalynn.livejournal.com]

Their dynamic is just so great isn't it?

Yeah I know, I wasn't too much of a slasher when I first got into fanfiction, and then... I just was. *shrugs* I don't know. My ships tend to either be filled with a lot of tension/hate/self-destruction, or have a best friend dynamic to them and I guess a lot of those slash couples had them.

Sorry, I've only seen the first two seasons of Veronica Mars (And I was totally shipping those two from like, the first episode. I think that is a good example of the tension/hate thing going on there) so I haven't even read much fanfiction for it, at the fear of being spoiled.

Heh, other than a few fandoms I'm not in, we have very very similar shipping tastes. (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, & 8)

I guess I'd say there's a common theme of balancing out opposities.

[aisalynn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd say we do. :) Balancing out opposites? I think that's definitely true.

Well, I've always thought that Spike/Buffy and Veronica/Logan had a similar vibe: a sort of bitch versus jackass sort of thing going on, you know? (Jareth/Sarah might have a bit of this going on as well. But it's been ages since I watched that movie and mostly what I remember is DAVID BOWIE IN TIGHT PANTS! Oh, and muppets.)

And I haven't watched House in a while, nor have I ever really thought much about Mal/Simon as a pairing, but they might have a similar vibe, as well--like House/Wilson is a more extreme version of the cynical sort-of-rebel/conscientious doctor pairing?

But other than that, I'm not seeing any trends.

Hmmm.. I wouldn't call Sarah a bitch, and though Jareth could definitely be a jackass, I think that one more falls under the category of bright eyed but determined young girl and older and more cynical man. Cain/DG would be the same, though the dynamic is very different what with them not being enemies and all. :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Well, like I said, I haven't seen it in years (though I loved it when I did), so I'm certain you're right. I just seemed to remember Sarah being a bit selfish at the beginning (though I remember her growing a lot and loving it), so I think that's why I stuck them in that category.

Cain/DG would be the same See, I know nothing about them which is why that category hadn't occurred to me. Very interesting insights, though!
