I meant to post this last night while I was desperately trying to fill out the white pages of my dreaded Word doc but turns out I was distracted from my procrastination by actually being inspired. A tiny bit. So I'm posting it today because I'm certain that I'll need the distraction at one point.

If you're bored or enjoy fannish meme, be my guest? Pick a number and I'll try to answer it. (I've tweaked a couple of questions and decided to go with the changes made by some of you)

1 - Your current OTP-s.
2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind.
3 - A pairing you wish more people wrote.
4 - A het pairing you enjoy.
5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
6 - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
7 - Do you remember your first OTP? If so who was in it?
8 - Do you prefer FPS to RPS?
9 - Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms? If so, which and why?
10 - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr your social network sites.
11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom?
12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request. What do you ask for?
13 - Your favorite fanart or fanartist.
14 - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor.
15 - Choose a song at random. Which OTP does it remind you of?
16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
17 - A ship you’ve abandoned and why.
18 - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.
19 - Show us an example of your personal headcanon.
20 - Do you remember what your first fanwork was?
21 - Self-rec: What's your favorite fanwork you've created?
22 - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping?
23 - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms.
24 - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms.
25 - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from.
26 - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go.

Also, nothing to do with the rest (well, I'm sure I could insert some White Collar somewhere in my answers) but there's a vid I've tremendously enjoyed recently and in case you haven't seen it, I'm sharing the link: We Didn't Start the Fire, White Collar Style but with the added originality that a) the lyrics have been made up by noiproksa and b) she sings the song herself. Those lyrics are absolutely brilliant and the way she edited the clips she selected to have them match is pure genius. Aka I Love That Vid. Hopefully you will too :-)

3?

At the moment it's Isaac/Scott from Teen Wolf. I've made my peace with the fact that Derek will always be paired with Stiles but I wish more people got into Isaac/Scott. Though, to be honest, I've seen more and more of that pairing lately so there is hope.

I wish there were more Klaus/Stefan from The Vampire Diaries too. From a slasher's POV, season 3 is just heaven as far as those two are concerned, why is the fandom not all over them? :-(

And I wish there were more Erik/Charles/Logan as well! I just can't resist the image of Erik and Logan all over Charles and fucking him in the mattress, all rough and feral but always protective and loving and just driving a very willing Charles completely wild #HappySigh

12 and/or 19!

I'll go with #19 to make amend for always picking that question for others even though I know it's a tough one.

So, headcanon. Hmm. It is a tough one, damn lol Right, ok, I think I have one. I believe that Jessica and Harvey in Suits are both doms and that Jessica is the one who taught Harvey everything he knows. I believe she was his Domme for a while before letting him loose in the BDSM world, ready to take on his own sub. And whenever he really needs it, he goes back to her so that he can relish control for a couple of hours...

9 et 24

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I just love how #9 is phrased ; "has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms". Guess the meme likes to sugarcoat thing a little, eh?

Well, the internet has never caused me to stop liking a fandom, no. People on the internet, on the other hand, have caused me to not feel any real attachment to a fandom, that is true.

Lately, for instance, I admit that the Teen Wolf fandom is not really endearing itself to me. I have issues with entitlement and I know that many fandoms are guilty of it but atm I feel like the TW fandom is really busy being Entitled On The Internet and I can't help it, it grates on my nerves a little.

As for the 3 OTPs in three different fandoms, I'll go with:

XMFC: Erik/Charles
White Collar: Peter/Neal
Inception: Eames/Arthur

But I'm pretty sure you already knew that :-p

[jedicathy.livejournal.com]

people on the intenet are such a pain in the ass sometimes :p

Anyway, I thought you would have said Nasir and Agron in 3rd, I had forgotten about Eames and Arthur lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I think I just need to remember to stay on my flist where there is minimum drama and I can enjoy all my fandoms well enough.

Ha, so I did surprise you \o/ I could have added so many pairings omg! Picking just three was quite difficult. In the end, I decided to go with the three OTPs I'd recently read.

15 please *bats eyelashes*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Brothers on a Hotel bed by Death Cab for Cutie, which is forever associated with Sam and Dean from Supernatural.

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! And so fitting too *hg*

#17

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. Well. Jim/Blair, I guess. I feel like a traitor even writing this answer but I can't deny the fact that I haven't read anything involving those two in so long that I don't even remember when the last time was.

I couldn't even tell you why I stopped reading TS. I don't remember. I also don't remember deciding to stop being involved in that fandom. It just happened? I still believe those two are the ultimate OTP, mind, but I've lost the urge to read about their life years ago.

Of course, now that I've written that comment you can be sure I'm going to suddenly feel like re-reading some old favourites!

Derek/Scott in Teen Wolf. Basically, 99,99% of the fandom is into Derek/Stiles and Derek/Scott is not even part of the 0,01% left lol

But I can't help but think that this is a pairing that fandom should be all over: Derek is obsessed with the idea of having Scott in his pack and it has been said, ie it is canon, that Scott is Derek's heart! It makes me so sad that no-one sees - much less likes - Derek/Scott :-/

But it's ok, though, because now I ship Isaac/Scott and, miracle of miracles, there is fic! Like, a dozen? But still, fic!

[carodee.livejournal.com]

I don't personally mind Derek/Stiles AT ALL, but I'll ship Derek with anybody that'll make the poor boy happy. During season one, Scott and Allison were too sweet together for me to believe them separated, but season two? Hellzya! Scott is such a loyal, focused lover that he would be good for Derek, but Isaac works too.

I think Scott is simply too decent and easily happy a guy for fandom to find him ficcable. Where is the angst and man pain? The tragic past? The hint of danger? The fact that he's just a genuinely good guy isn't dramatic enough but, you are so right, he would be good for Derek. Anyone looking at him would think he didn't have a deceptive bone in his body. *g* Ha! Fooled you, Gerard! But Derek's wounded betrayal was delicious angst.

I bet there'll be some hiatus fic though. There's too many writers in the fandom right now and at least some of them will want to carve out different niches.

25, please. I much prefer this meme now it's been changed a bit.

Also, yay for productivity.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Er, now that I think of it, I can't answer that question. I usually associate fandom with 'reading fic' and if I read fic it means I'm in love with a pairing, so...

I do watch shows without shipping the characters but I don't have any fandoms I'm in but have no ships from.

Merci pour le lien de la vid WC, elle est géniale !

[castalie.livejournal.com]

De rien ! Et je ne sais pas si tu as vu mais la viddeuse - er, ça rend pas tout à fait pareil en français lol - a fini part tweeter le lien à Jeff Eastin et il a beaucoup apprécié son travail, il lui a même répondu #TropChou

Ah, c'est cool, ça. :-)

21 and 23?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm hesitating between my TS Night series' verse and my Merlin fic... My Night 'verses has more flaws that
Virescit Vulnere Virtus has but I managed to create the verse I wanted and it's always a great feeling when you achieve that.

As for Virescit Vulnere Virtus, whenever I re-read it - which isn't that often but I do it sometimes - I think to myself 'yes, this is a very good story'. Again, a very nice feeling to have when going back to a story you wrote yourself :-)

Supernatural: Dean
White Collar: Neal
XMFC: Charles
Bandom: Brendon
Spartacus: Nasir

I know, shocking. NOT lol
