Date: 2012-08-31 07:24 pm (UTC)Ron/Luna (HP) - I didn't really consider it until it kept showing up as a beta pairing in H/Hr fic, and for a while I just rolled my eyes and went with it as long as it wasn't written too badly. But at some point along the line I realized I actually could see it for myself.
Buffy/Willow (BtVS) - It didn't occur to me, but one of the communities I was in while in Buffy fandom had a guy who was pretty passionate about the ship and he convinced me to consider it. It's still isn't my primary ship for either of them (about third choice for Buffy (who I ship don't ship with any of her canon love interests) and forth for Willow (who I love almost all of her canon love interests)), but I could definitely have been happy with it.
Elena/Elijah TVD) - I hadn't consciously gotten there by the end of s2 (though I'm pretty sure the seeds were there) but between you and some well chosen DG quotes I got it and now...well you know.
17 - A ship you’ve abandoned and why.
Peter/Clarie (heroes) - I did eventually have to let show's TPTB win in killing this ship. I couldn't kill the fact that they had hot inappropriate chemistry, but it could make me not really ship it.
While I haven't quite abandoned it just yet, Elena/Matt (TVD) in on the brink. If they find a way to undo this vamp Elena thing I'll still hold out hope for these two. But if Elena is a vampire I have to let this go, because a) I can't ship vamp-Elena/human or Matt/vampire b) the fact that I held on to them so long was really an extension of my Elena/humanity desire and c) with vamp-Elena I'm going to have nothing holding me back from making E/E my OTP (yes, up to now I've been holding back).
18 - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.
I don't think anyone else seriously ships my crossover OTP Rose Tyler/Daniel Jackson (DW/SG1). Oh most people I mention it to who know both characters are like "...you know I can see that" but I don't think anyone else actually *ships* it.
(Also note my Elena/Matt feelings already discussed)

Oh, and I agree with you so much on Peter/Claire. They had chemistry, but the familial relationship ruined it.

Date: 2012-08-31 07:53 pm (UTC)I don't even know if it was them being related that killed Peter/Claire for me, I think it was more to do with fatigue from the show's decent into mediocrity so I just didn't care any more, especially to try and fight canon to make it work.
(Although I'm still pretty sure there are ways to unrelate them if you want to, Brother's and Sisters did it after all.)
