where is my mind?

I can't decide what to do with myself tonight. I kind of want to review something (I've pretty much been ignoring that project of late, I ODed a bit I think) I kind of want to write, but I'm not sure my muses are up for it. I ought to put in some NaNo prep stuff (a couple of my friends and I are planning on co-NaNoing this year but we need to do some character description set up so we can hit the ground running).


While I consider that I'll pull up an old stand by meme:

NAME A PAIRING FROM ANY OF MY FANDOMS (I don't have to like the pairing, I may never have considered it before, but name any pairing you like as long as I know the fandom!)

And I will ramble on about:
1. If I like it, or not.
2. Why I like it if I do.
3. What would make me like it if I don't.
4. If I'd write it/vid it.

Okay... Klaus/Elena. Or Klaus/Rebekah, take your pick.

Klaus/Elena

1. If I like it, or not.
I've never really given it much serous thought. It's obvious the show would never go there and they don't really have a have a relationship that resonates as shippy with me. That said, I'm willing to see it explored in fanfic provided it's screwed up and messy (aka in character).

2. Why I like it if I do.
I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say I like it even in a hypothetical. But I do think they have a very intense kind of chemistry as mortal enemies. Or I enjoy then having to interact in Elena/Elijah fic.

3. What would make me like it if I don't.
Well, I doubt I'd even like them exactly but since the show wouldn't go there anyway I don't feel like I'll ever have to. Like I said, in fic I can enjoy it if it's in character and complicated and messed up and mortal enemies with sexual tension-y. That's really about the only way I can enjoy it as a ship.

4. If I'd write it/vid it.
Well I once wrote Klaus/Elena/Elijah and have actually had a couple more ideas for that threesome sexy times. But aside from either cracky and/or OOC, or something with serious consent issues the only ways I'll write them are as mortal enemies (without sexusl tension because Klaus would rather hit on her ex and BFF) or awkward forced interaction through Elijah or maybe Stefan or Caroline if I was writing Klaus with one of them.


Klaus/Rebekah

1. If I like it, or not.
I like them, but it would be going pretty far to say I ship it. I can see the insesty undertones of it, but I can't say I exactly go for it.

2. Why I like it if I do.
I do like both characters and I think they have great chemistry that sometimes gets a little insesty and I don't mind that part of them I just don't really know what to do with it.

3. What would make me like it if I don't.
I enjoy it for what it is, but it'd pretty to imagine the show getting any more textual about it, which is okay and understandable. And I wouldn't want to lose the insesty subtext either. I don't know that anything would make me go out and search for Klaus/Becks fanworks, but I don't mind it being minor thing in works focusing on other things.

4. If I'd write it/vid it.
It's the kind of thing that lurks in my head any time I'm writing these characters, but I don't know that I'd ever do anything serious focusing on them.
