List the first five OTPs that come into your head.
1. Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who)
2. Buffy/Giles (BtVS)
3. Guy/Marian (Robin Hood)
4. Mulder/Scully (X-Files)
5. Rose/Daniel (Doctor Who/SG1)


1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1?
"I could save the world but lose you." I was a goner from that line forward. What was that April 2006? About a month after I started watching the series. I saw it before that, but that was the moment I fell in love and have been pretty much continuously so since

2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5?
Oh crack crossover ship of mine. I don't know, somewhere around late season 2 on my mad dash through SG1 I started wondering what would happen if the two of them met, compared romantic angsts, and then fell in love themselves. Of course eventually this lead to me having an entire AU SG1 (and some SGA) in my head which I adore that lets me imagine years of their relationship as a background character ongoing plot of the show as it actually exists. Gives me lots of canon tweaking ideas though it totally doesn't work with DW S4 canon but it was never going to.

3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3?
Most of "Walkabout" is totally kickass for this couple, but "Without her my world may as well turn to ash" through the look on Marian's face when Guy comes back is just amazing. He can be a hero, he just...needs to know it himself.

4. What will the ship be if you take the boy from ship 2 and the girl from ship 1 and mesh them? If one or both of the ships are slash, then pick and choose.
Doctor/Buffy, oh there's some serious emo possibilities there, but also many awesome possibilities and guaranteed world saving with quips.

5. Vise versa.
Rose/Giles, not really shippy for me, they're both way too in love with other people but it would be cool for them to meet.

6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4?
Umm...(thinks HARD) right now I'm just going to write down the IWTB movie since it's fresh on my mind and even then I'm not sure which is my favorite moment out of it.

7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3?
A few months, I was slow watching season 1 and into early season 2, and it was a bit into season 2 before I really shipped them. But after some week I hit "For England!" where, somehow between the serious crack of fights over boiling tar pots and reminding us that Will is "Good with wood" there was some seriously wonderful Guy/Marian moments that even my anti bad boy heart couldn't resist any longer (probably because it showed Guy *trying* to be good too).

8. When did you start shipping ship number 4?
Um...about ten minutes into my first X-files episode, I couldn't tell you what it was but I'm sure I was shipping during it.

9. Take three random people from three of the ships and create an OT3?
Giles/Scully/Daniel brainiacs all of them, smart, pretty, and kickass group.

10. Rank your OTPs in order.
Doctor/Rose
Mulder/Scully
Buffy/Giles
Guy/Marian
Rose/Daniel

I have never thought of Rose/Daniel but it's kinda brilliant. He's got so much random knowledge and she absolutely adores learning things. They're both adventurous. He would admire her quick thinking and she'd love listening to him talk (and he would be very impressed by how much of his random rambling that she would remember later). She'd take him out of his dusty office and get him to have fun.

They just seemed so...well suited to each other. He's a lot like the Doctor but not exactly. And she's smart but always willing to learn more, and kind of an outsider too. And the whole "My wife was taken by the Goa'uld"/""Separated from the man I love by alternate universes" understanding they'd share. Similar things are important to them in the grand scheme of things and they're ways of thinking seem like they would fit well together.

It partially started as a new way for Rose to explore the universe through the Stargate universe, but I also just think they really mesh well.

I kinda want to read Buffy/Doctor now.

They're kind of brilliant together, they save the world...a lot. Not sure I see them as shippy either, but they should totally meet.
