So, baseball is done for a few months, now the extent of my interest in sport can hibernate for the winter, there's not even the Olympics to break it up. Oh well Royals, I was rooting for you, but you got outplayed in the end, if my Rockies are so disappointing again next year I'll be back to pay attention to you guys again.

And now back to fandom...with some more talk about AoS and the larger MCU.

( Spoilers for the Age of Ultron trailer, the future Marvel projects announcement and AoS 2x06 )

Resurrecting a meme (also my ship list has changed some I’m sure)

Name your 10 absolutely favourite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

(So as to avoid playing favorites beyond making this list, ships are alphabetized by show)

1. Alex/Gene (Ashes to Ashes)
2. Sheridan/Delenn (B5)
3. Buffy/Giles (BtVS)
4. Castle/Beckett (Castle)
5. Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who)
6. Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter)
7. Guy/Marian (Robin Hood)
8. Elena/Elijah (TVD)
9. Mulder/Scully (X-Files)
10. Daniel/Rose (SG1/DW)

Okay, so I’m being talkative today, let’s do a writing update.

1) To Weather the Storm looks like it’s going to be the start of a series, I’ve written the first draft of a sequel story and am working on ideas for what to do next (some of it’s obvious, since my muses have decided there needs to be more plot in what was already porn with plot, but I need to work out what all will be in it).

Here, have a sample:

2) vd_kink continues to supply me with inspirations, not that I was at a loss for them anyway (anyone remember how I had that post 3x17 fic I wanted to write and haven’t done anything with since about the time 3x18 aired?)

Well, I want to talk about a couple of the ones I’m trying to write. ( Why can't I just write easy PWP for kink fills? )

3) Things I'm not doing: working on my 100 drabbles of summer (I think I have like 4 done). Also not vidding, but vid muses are starting to get antsy and telling me I really DO want to do some of that (not that I'm arguing with them, just haven't been feeling the drive).


However, here’s the second draft of the unfulfilled shipping meme. Better? Worse? Still needs work?

( *31* days of unfulfilled shipping )

I amuse myself sometimes with truly random projects. Tonight's example:

I thought I might add a second project to my 100 blog posts idea and hit on the idea of 'Hmm I wonder if I could do 100 ships?' and while I probably could it quickly devolved into 'Can I think of 100 ships from one show?' So I took TVD and started listing, canon ships, fanon ships, pure crack ships that my mind connects together. I haven't gone so far as just any two regulars or semi-regulars that have ever shared a scene together, I have to have some reason why my mind went there. It's not always things I like (if I can get enough to do this I'll talk about those I do and do not like) but I'd like to have something to talk about it.

I'm at 75. This show is so shippable that without a ton of work I got to 75.

That's too many to give up now, there's got to be 25 more that I'm not thinking of right now. So feel free to suggest ones I might have missed (it's entirely possible I'm forgetting some canon ones, depending on your definition of canon especially), or your own ship ideas that I might want to include.

Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

You all know I like a lot of TV right? And I like character relationships a lot, and shipping. So go ahead and ask me things Please.

Snagged from various people around, and I would like it know from the start that a large portion of all these lists are highly subject to change depending on my mood at any given time.

Top 10 Ships Overall
Top 5 Love Triangles/Threesomes
Top 5 Canon Pairings
Top 5 "Not My Favorite, But They're Very Nice Alternate Choices" Ships
Top 5 Cross-Generation Ships
Top 5 "I Just Don't Feel What Everyone Else Is Feeling" Ships
Top 5 "I Hope These Die" Ships
Top 5 Crossover Ships

( The lists )

Just a few comments on some of the match-ups at ship_manifesto

( Sure I could go back and comment on some of the older matchups, but for now I’m only commenting on the going ones )

So, thanks to corrielle bringing it up, I've spent this evening reading Kirk/McCoy fanfic.

( Star Trek, thoughts on shipping/fandoming/etc. )

So this involve the 50_lovequotes list of, well love quotes.

1) You name me a couple and I will find the three quotes that I like the most in relation it it
and/or
2) You give me a number between 1-50 and I will name the three ships that to me fit that quote the best.

Come on people, you know how I love memes and ships.
