ladyofleithianI'll admit I skipped one of the questions. Yeah, I know, I'm sorry -- it's just where I feel comfortable. *Prays no one kills me*
Top 10 Shippings Overall
1. Anakin/Padme (of course. :P).
2. Elphaba/Fiyero from WICKED.
3. Nostalgia Critic/Nostalgia Chick. And no, it's not because they have the word "nostalgia" in their names. ;-) I just personally think they have some pretty flawless chemistry with one another. It's such a cliched term, "chemistry", but it's true. :)
4. Ariel/Eric, The Little Mermaid. I actually remember adoring this ship from my long ago childhood.
5. Beast/Belle, Beauty and the Beast. See above.
6. Aladdin/Jasmine, Aladdin.
7. Pocahontas/John Smith, Pocahontas.
8. Aang/Katara, Avatar The Last Airbender. (Yeah, go ahead and shoot me. XD)
9. Zuko/Katara, Avatar The Last Airbender.
10. Aragorn/Arwen, Lord of the Rings.
Top 5 Love Triangles/Threesomes
1. Anakin/Padme/Obi-Wan (as a threesome. Because honestly? Flawless OT3. Just flawless. :3).
2. Jedi Exile/Atton Rand/Darth Sion (as a love triangle).
3. Freddy/Nancy/Quentin, NOES 2010 remake (as a love triangle. *is one of the very, very few souls who actually liked the remake. It's not perfect, but it's definitely a very inventive way of reinventing the tale*).
4. Beren/Luthien/Morgoth, The Silmarillion (as a love triangle).
5. Sam/Quorra/Clu, Tron Legacy (love triangle).
Top 5 Canon Pairings
1. Luke/Mara -- not in the LOTF era, mind you, but in the Zahn era, etc. I just like the whole idea of hate turning into love.
2. Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who). Nine or Ten, doesn't really matter.
3. Wash/Zoe (Firefly)
4. Marius/Cosette (Les Miserables)
5. Eleventh Doctor/River Song (Doctor Who)
Top 5 "Not my favorite, but they're very nice alternate choices" Shippings
1. Luke/Callista. If not as lovers, at least as friends. :)
2. Obi-Wan/Padme. Not really my favorite per se, but I guess they could work. I'll admit I prefer them as pals, though.
3. Anakin/Obi-Wan.
4. Aragorn/Eowyn. Didn't like it at first, but now I'm starting to at least consider it.
5. Quasimodo/Esmeralda, Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney).
Top 5 "Wtf that makes no sense... but I LOVE it!" Shippings
1. Han/Mara. Sadly, I don't know if there's much fic for them.
2. Frodo/Boromir.
3. Martha Jones/Jack Harkness, Doctor Who.
4. Rose Tyler/Jack Harkness, Doctor Who.
5. Frollo/Esmeralda, Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney). Because it's incredibly sick and twisted, but at the same time, I think it has a lot of potential to be explored in fic. (I know, I know)
Top 5 "I just don't feel what everyone else is feelin'" Shippings
1. Nostalgia Chick/Todd. Something about it just...Squicks me a bit.
2. Martha/Ten, Doctor Who.
3. Jedi Exile/Bao-Dur, KOTOR II. Honestly, I just see them as pals, not lovers.
4. Belle/Gaston, Beauty and the Beast. I just don't think Gaston would be good for Belle, and that would be an Understatement.
5. Frollo/Belle (Beauty and the Beast/Hunchback of Notre Dame crossover. Not Making This Up.)
Top 5 "I hope these die" Shippings
1. TOR!Revan/Bastila (because I love Revan/Bastila -- the canon version -- and the TOR version just...horribly derails both their characters, IMHO).
2. Jedi Exile/Bao-Dur.
3. Belle/Gaston.
4. Patch/Nora, Hush Hush.
5. Ben/Vestara, Fate of the Jedi. It's a pity, really -- they had a lot of potential, and then...

Date: 2012-06-10 09:07 pm (UTC)Although let's be honest, I think the material's there. Especially in regards to Luthien enchanting Morgoth by...dancing for him. Plus, I'm a sucker for Hero/Heroine/Villain love triangles; I think KOTOR II actually jump-started it. :) (Exile/Atton/Sion)

Date: 2012-06-10 10:25 pm (UTC)Jedi Code/Obi-Wan is so canon, seriously.But that said, I say it has a lot of potential if done right -- and it does have some pretty good fanart out there. I know some of the wallpapers submitted for Obi-Wan Stillness were pretty good. :) That and Ewan and Nat goofing off behind the scenes is far too cute. :3
no subject
Date: 2012-06-10 10:29 pm (UTC)The pairing makes me cringe, seriously. That is, unless Anakin gets sandwiched between the two. :P

Date: 2012-06-10 10:43 pm (UTC)You know, it's kind of amusing when people assume that because a character is my #1 favourite, he automatically goes on top. Ehm... most of my favorites can't top a birthday cake in my book. :P

*Snrks*
Awesome metaphor is awesome. Seriously. :)
And yeah, I agree -- just because you like a character doesn't mean he always tops in your book. (Using the more general "you", that is. :)
no subject
Date: 2012-06-10 10:51 pm (UTC)Exactly. Too bad it's so difficult to find bottom!Anakin fics. That makes me depressed. :(

Date: 2012-06-10 10:36 pm (UTC)Or it works as an OT3, is you assume Obi-Wan lied through his teeth about someone's parentage. Which he does with surprising regularity...
no subject
Date: 2012-06-10 10:39 pm (UTC)And I'll admit I forgot to write that down, but Leia/Lando is also a good ship. :) As is Han/Luke, for that matter. :) (Speaking of which, I love the icon! :D)

*Chuckles again*
So true. XD (Sorry, Obi-Wan! XD)
no subject
Date: 2012-06-10 10:50 pm (UTC)I think a lot of this is actor subtext (Lindsy and Todd are dating, and are very cute together in real life XD) I hear you about their characters, though. They wrote themselves as being creepy and pathetic and stalkerish. I don't think some fans quite get that. XD
"5. Frollo/Belle (Beauty and the Beast/Hunchback of Notre Dame crossover. Not Making This Up.)"
Bluh? Where is that fic? Tell me, and I will spork it. >(
(Seriously, Gaston was a jerkass with a huge ego and a massive case of entitlement issues. Frollo was a jerkass with a massive case of entitlement issues and the belief that God Himself sanctioned his actions. Given how Gaston acts towards Belle, I shudder to think how *Frollo* would treat a woman who didn't meekly submit to her husband and be a Proper Lady)
"4. Patch/Nora, Hush Hush."
Ohhhhhh yes. Yes, yes, yes. >(
no subject
Date: 2012-06-10 11:21 pm (UTC)2. As for fic...well, if there's any fic out there to spork (which there is, without saying), I'll let you know. And definitely agreed regarding Frollo. He's pretty much Gaston times ten.
3. Seriously! Patch's behavior is pretty much serial killer-worthy to say the least. And probably worse.
no subject
Date: 2012-06-12 07:10 pm (UTC)I think that I may have seen a Frollo/Belle fanfic on Fanfiction.net. But I think that it was a Book!Frollo/Belle fanfic, not the Disney version of him. Still, the pairing is really bizarre.
3. That's why not only do I want the ship Patch/Nora to die in a fire, I want Patch himself to die in a fire (and Nora to get her brain and common sense back).

Well, that's kind of a relief. Book!Frollo is a lot less awful -- then again, considering that Disney!Frollo is a monument to awful...yeah. That said, Book!Frollo is more of a tragic villain -- Disney!Frollo has shades of it, but what he's done really makes it hard to feel sorry for the guy, if you know what I mean.
And I agree with you regarding Patch and Nora. Seriously.
no subject
Date: 2012-06-14 12:57 am (UTC)Oh ho ho, it would be unfair to lay it *all* on Patch by this point. Nora has devolved from a woobie with half a brain to a parody levels of psychotic clinginess. She's about a step below Belarus, from Axis Powers Hetalia. (And that girl wanted to marry her own brother!)
So yes, both of them can die quite painfully. ^_^

I'll admit my feelings regarding O/P are mixed, but I can definitely see where it can work. :) It's a pretty good pairing. :)
And so agreed regarding Luke and Mara! :D

Date: 2012-06-13 07:25 pm (UTC)(j/k!) I mean, I get what you mean, I just like the way their dynamic plays out, to be honest. Besides, I'm always a fan of a good, subtle ship instead of writing it in a blatant way... :P
