Wtf: Memed-y Memed-y

[black_sluggard]

Stolen from mb_jazz_freak87.

A - Your current OTP
Kevin Ryan/Javier Esposito from Castle.

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
Steve Rodgers/Tony Stark. I'm not a Marvel fan, but I found one fic where the plot (something not-totally-AU with vampires) drew me in, and I've just seen it ever since.

C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
Esplanie. I don't care who writes it, I don't care how well it is written. I don't care if there are wonderful, amazing, spectacular off-genre things going on that I would otherwise be drooling about. The pairing inspires a real, physical reaction—like gastrointestial distress—and I just can't handle even hearing about it. Even Kevin/Jenny doesn't bother me like that.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
Um... Anything on True Blood? I love the characters, I just can't really make myself feel any of the ships on there.

Oh...and Gibbs/DiNozzo. I know it's the prevailing slash pairing for the fandom I just...no. Their relationship is always going to be way too father/son for me.

E - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?
With the exception of a single other exception beside the one I'm about to mention, I'm not really into mpreg. I've recently started reading these for The Walking Dead—but only if it's Shane. I'm clearly not even alone in that if the prompts over on twd_kinkmeme are any judge. Folks just love seeing that guy preggers, and I don't even know why, but I do too.
Okay, think I originally misunderstood this. What have I done for my fandom that's crack or insane? I don't know, maybe everything I write? Uh... Lessee. I've written Javier as a time traveler, a zombie, a Lovecraftian alien, and I've got a WIP where he turns out to be the son of a supernatural serial killer. I've written a story where Kevin used to be a magical mouse, and I've got WIPs where he's a vampire, a changeling, and one where he is under a faerie curse to turn into some kind of...dragon thing. I've written them both as werewolves, and I've been toying with a fusion with Skyrim. Oh, and I wrote a short scene where Macbeth from Gargoyles turned out to be Castle's father.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom
Since I still consider myself in Heroes fandom, what with the crossover from hell... I wrote my first for Heroes in 2008 so that's...four years?

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it
Ryan/Esposito are my first, but they only just beat out Sylar/Claire (which I love, but it can't be a One True Pairing if I ship Sylar with everybody).

H - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series
Haven't watched anime in ages, so...

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why
Almost never go there, so I never had the chance to pick up anything undesirable.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr
I never heard of this before I found it on AO3, but apparently it started on tumbler: Ianpala. That is, Dean Winchester paired with an anthropomorphized version of his '67 Chevy Impala that looks like Ian Somerhalder. Fandom is strange and wonderful.

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom
There just aren't enough people writing Ryan/Esposito anymore. And of the ones who are... Why do I have to be the one writing all the genre-crack? T_T

L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for
Eep. That Ryan/Esposito fic idea I randomly pitched earlier, where Jenny dies in childbirth and Esposito helps Ryan raise the baby. I WANT THIS FIC TO EXIST SO MUCH. Also, in my head, it's a novel.
Um, possibly the exact same answer mb_jazz_freak87 gave? Or...

No. I know exactly what I'd want: Your basic everyday Firefly xover cliche where Beckett, Mal!Castle and the boys go into the future...only on the return trip Ryan and Esposito get left behind. They are trapped in a strange and dangerous future, and Kevin is never going to see his wife again, but at least he and Javier have each other to keep them sane... (is a sadist)

M - Your favorite fanart or fanartist
tera_gram. Her stories for Psych are excellently written, well thought out and characterized, she always posts her multichapter fics all in one piece (God I wish I had that kind of resolve), and she often posts sequels. ♥

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of
iTunes threw out Haifisch by Rammstein. It's sort of a group song, so I don't think it lends itself well to a pairing. I guess the lyrics about the shark's unseen tears salting the sea make me think of Konrad from Black Edelweiss, and by natural extension the Rysposito therein.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)
The Castle AU where Beckett landed in a coma after the events of Knockout. Castle told Javier and Kevin about the envelope so they could investigate the big bad conspiracy as a team. Kevin broke things off with Jenny because  he didn't want to put her at risk. Javier clashed with Gates and wound up quitting the force. He and Castle started a P.I. agency that runs out of the basement office in The Old Haunt. Kevin meets up with them every few nights for drinks so they can discuss the big case. They take others, mostly to avoid suspicion, but investigating Beckett's shooting and her mother's murder are their priority.

They are still hoping Beckett will wake, but in the mean time they are going to find her shooter.

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why
Shane/Rick (The Walking Dead). I really wanted this to work. Really, really. They're cops, they're partners, they're highschool best friends, Shane's affair with Lori had so much potential for emotional transferrence... I would love them so much if Shane weren't all but a card carrying villain. They could have gone more grey with him, and I really hoped they would. Even with his attempted rape of Lori and killing Otis, I think they could have pulled it off (if anyone could it's AMC). But I guess they just gave up... (He died in the comic, why bother keeping him around this long if you're not going to do anything with him? Jesus...)

(Also, Shane or no Shane, I really, really just wish Lori was dead.)

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
Matt Bluestone/Macbeth. From the Gargoyles cartoon. The NYPD detective who was laughed out of the FBI for believing in the Illuminati and the immortal Scottish king. What's not to love?

(Okay, they never met in canon that I'm aware of, but who the fuck cares? >.<)

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon
Ryan and Esposito visit The Old Haunt often enough that not only do the bartender and all the waitresses know their names and that they are friends of the boss, and Kevin and Javi know most of their names as well.

T - If you mostly have slash ships, do you have any het ships?
Yes. Marcus/Blaire from Terminator Salvation, Gus/Juliet from Psych, Leonard/Penny from The Big Bang Theory. I'm sure there are more....

U - If you mostly have het ships, do you have any slash ships?
Not applicable.

V - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping
I didn't used to be but...jeez.

W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms
Noah Bennet - Heroes
Tyrion Lanister - Game of Thones
Al Swearengen - Deadwood
Bobby Singer - Supernatural
Dale - The Walking Dead

None of whom are very shippy (though in their fandoms, Al and Tyrion have all the sex), but dude...

X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms
Ryan/Esposito - Castle
Daryl/Glenn - The Walking Dead
Steve/Danno - Hawaii Five-0

Y - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from
I'm a fan of Deadwood, True Blood and Dexter, but I don't read/write for them. Does that count?

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go
It's not fair. Hawaii Five-0 gets all these cool genespliced AUs, AUs where Danny's a wizard, where Steve is an angel, where either one of them are mermaids, or aliens, or vampires, or...whatever. NCIS fandom gets a lot of the same (sooo many Gibbs/DiNozzo fics where they are vampires or shapeshifters). Why do I have to be the one to write all of the supernatural AUs for Castle? *sads*
