It's not like I have this other meme on the backburner or anything...

Stolen borrowed from anuna_81 and yappichick:

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your audience guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.
(5. And because I couldn't resist... one of them is an OC pairing...)
(6. Also, bonus points to everyone who can figure out 19!)
(7. Be quick. Otherwise pingulotta will have guessed all of them before we can even blink...)

1. He gave her his mother's mantle.
2. Her specialty is language, his is action.
3. She has handcuffs, he likes Rocky Road.
4. She likes things that go boom and he finds it hard to curb her enthusiasm.
5. He takes care of her caffeine addiction.
6. There are many copies of her. He'd find her even if there were a million.
7. Hers is a lion, his is a snake.
8. Scruffy is what she likes.
9. They're the Mulder and Scully of their generation.
10. She wanted to go to Australia, he didn't know if he wanted to follow her.
11. She has four sisters, he has but one.
12. The fluff in his mills looks like dangerous snow flakes to her.
13. He didn't name his plane for her. But it still is named like her.
14. She's queen bee, he's anything but a drone.
15. Zen is not what describes their relationship.
16. He wishes she would stop jumping out of windows when he's not there to catch her.
17. He would never become an outlaw. Not even for her.
18. Marrying her the first time was great. Marrying her the second time was the best thing he ever did.
19. She never lost him on Christmas. He's still out there.
20. He doesn't tell, she never asks.

Heh, look, twenty :D

4. Fiona and Michael Weston
16. Eliot and Parker

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

16 is correct, 4 is not. Keep guessing ;)


Edit: But it could have been right. I actually do ship those two ;)

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

Okaaaay... once again: Don't laugh. ;)

Sooo...
2. "Her specialty is language, his is action."
~ Sato/Reed? Because I haven't watched ENT in YEARS (and never watched the whole thing, but I seem to remember... well... a story ;))

4. "She likes things that go boom and he finds it hard to curb her enthusiasm."
~ Laura/Evan? Because I read explosives and think Cadman. *lol*

5. He takes care of her caffeine addiction.
~ Gibbs/Abby? Because the only alternative would be Janeway/Chakotay and that would be wrong... ;)

6. There are many of her. He'd find her even if there were a million.
~ Sam/Cam? Although I think this is wrong... but you say "many of her" and I think "alternate universes" and then I think "Sam" and then I think "Sam/Cam" (because I went through my old stories today ;))

9. They're the Mulder and Scully of their generation.
~ Pete/Myka? Because. *g*

17. He would never become an outlaw. Not even for her.
~ Is that the OC-Pairing? And if so: Is that Moren/Sandwalker? Really not sure here, but they were the first to come to mind...

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

2, 4 and 9 are correct, the rest is not. Would you like to have hints for the rest?

Also, 3 out of 6 really isn't bad :D

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you! =)

I'd love hints. *G*

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Righty-o.

5 is a completely different fandom and listed in my interests. Just look close enough ;)

6 is science fiction as well. The fandom is listed in my interests but the pairing is not. Mh, I really need to change that.

17 is not an OC pairing. Rather, it's a BBC fandom.

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

Oh dear... *lol* I have absolutely no clue... I think I'll have to sleep on it. ;)

5. - Is that a Sci/Fi fandom, too?

6. - Hm... do I know that fandom?

17. - BBC! o.o "Merlin"? But who would not become an outlaw there? So... no... Erm... "Robin Hood" then?

And WHY do I keep thinking "Gilmore Girls" and...

... hang on... is 5 Lorelai/Luke?

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

6. - Hm... do I know that fandom?

That is a very good question... I don't think we ever talked about it.

"Robin Hood" then?

Yes and

is 5 Lorelai/Luke?

yes :D

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

*squee* Yay! Thank you! :D

That is a very good question... I don't think we ever talked about it.

Okay... then I'll think about that one tomorrow... (Hm.... Firefly? *g*)

And if 17 is "Robin Hood" I'll just guess... Guy/Marian (I have to admit that I've never seen the show so I'm just grabbing a pairing from your profile ;))

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

(Hm.... Firefly? *g*)

Nope.

Guy/Marian

Abso-fucking-lutely!

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

Abso-fucking-lutely!

*dances happy dance*

And not Firefly... hm... okay... tough one... hm... but I'll figure it out! Yes I will! *lol*

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Draco/Hermione...?

Correct. You're taking all the pairings away from the rest :P

And not Firefly... hm... okay... tough one... hm... but I'll figure it out! Yes I will! *lol*

Actually, I have one flister in mind who might guess it before you do ;)

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

Correct.

\o/

You're taking all the pairings away from the rest :P

Which is precisely why I'll step back now and watch. *gg*
(Even though I think I've figured out the missing fandom... but that wouldn't help me because I don't watch it and couldn't figure out the pairing if it isn't listed in your interest... and really, if there is someone who could guess it then I'll leave it to them =))

But this was fuuuun! :D
(Also, I'm really impressed... I don't think I could come up with 20 pairings... or maybe I could but at least 15 would feature either Sam or Helen... or both ;))

[pingulotta.livejournal.com]

AH!
"7. Hers is a lion, his is a snake."
~ Draco/Hermione...?

And now... good night! =)

[yappichick]

#1 is Faramir/Eowyn :D

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Yeeees! :D I think there's at least one more pairing you should be able to guess ;)

[sangate.livejournal.com]

6 - Astrid/Peter, Fringe (I don't even watch it, this is purely based on what I come across on tumblr LOL)
10 - Jack/Tess, Eureka
15 - Zen/Tania, Zen

These are all such guesses, especially the first and third because I haven't even seen it all or anything at all.. purely based on the description

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

6 - Astrid/Peter, Fringe

Mhnope.

10 - Jack/Tess, Eureka

Correct! &hearts

15 - Zen/Tania, Zen

Nuh-uh.

Actually, I thought 15 was easy but I didn't even know there is an entire Zen fandom :D

[sangate.livejournal.com]

Hmm my tumblr friends disappoint me.. ;)

YAY!! Knew that one was right :D

Long shot XD I have no idea if there is a fandom, but the word "Zen" was just too easy to pass up on XD

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Hmm my tumblr friends disappoint me.. ;)

Pssst, there's a tagline in the description ;)

have no idea if there is a fandom

Oh you know how it is... "if it's on the internet, there's porn" is probably also valid for "if it's on the internet, there's fandom" ;)

[ancient-leah.livejournal.com]

#20 is that very special OC pairing ... Tom doesn't tell, Maureen never asks :D

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Very good :D At least one pingulotta didn't guess first :D

[keylafirefly.livejournal.com]

#3 is Zane and Jo. God, i need to watch eureka again...

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Correct :D
