"Oh, My Friend, We're Older But No Wiser..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Puh, sleep. Please.

Snitched from settiai:

Off the top of your head, right now, what ten 'ships would you likely drop what you're doing to read fic for. Or, alternately, what are the top ten ships that you'll give a fic a chance for, or that you've been dying to write, or that you've been dying to read.... These can be new loves, old flames, or something in between. Explain if you like, but you don't have to. Then tell us 3 things these ships say about you.

One: Prouvaire/Grantaire:* I'm sorry, okay? It's my thing.
Two: Sebastian/Antonio:** lillieoz can attest to that. Their love is so nearly canon. It's Shakespearean. It has an E!/R twist. Oh, and it rocks above all things. Yes, absolutely.
Three: Gringoire/Frollo:** I am a bad, bad girl.
Four: Ishmael/Queequeg:** Canon is not exacting failing to support me in this, you know. You can't tell me it isn't so there.
Five: Ayrton/Pencroff:+ I can also make a list of ten reasons no one will ever write this for me. I: It's too obscure. II: It's mad because nobody else is logical. III: I've written it too many times myself. IV: No one else who has read canon writes it. &c. Blah. I'm grouchy. ^_^
Six: Hoffman/Nicklausse:+ Contrary to what you all think, I'm actually not trying to pick from all different fandoms. It just happens that my range of interests is wide. And they are cute. And Nicklausse is the only person that stands by Hoffman through all! *pose*
Seven: Jekyll/Lanyon: This is my OTP. You cannot dissuade me. Ever.
Eight: Jekyll/Nemo:*+ This is also my OTP. It is shiny. And so obvious. It's the fangirl slash, really. I like it that way. Mwahaha.
Nine: Colline/Schunard:+ Fluff. Fluffy fluff. Dancing fluffy fluff in the Latin Quarter which is also penniless and involves coats. There is nothing more to say.
Ten: (Already? I have so many favourite pairings!) Raoul/Erik:** It's so potentially creepy. Really. It can either be turned into mush and a fangirl slash, or it can be creepy and icky and subtexty and in need of psychiatry. And I'll like it that.

Three things this says about me: I: I am quite mad. II: I read too many obscure books. III: I am far too fond of slash for my own good.

Everyone already knew all of these things, though, so no snazzy revelation.

* = I've read this before
** = Not more than once
+ = I've written it

It has an E!/R twist.
Have I mentioned that the Antonio in our production looks quite a bit like a Grantaire?

[bewareofitalics]

Oo, another Soujin!friend in Twelfth Night! Who are you playing? I'm Olivia, but ship Sebastian/Antonio anyway. :)

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweet! I'm two minor characters (Servant and Priest) and I composed the music for my production.

Mmmm, Sebastian/Antonio...I also love Oliva/Viola and adore Feste to bits but can't figure out anyone to ship him with.

[bewareofitalics]

Cool! My production doesn't have music yet (we're only two weeks into rehearsals), but the director's boyfriend will be composing. Our Priest is great - she's doing the Princess Bride speech impediment. *g*

I have some problems with requited Olivia/Viola, because Viola is so in love with Orsino, but someday I might try writing Olivia/Viola/Orsino (because I can't have Olivia be all lonely and sad when Sebastian runs off with Antonio. Well, that and I'm insane). I'm also attempting to write a Sebastian/Antonio fic that might end up having Olivia/Feste. No idea if it'll work, but it's worth a shot.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Hah! My director's usual direction for me is to do it like the Princess Bride... :D

Oooh, I like Olivia/Viola/Orsino! And Olivia/Feste!

I've also developed a liking for one-sided Andrew/Toby; this is probably due to my production's Sir Andrew, who is so ridiculously adorable.

When's your production? Ours is the next three nights. Squee!

[bewareofitalics]

Heh, I bet everyone playing a priest since that movie came out has at least considered it.

I can see Andrew/Toby. There's got to be some reason besides stupidity and drunkenness that Andrew keeps hanging around... *g*

My performances don't start until April 28, so it's still all new and shiny to me. *g* Break a leg!

(And hey, may I friend you? I have Sebastian/Antonio fic!)

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Mmm, new and shiny Twelfth Night...I'm getting to the point where I'll scream if I hear "Bolts and shackles!" one more time. But I love it anyway. :) And thanks!

Ooo, certainly! ::friends back::

[bewareofitalics]

I'm hoping I don't get too sick of it by the end! It's the first real show I've done in a while, and my first full Shakespeare play ever, and I have a great director and cast, so I just want to enjoy everything to the fullest. :)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Mrrrrr. Squee!

[bewareofitalics]

*works busily on Yente Olivia fic* *whistles innocently*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Verily, woman, I love you. <3

[bewareofitalics]

Love ya back!

(Sorry for spamming your journal, but you must look at this post. kaliscoo has some pairings that you might, um, appreciate. *g*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*dies!* Hamlet/Gollum! I want.

[bewareofitalics]

Ten: (Already? I have so many favourite pairings!) Raoul/Erik:** It's so potentially creepy. Really. It can either be turned into mush and a fangirl slash, or it can be creepy and icky and subtexty and in need of psychiatry. And I'll like it that.

Um. I can totally get behind that.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Please, please do.

[snowystingray.livejournal.com]

I wish that I could, but it has been ages since I've written anything. I don't think Erik/Raoul would be the best thing to start back up with! If I find anything good I will be sure to send it your way, though.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Nrrrk, wrong answer. *tosses you cheerfully into African forest torture chamber* Oh, very well, I suppose. But I think it would be a lovely initiation rite, personally.

[snowystingray.livejournal.com]

Well, I have some stuff that I need to write for school, but hopefully working on fiction again will put me in the mood to work on fanfiction again. So... Hmm. We will see.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Okay. *wiggles toes hopefully*

[madameviking.livejournal.com]

#1 - YES. It's my thing too. For some reason, though, it's so damned hard to find...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

You're telling me! I can't understand why no one ever writes it when it's so obviously crazy mad rocking.

[julietveiled.livejournal.com]

Their love is so nearly canon.

Nearly? It IS canon!

Have you ever read Tad Williams' Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy? Because I'm re-reading them and keep slashing the characters. Admittedly, in some cases, it's really hard not to...

Colline/Schunard is, of course, simply lovely. I've always liked Raoul/Erik (leaving Christine to, what, Meg?), and Grinny/Frollo is...

Mildly frightening. Thanks for that. *g*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It IS canon!

True. *g* Very, very true.

I have not, but I must confess I experience that syndrome with nearly everything I read. :) I'm such a slash-whore.

It's adorable!; mmm, yes (well, yes, clearly); gorgeous is the word I think you want--respectively.
