Six ships you are into right now:
01. Nicki/Barb (Big Love)
02. Ann/Leslie (Parks & Rec)
03. Betty/Helen (Mad Men)
04. Michael/Lindsay (Arrested Development)
05. Ellen/Patty (Damages)
06. Fiona/Holly J (Degrassi)

Three ships you liked but don't like anymore:
07. Emily/Naomi (Skins)
08. Simon/Kelly (Misfits)
09. Bill/Sookie (True Blood)

Four ships you never liked:
10. Leslie/Ron (Parks & Rec)
11. Effy/Freddie (Skins)
12. Rebecca/Paul (The Inside)
13. Kelly/Ryan (The Office)

Two ships you're curious about but don't actually ship (yet):
14. Don/Peggy (Mad Men)
15. Gabriella/Carrie (Cast-Offs)


Why do you dislike 11 [Freddie/Effy] so much?

This ship is supposed to be all about love in the face of craziness, and I never saw it. The writers went off the rails during season 4, but Cook is a solid replacement for Tony in Effy's life, and I just can't see Freddie ever meaning anything to her, or she to him, other than something to be idealized.

Who is someone you know that ships 14 [Don/Peggy]?

My ex. Which is sort of why I'm steering clear of the fandom at the moment.

What would be your ideal scenario for 3 [Betty/Helen]?

Betty reads about female masturbation, is appalled, Helen has Carla take the kids and helps Betty through her rough patch. Smoking, drinking.

What is your favourite moment for 1 [Nicki/Barb]?

For lack of much in canon, season 5 - Barb teaching Nicki how to dance.

How long have you been following 6 [Fiona/Holly J]?

Since Declan first started dating HJ and there were rumors of twincest coming up. 

What's the story with 8 [Simon/Kelly]? What made you stop liking/caring?

Simon almost raped her. Simon also duped the hell out of Alicia, and Kelly was in a dubcon relationship with a gorilla. Yeah. I quit the show.

You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose from 10 [Leslie/Ron] or 12 [Rebecca/Paul].

Rebecca/Paul! Leslie/Ron is basically harmless since it's obviously never happening on the show, and whatever, basically. But Rebecca/Paul involves deep misreading of the characters and idolization of Paul, which I absolutely cannot stand.

Which ship do you prefer, 2 [Ann/Leslie] or 4 [Michael/Lindsay]?

They're both practically canon, but I'll say M/L because I find the fic about them fucking much more believable. Ann/Leslie never seem to get past holding hands and snuggling. Which is cool with me.

What interests you about 15 [Gabrielle/Carrie]?

They're vastly different. They begin the series by hating one another. There's absolutely ZERO fandom for this, so I don't know how or where to go about this.

Why did you stop liking 7 [Emily/Naomi]?

The fandom got ridiculous. It hit too close to home. Eh.

Did your waning interest in 9 [Bill/Sookie] kill your interest in the show?

I'm not sure. I loathe 90% of Bill/Sookie and am obsessed with the other 10%. Most of fandom ignores the problematic nature of their relationship, but I like fandom that explores it. That's what keeps me in True Blood, sadly enough, is exploring the shit that the show just hands out like it's delicious.

What's a song that reminds you of 5 [Ellen/Patty]?

Well, I made a fanmix for them.

If you could have any two of these pairings double date, who would it be?

Nicki/Barb and Ellen/Patty would be wonderful and terrible.

Have 2 [Ann/Leslie] kissed yet?

On the cheek? Maybe?

Did 4 [Michael/Lindsay] have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?

Not especially? I haven't gotten to the end yet.

What would make you start shipping 14 [Don/Peggy]?

A touch. A well-written fic. Not much!

If only one could happen, which would you prefer, 2 [Ann/Leslie] or 6 [HollyJ/Fiona]?

Holly J/Fiona. I just don't see Parks & Rec being able to handle a true relationship for A/L... it would be a joke. Or painfully awkward.

You have the power to decide the fate of 10 [Ron/Leslie]. What happens to them?

Uh, they're awesome friends. Like the show.

Which do you dislike the most?

Possibly Ryan/Kelly. It's pretty damn abusive and played for laughs.

Which of these ships do you like the most?

Ann/Leslie. I know. I'm silly.

Have you seen the episode of Betty and Don taking a trip to Greece? OH MY GOD. January Jones look SO effing hot in that episode, and she acts a bit different too --- more laid back. I'm assuming it's because the kids aren't around, but there's just something about her in that episode...IT'S LIKE SHE HAD A FEMINIST AWAKENING BECAUSE SHE JUST LETS LOOSE AND DOESN'T FUCKING CARE!

She can speak fluent Italian too.

I think my biggest problem with Freddie/Effy was I could never see why Effy would be interested. Let's just not bother with season 4 because it was a mess but in season 3 it was the only relationship I couldn't really understand. I understood why Cook went for Effy (pretty much because of Freddie for the first half of the season and then developing feelings in the second half), why Effy went for Cook (mutual nihilism = good times on Skins!), why Freddie went for Effy (because...crush? Idealization? Idk, I will say I never thought it was shown as some great true love in season 3. I mean he barely ever talked to her) and then I come to a total block when I try to work out why on earth Effy would be in love with Freddie. What. Does not compute.
