bonnefois | meme, ganked from samu forever ago

A.) One of your current OTPs.
Scout/Miss Pauling, TF2

B.) A pairing you initially did not consider, but picked up because another fan changed your mind.
Hmm, Japan/Taiwan? I used to be meh on it, but Melly convinced me.

C.) A pairing you have never liked and most likely never will.
Dude, so many! I think there's canons where there aren't ships that make me vomit in my mouth, but it seems that those are for canons I never got into fandom for.

D.) A pairing you wish you liked, but cannot.
Glee would be a much less painful experience if I could stand Finn/Rachel. Or Will/Emma. Or Puck/Quinn. Actually, scratch that, I'll just stay in my fandom corner and enjoy Tina/Mike, Rachel/Puck, Puck/Lauren.

E.) Have you added anything cracky to your fandom. If so, what?
Yes, I've done some ~special~ things. Fairytale humor crack for FE, those AUs... despite some of the AU fun I've had, my crackiest stuff for Hetalia is still as of yet unfinished. (Kiku finds a man who leaves him breathless—because he has a severe allergy to cats! Kiku politely gropes Herakles, the one with Matthew getting ticked off at being forgotten and taking up Francis-like antics in a meeting, etc.)

I think that FE/Glee AU wins the crack award, though. That one is...special. So special I think I'll have to take it to my journal. That house party is too loud for FFN.

F.) What is the longest time you have spent in a fandom?
I have this habit of going back to fandoms and never considering myself really gone. Because of this, my thought is generally "Um, forever?" Generally a fandom has to utterly burn the bridge for me to leave, or the canon has to become horrible or something. I think FE wins at going on 5 years with me being an active participant, more or less.

G.) Do you remember your first OTP? If so, who was in it?
Gambit/Rogue from the 90s cartoon series!

H.) Do you prefer characters from live action series or anime series?
I seem to fic games and animanga more, so it seems I imprint more on series where there's a lot of reading (as opposed to watching.) I ship plenty in shows a lot of the time, but rarely write for it.

I.) Has the Internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms? If so, which and why?
Fandoms cause me to stop liking fandoms.

J.) Name a fandom you did not care or think about until you saw it all over the Internet.
Homestuck, I guess. It's a webcomic, so I probably wouldn't see it unless I went to a con...

K.) How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom?
Hetalia: Giripan fandom is wonderful and quiet and all the good things Heta fandom has to offer. So not into the new wave of weeaboo fans, though. '10 Heta fandom was so much better in this respect.

FE fandom...ahaha, I love some people, and then there's whole sections where my feelings start with "die" and end in "a fire." Like those fun homophobic ones who love to clog up DA and FFN and spend all their time vomiting homophobic vitriol all over the place. Gross.

TF2 fandom: It's a really strange fandom, way different than I'm used to coming in from animanga and JRPGs, but it's also a lot of fun. I've found wank really easy to avoid, and for such a slash heavy fandom, they really love the female characters, even when said female characters get in the way of their OTPs, and that's pretty cool. Also, it's odd to be in a fandom where even the dudebros are shipping the main OTP of the fandom. Coming in from FE fandom, land of the IKE IS NOT GAY AND NEITHER IS HEATHER, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I don't know many people personally from this fandom. But even that is rather nice. After witnessing firsthand a lot of personal drama in FE and Hetalia, I'm down with just sitting in a corner and writing a rare pair.

L.) Your favorite fanartist / fanficcer gives you one request. What do you ask for?
I have lots of favorites. I'm more likely to ask a request for art (because I cannot draw at all)

Random ideas, in no particular order:

FANART OF ALL MY OTPS
Shirtless Ike with dogtags
this one comic idea, based on the Ike and Soren exchange from 5 on easy and normal level.
Oh oh, lately I've been wanting Miss Pauling and Soren wearing each other's outfits, because they're both tiny dark haired assistants who take no shit from anyone.
Scout/Pauling. Always.
Just today I had in my mind what would happen if you mixed Ace Attorney and TF2 and I came up with Soldier as a faillawyer, with Miss Pauling as his tiny assistant and Scout rounding it out as the FailLarry. It was beautiful, then I was sad that it will never happen.

M.) Your favorite fanart or fanartist.
Kiu22, Sule, Sicorey, other people, tons of pretty people on pixiv

N.) Your favorite fanfic or fanficcer.
People, other people, stuff

O.) Choose a song at random. Which OTP does it remind you of?
Going on randomized from widows media player, Have You Seen Me Lately? - Counting Crows reminds me of Tezuka/Ryoma, because Zau prompted me it for a fic.

P.) Invent a random AU for any fandom.
Since I did it above, AA + TF2 fusion. Soldier the fail!lawyer. IDK who his Edgeworth is gonna be. Demoman? His mother DID want him to get more jobs...

Q.) A ship you have abandoned and why.
KuroFai because Clamp takes too many drugs and the amount of alcohol that it would take to get through the manga would put me in the hospital

R.) A pairing you ship that you do not think anyone else ships.
I would say Amerikrane and Vietnam/Taiwan, but I've recently run into shippers for both pairs after being alone for so long. It's really jarring and WTFy to be the only shipper and then find everyone else shipping it. It's like—where the hell were you when I was flailing about it and everyone was giving me the weird eye? Anyways, it's very possible that I converted them, so there's that. And it's cool to see people actually prompting it, it's just a little weird.

S.) Show us an example of your personal headcanon.
For what fandom?

Hetalia: Hungary's fujoshi-ness rubbed off a little on Taiwan and Ukraine.
FE: Skrimir is the kegger champ. Yes, even in the canon verse, Skrimir is still the kegger champ. He is the kegger champ everywhere.

T.) If you mostly have same-sex ships, do you have any het ships?
Yeah, plenty. Scout/Pauling, Spy/Scout's mom, Saxton Hale/Administrator, Fry/Leela, Scott/Ramona, Castle/Beckett, Barney/Robin, Rossi/Prentiss, Morgan/Garcia, Kevin/Garcia, America/Ukraine (and most America het) Pelleas/Micaiah, Hector/Priscilla, etc...

U.) If you mostly have het ships, do you have any same-sex ships?
I have too many gay ships to ever list here.

V.) Are you one of those fans who cannot watch anything without shipping?
Depends on the canon? I ship a lot, but there are some shows/books/games/etc. I don't ship at all. Somewhere. Probably.

W.) Five favorite characters from five different fandoms.
Splitting into girls and boys, because I can't bear to leave anyone behind.

Girls:
Miss Pauling (TF2)
Heather (FE10)
Xavin (Runaways)
Azula (Avatar)
L'arachel (FE8)

Boys
Soren (TF2)
Iruka (Naruto)
Ivan (Golden Sun)
Joshua (The World Ends With You)
Fuji (Tenipuri)

X.) Three OTPs from three different fandoms.

Azula/Ty lee for Avatar: TLA
Ike/Soren from FE9/10
Scout/Pauling from TF2

There, a het slash and femmeslash ones, and they're OTPs in the most literal sense, too. (As in, one true pairing...)

Y.) A fandom you claim, but in which you have no ships.
RPF, actually. I almost never crave porn and only occasionally crave shippy from RPF. Mostly I want friendship and awesome adventures.

Z.) Ramble about anything fan-related.
Uh, okay. I was going to ramble about cosplay, but you get fic notes, I guess. I'm currently trying to decide what fic to get to next with my ~shiny new pair~ in my ~shiny new fandom.~
it looks like they all will be in the 5k-10k range, which is good for my longfic_bingo card!

I'm also super, super close to blacking out on my cottoncandy_bingo right now. This is my first blackout, so it's pretty cool.
