Dude, mostly I'm just curious to see how many ships I actually have, since I tend towards gen. Er, and I'll try for the less obscure stuff.
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.
1. A silver-tongued wanderer and his clever queen. (The Odyssey, Odysseus/Penelope, guessed by
illereyn)
2. A rough-and-ready detective and the woman who's smarter than he is. (was actually thinking of someone else, but Bones, Booth/Brennan, guessed by
isweedan and
illereyn)
3. She kicks ass in high heels and he writes about it. (Castle, Castle/Beckett, guessed by
darklyndsea)

3. Rick Castle/Kate Beckett (sp.?)
6. John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
7. Spike/Buffy
8. Peter/Susan/Edmund/Lucy OT4?
13. Well, that could describe almost any designated ship in the history of television
18. Aeryn Sun/John Crichton?
20. Neal Caffrey/Peter Burke/Elizabeth Burke...what? She's totally their handler!
My completely ridiculous ship of the month is Carmen Sandiego/Waldo. They're made for each other!

6. Yep!
7. Yep!
8. Take two of 'em out, I guess I wasn't terribly specific on this one. :)
13. Not quite...
18. Yep!
20. Yep!

Date: 2011-11-22 03:57 am (UTC)13) I always thought this about Starbuck and Apollo, but it's probably just me. :D
14) Daniel and Amanda Greystone
15) Ralph deBricssart and Meggie Cleary (okay, that's just me again).

Date: 2011-11-22 04:19 am (UTC)(I am surprised by BSG in that I really, really like most if not all of the canon pairings. It is shocking! Considering that there are so many of them!)

Date: 2011-11-22 04:29 am (UTC)Probably the only pairing I didn't like was Cavil/Boomer, because it was sort of strange and bewildering to me and they didn't devote enough time to it.
