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)
4. A woman with many lives and a man with one.
5. She lives life on the edge and he used to play the field. (BSG, Kara/Sam, guessed by snacky)
6. A smart-mouthed genius and the most laconic flyboy in the universe. (SGA, McKay/Sheppard, guessed by darklyndsea)
7. Snarky vampire meets his match in death-defying vampire hunter. (BtVS, Buffy/Spike, guessed by darklyndsea)
8. Once a king or queen, always a king or queen. (Narnia, Peter/Susan, guessed by lady_songsmith)

Nope and nope, although 2 totally could be Booth/Brennan, though it wasn't what I was thinking of.

[isweedan]

Lol, our fannish circles of shipping are so un-venn it is ridiculous. <333

[bedlamsbard]

We should have at least one overlap, I think. (Aside from the Narnia ones.)

...and I just realized eleven of these are canon pairings.

[isweedan]

We had the Borgias one! That's canon! ...sort of. #notontheshowbutstill...

[bedlamsbard]

Close enough!
