Is There Anything That Compares to Pilots?

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Hello shippers! Did everyone stay up too late last night reading fic? I know I did!! <3<3 Thank you all so much for the recommendations. I will be in fic for a very long time.

Today, I am extending a conversation (sort of) that started on Twitter about other ships. GASP! Yes, other ships. I know they exist, but frankly, they are seriously weak in comparison to my obsession with pilots. Or they last for a little while and fizzle. So, that leads me to wonder:

Who else do you ship or have you shipped since you fell in love with pilots? What show? Why? How do they compare to pilots? Has your pilot love faded in favor of another kinder and more happy-ending ship?

What say you shipper nation?

My first sorta ship as a teen was Sami/Lucas from Days of our lives. I think I should've known then I was doomed to like dysfunctional couples. hehe

Next it was Eowyn/Faramir (Lord of the Rings). This was my first real fandom ship in that I started reading fic, got into vidding, made manips and wallpapers, etc. etc. Unfortunately my love for them has kind of fizzled over the years. I still like them but I don't participate in the fandom anymore.

I haven't really shipped anyone hardcore again until Pilots which really is the best ship ever. :) I think you guys are right that there is just no one like pilots.

That said, here's a few ships I like either the idea of or think were cute as a couple.

Peter/Claire & Claire/Syler - Heroes
Lizzy/Darcy - Pride & Prejudice
Anne/Cpt. Wentworth - Persuasion
Pullo/Vorenus - Rome
Doctor/Donna - Doctor Who
Doctor/Rose - Doctor Who
Owen/Tosh - Torchwood
Cpt. Harkness/Anyone - Torchwood
Kaylee/Simon & Simon/River - Firefly
Jack/Ennis - Brokeback Mountain

And I haven't made up my mind if I like the idea of Quinn/Deb in a relationship on Dexter. Part of me thinks I'll love it and part of me thinks it seems cliche. That said, they're Buddy Cop Partners that argue like Pilots, so some of you guys might actually like them too - even if only for the friendship aspect. :)

EDIT: Duh I completely forgot my most recent ship just before pilots.
Richard/Kahlan - Legend of the Seeker. Imagine a couple where making out is even dangerous - she might lose control and confess him (i.e. take over his mind, for lack of better way to describe it). Loads of UST there. :) Not so much with the bantering though.

I swear I'm working on it!

Yeah, John & Maggie are in my top 5 (see below. hee)

PS, why aren't we friends here? Adding you right now!

uhum yes... love liz and darcy. someone said that it was actually done MONTHS ago.... hmmmm?

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

I choose to not respond to that. Yes, acts 1 & 2 are up and have been for months. I'm currently working on act 3. Have been for a while :-(

*sigh* You guys all really know how to bring on the peer pressure! Hee.

[swamp-ariadne.livejournal.com]

i'm sooooo sorry. ok.. uhm fine no more pressure. i'll wait YEARS if i have to. :)

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Oh it's okay bb. Everyone's waiting for it, which is really super flattering. I just wish my stupid muse would stop being so difficult. kag523 has written her portion already, so this is all me. *double sigh*

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

can we help somehow? like send virtual cups of coffee/tea? or cakes or a flowers?
but anyway we'll wait patiently (like anybody can actually believe that i can wait for something) for your muse to be in a better mood.

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

You know what I really need? I need some virtual (or real) JB as Mr. Darcy. Can you do that for me?

Yeah, my muse is a fickle one. She comes & goes. *sigh* But I seriously AM working on it. I promise!
