Just a few fandom thoughts

Crikey, I wrote three posts the majority of my readership can't even read.
But no matter, I am now writing something else entirely.

I just thought I'd and tell (under a cut of course) off the top of my head who my (het and slash) OTP's (One True Pairings) are in various fandoms and OT3's (One True Threesoms :).

I'm just really excited about my holiday and feel like writing nonsense, bear with me.

I'll start with my very first OTP:
Thanks would be Buffy/Angel, yeah laugh it up, I'm old school. And the moment Spike and Angel were on screeen together my Slash coloured goggles tainted practically every fandom I've entered.
Though the minute Spike came back to Sunnydale, alone, and spent that evening with Buffy and Angel, my OT3 was born.
Next came The West Wing; now IMO, Josh Lyman could be with practically anyone and it would work, yes the man is that Hawt!
But my het OTP is Josh/Donna, from day one, yes the Pilot, you knew there was something between them.
When it comes to slash there's no one like Josh/Sam, they just work so well together. In my mind anyone between Josh and Sam is an OT3, though it works particularly well with Donna. And with Donna, Sam is the only man I can see working. With Donna (and without Sam) I can see an OT3 with another woman, generally Amy, who isn't as bad as many J/D shippers make her out to be.

That's all for now. Tomorrow I'll write more about the subject.

In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

I'm not a shipper but I think I might be the only person out there that thinks Riley was the best of the three for Buffy.

Or, failing her, Xander.

Wow, I could start a whole discussion here about why Riely was, IMO, her worst, but it's after midnight here and I'm tired.

Rain check?

As for Xander of all the Scoobies I was sure he's be the one to be gay and not Willow, to me he was always very asexual until the third season and he lost his virginity to Faith and ever then, she was the sexy one.

Worse than the one who tried to rape her or the other that she can never be truly happy with, lest he become a genocidal monster? I like both the characters but don't think either is a particularly great choice for a boyfriend or lover.

Feel free to expound on why you think he's the worst as I'm genuinely curious about your thoughts on the matter. It won't be much of a discussion as the previous paragraph's about the extent of my thought on the subject, though. Like I said, I'm not (much of a) shipper (on shows other than Buffy).

And, yeah, Xander should've been the gay one. It's so obvious that he had the hots for both Oz and Riley and even Andrew to a point.

*sigh* I know it's a kind of antithesis to what I believe in (in real life), but Buffy, as Spike said, needs a little monster in her man.
Mainly because she's a bit of a monster herself.

Love the icon, now there's a couple that would work.

Umm... It's Faith. She can have sex with about 99.99% of the population of the world and be the sexy one.

I do think bisexuality would suit Xander just fine, though :)

Agreed on both counts.
