Oh, so much pretty in just one post! Yay for all the nice X-Men things. And here I was the only one who actually found the whole Logan/Scott and Jean/Logan thing more interesting than the ever popular Logan/Rogue thing.

Darn and here was I, hoping you could give me some recs. Guess I have to troll some other people on my friendslist who mentioned a while ago that they like them, too. Now you have (re-)awakened the need :D

Ideally I imagine Logan/Scott quite a bit like Jack/Sawyer in the dynamic I would like them to have. Though they are actually quite different in personalities I guess (Logan much more repressed than Jack, Logan slightly different tinge of angst than Sawyer).

I don't mind Logan/Rogue and I can definitively see it, but it just doesn't make me that hungry to read fic about them. They have some great archives and art places though. I guess I like the storyline potential that comes with the whole Logan/Scott/Jean thing.

Ah, now you have reminded me of how badly I want X3 to come out. Stop it.

It's odd, but I think I would have a really hard time compiling 10 couples. There are a lot of couples I loved but never had the desire to read fic about. There are couples where I read the fic, especially out of boredom/while looking for porn, but it doesn't necessarily mean I like the couple or the show all *that* much. And while I'm in the process of loving something? I have the hardest time deciding on anything. It's way too much "Anything Prison Break!" or "Anything Smallville!" (yeah, yeah, I'm over that...) and I could never just pick one couple. I think I was like that with Lost in the beginning as well, but slowly the excitement fades and only a few preferred core couples remain.

And ooh, I'm hoping X3 will be good. But I mean ... Brett Ratner? :-/

*puts fingers in ears*
*chants: It will be good, it will be good*

On the plus side, the promos so far have looked quite promising, especially regarding the Phoenix story. Not so sure about the whole almost all out war scenario.

I envy people whose OTPs have scenes together every week! Imagine that!

I used to be Mulder/Krycek (in addition to Mulder/Scully) back in the X-Files days. They used to have two episodes together a season :D And somebody it was still enough to fuel tons and tons of fic. It's the quality, not the quantity.



The writers made sure to give them a slashy moment every time and the long breaks left so much space for the fanfic writers to interpret freely. They are one of the biggest couples of the fandom and they had like... 10 episodes together? Out of over 200.

Sometimes I'm somewhat weary of couples that get scenes every episodes, mostly because I'm very picky about canon. It's very easy for canon to ruin a couple of me, if I don't like the interpretation on screen. Especially actually realized couples, there is often the danger that they will strike an anti chord with me, so I can no longer like or buy them. Again, very picky about my canon.

So sometimes it's almost better for a couple to be not realized or to not have too many scenes, because at least then the writers can't mess them up. (then again, totally depends on the writers and the sort of relationship)

no more Boone or Shannon! And the Sawyer/Sayid has also all but disappeared.

Those were the days! But it's a good example of my problem. Back then the show was so fresh and so sparkly. When that is the case I just can't decide on a pairing. And I'd feel silly listing all of the sparkly goodness because I know that a year from now my excitement for most of these pairings will have simmered down.

BTW, I realize that there is a core difference between ongoing story arcs like on Lost or Prison Break (where all relationships develop and have to develop) and procedurals like CSI or X-Files (where all relationship are basically supposed to stay the same). On ongoing arc shows it is naturally preferable for characters to have lots of scenes togehter. Because the characters develop and as a shipper of course it would be preferrable if the chosen two characters would do that together.

Is that Syd/Will pic from this season? So pretty! They were my first Alias ship and Will was my first Alias love!

I love that picture of Sawyer in the first pic too.

That first pic, that scene and that cap still kill me...*sigh*

Ahhhh,damn the first picture...*howls*...me,stealing the meme:)

LOL, I completely forgot it was you who tried to get me to read PotC fic. ;D

Wow. Um, *ahem* i totally dig the pics.
I was like 'omgoshhh i remember the potc fics & logan/scott fics back in the olden days too.'
Yeahhh. Used to read them. They were good :)

But sawyer/jack=otp for lyfe. chyeah.

*takes meme* ;)

DOOD -- teh eye-candy, it staggers me *grins* PotC -- MAN! Was I the whore for Turner/Sparrow back in the day LOL and Logan/Scott ... so many pairings, so little sanity to accomodate them all *sheepish grin* And that S/K kiss ... one of the few moments I called myself a Skate shipper. Bad Alex, no donut *hangs head*
