There aren't -words- for how I envy people able to write in lots and lots of different fandoms (sometimes). They tend to be unfairly good, too :/ (By which I mean, my Buffy & GW fics were -horrid-, even if my Peter Pan one was okay, the other was insane... my strategy being 'I don't feel comfortable with canon, let's go crazy-AU instead!' ...So basically I shall never understand why I started writing HP like a mofo with v. v. little canon-- basically barely even a great grasp on fanon-- and why I can never write Star Trek if you paid me to, even if I've seen/read tons of canon. *sigh*)
Aaanyway. I was reading
shrift's most recent Highlander fic, 'Velocity of Longing', being the title whore that I clearly am-- and it was just such a breath of fresh air!! Ahhh, I missed Methos :(
So. Because I do want to read other fandoms even if I can't write them, I'd like people to pleeeeease rec fandoms/pairings to me (not fics, precisely, just pairings!). But! Um... I thought it'd be more of an Educated Rec if you knew my pairing opinions across fandoms to base your rec on.
Basically, -I'm- the one who always sees patterns in my shipping preferences, but for once I thought I'd make a list of just the raw data of how I feel without premade conclusions as to what I'd like to see.
Mostly, this is an excuse to make a huge list of what I think of a bunch of pairings-- favorites and not-so-favorites-- HP and beyond. Mmm, lists. Mmmm, procrastination. *rolls eyes at self* Also, I've ranked them anywhere from 3 stars to empty stars (which is negative), hehe. I've covered HP, Gundam Wing, Buffy, Highlander, Star Trek, Star Wars, X-Files, The OC, X-Men & others ^^;;;;
( Thusly! Reena's Great Big Humongous Pairing/Fandom Opinion List. :P )

Okay-- if you've read all that, I'm impressed!
...And also frightened. But... you probably are at least a little enlightened about... something or other. Me personally-- I want dinner. Thass all (finally!) and good night. :>
