Pick five OTPs, preferably from different fandoms, and answer the following questions.

1. TARDIS/Doctor (Doctor Who)
2. Susan/Marcus (B5)
3. Spike/Drusilla (Buffy)
4. Mal/Inara (Firefly)
5. Lennier-->Delenn (B5 again)

1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1?
Oh dear. Umm... Okay, so I'm pretty sure it came after seeing the billion-and-first "Rose is the Doctor's ultimate true love and our proof is what happened in "Bad Wolf"" fic. Nothing against Doctor/Rose, not in the slightest, but as soon as I really started thinking about it, I decided it was more fun to read that whole thing as having been the TARDIS acting through Rose. Once I got that far, it was an easy hop to the Tardis as the only 'companion' the Doctor will never have to leave or be left by... and so on. ;)

2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5?
I remember waaaaay back when I was still on S2 of B5, I started trying to write my first fic. Halfway through a sort of random piece from Lennier's POV, I sat back, looked at the screen, and said aloud "you poor stupid bastard, you're in love with her, aren't you?" I was hooked from that moment on.

3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3?
Ohhhh... has to be the scene in their first episode. I for some reason entirely forget the name, but the one where they first arrive in Sunnydale and stay with the Anointed One and his crew, and they're chatting in their private crypt. Love that scene - it sums up so much about their relationship.

...Either that or Dru carrying Spike out of that burning building.

4. What will the ship be if you take the boy from ship 2 and the girl from ship 1 and mesh them? If one or both of the ships are slash, then pick and choose.
Marcus... and the TARDIS. Umm... That'd be... well, I suppose they'd get along very well? He's random and silly in a way that's familiar to her, and he's used to being bossed around by the women in his life, so... Still a funny image, though.

5. Vise versa.
The Doctor and Susan Ivanova. That... might be too much ego in one place. It'd be sort of like the Doctor and the first Romana... sort of an unending power struggle.

6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4?
Oh... "Shindig," I think. I love the last scene with the two of them in the cargo bay.

7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3?
Just about long enough for the two of them to show up. Which, at the rate my roommate and I sped through it, was probably about two weeks. XD

8. When did you start shipping ship number 4?
About fifteen minutes into the pilot. You know when Mal and the passengers run into Inara on the stairs? Yeah. Right about there.

9. Take three people from three of the ships and create an OT3.
I dare not mix any of these people up, for fear of dangerous situations. ;)

10. Rank your OTPs in order.
...I really don't do order.
