You gave me some letters after I re-reblogged the meme, too, and I was going to answer those and these together, but it got long. So you’re getting individual answers instead.

A: Your current OTP
If I have to single out ONE pairing that gives me all the feelings and I can’t go very long without thinking about, at this very moment, that would be Hanna/Caleb on Pretty Little Liars. They are invariably adorable and supportive of each other and they care about each other so much and so clearly. The pacing has been fantastic from the get-go—it was probably the first (and only…) PLL pairing I really bought and which really seemed like a healthy relationship to me. Especially after Lucas, I was just so happy to see Hanna be with a guy who had no ties to Alison and who genuinely liked her and quit a shady job without any guarantee that Hanna would forgive him, someone who put himself out there and didn’t pressure her when she decided she wasn’t ready to take him back or say I love you back. Judging from episodes like 2.20, I’m almost certain he is, besides maybe Hanna’s mom, the only character on the show who thinks Hanna’s a lot smarter than she realizes. And the way they’re both honest with each other—they’ll try to keep up a lie and it won’t last very long because it just goes against the way they built their relationship. And there’s never even an implication that Hanna thinks any less of him because he doesn’t have that much money or that he feels like she does (remember Alex last season? that was not good), and I think he really makes her feel attractive and appreciated in a way she’s never felt with anyone before, she’s never been able to shake those doubts, and he’s helping her do that without hindering her self-esteem or independence in any way. It’s just wonderful.

K: How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom
So many current fandoms. There are awesome people I know in most of them, let’s start off with that. I don’t personally know many active Pretty Little Liars fans, though there are many on tumblr who are vaguely on my radar. But they make graphics and—well, like my tag says, fic is my primary form of fannish expression. I desperately wish there were more PLL fans who shared my priorities in terms of shipping and fic writing and why some ships are great and why there should be a lot more PLL porn in the world than there is. The demographic for this fandom skews pretty young and inexperienced, as people and as fans, so, not in love with that. But at least everyone’s fannish interest seems to center around one of the girls, which is great.

My other main-despite-still-being-behind fandom is The Vampire Diaries and again, I’ve surrounded myself with wonderful TVD fans who each have their priorities regarding the fandom but all are levelheaded and aware of the many, many issues the show has, and who talk intelligently about it. The fandom at large is a disaster, though. There is so much hate and the way people glorify killers and rapists is super gross—find them interesting, like them, sure, but glorifying their actions or excusing their behavior is not okay even if the characters are fictional. The ship wars are ridiculous and the Bonnie hate is ridiculous and the amount of kneejerk character hate is ridiculous. Also there are all these awesome possible pairings to be written and so little fic that I’m interested in or that is good enough to read, and it makes me sad, because if there ever was a show where people should be writing ALL THE FIC to fill in holes and fix things, that’s The Vampire Diaries. (And Glee. But I quit that.)

O: Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of
For the most part, if I have a main OTP or one I’m writing fic about, every single song reminds me of them. But I don’t really feel that way about Hanna/Caleb, so let’s see. Tumblr shuffle gave me “Lay Me Down” by The Wreckers. It reminds me of Spencer/Melissa. It’s pretty perfect for them, actually. “You don’t understand me/and you never really tried to” and “what could you possibly know about breaking down that I don’t” and “you let me in because after all it seemed like the right thing to do” and “if wanting you’s so wrong then I’m wrong” and “it’s been a while since I begged for anything but now I want more.” Yes.

V: Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping
I kind of am! And completely shameless about it, it’s just one of the ways I’m most inclined to engage with fiction. There are several things I watch without being invested necessarily in any ships—most of my sitcoms I have things I ship in, but not that I feel strongly about? So, like, Cougar Town is wonderful and I love Jules/Grayson but I’d watch without them, and I also ship Ellie/Laurie and Laurie/Grayson but I’m cool with the way the show does. I don’t ship anything on Parks really, and I love Brad/Jane on Happy Endings and it would be the worst decision if they ever broke up, but it doesn’t keep me up at night or anything. I was never a big shipper with Friday Night Lights, I just went wherever the show took me.

But for the most part there is always a ship I ship or a character/person I think up porn about in my head. It’s just the way I’m wired. I’m usually super predictable about my rarer ships, too. It’s usually f/f about women I find attractive or f/m involving age differences and/or authority figures. I’m comfortable with my choices.
