Hehe. I, uh, ship. Quite a bit. In the "I spend half my spare time reading shipping-ish fanfiction" sense.
I have a habit of changing my OTP ever few months, but here's an abridged list of pairings I love to bits (past and present):
Slashy:
Phoenix/Edgey (PW series)
Angel/Collins (Rent)
Count D/Leon (Pet Shop of Horrors)
Light/Matsuda (Death Note)
House/Wilson (House)
Rod/Nicky (Ave Q)
Chad/Ryan (High School Musical)
Femslashy:
Rikku/Paine (FFX-2) - my first-ever OTP! X3
Pretty much any combination of the Azumanga Daioh females >>
Yomiko/Nancy (R.O.D.)
The Female Zero Team (Loveless)
Raine/Sheena (ToS)
Olivia/Alex (Law and Order: SVU)
Cameron/Thirteen (House)
Elliot/Jordan (Scrubs)
A big, crazy mix of The L Word cast
Buffy/Faith (Buffy)
Maureen/Joanne (Rent)
Glinda/Elphaba (Wicked)
Ash/Scribbs (Murder in Suburbia) - their position of OTP has just been usurped, but watch this to see why they're still epic
...aaaand at the moment, my absolute most favourite pairing ever is Willow/Tara from Buffy. Not only are they criminally adorable, they're also very, very canon and have a deliciously huge fanbase. And everyone in the world should love them as much as I do.
(I can't find any good clips on Youtube, but you can download a ton of clips here)
I have fanfic recs for most of the above and love nothing more than being a stereotypical fangirl and squeeing (or having an in-depth discussion, if you're into that kind of thing) over my favourite couple with someone, so pleeeease feel free to ramble at me about the greatness of anyone you see on my list.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with the fanfiction issue. >>;
Mm, I actually would like a (possibly in-depth? xD) discussion about Raine/Sheena. I've seen tons of 'shippers, and... I've never understood it. I'm weird like that. Explain plz? =D
(Also wondering about the D/Leon, buuut I can see where you'd get that from.)
Haha, as for OTPs, mine is wavering between Ayara/Jasper (Exit Fate!), Zelos/Lloyd (ToS), and Phoenix/Edgeworth (PW).

Technically, Willow gets two canon girlfriends, but nobody (from what I can tell) likes Kennedy.
And aaaah, you have to see the end of season 4 of Buffy; some of the absolute best episodes happen (Hush is regarded as one of the all-time greatest episodes, A New Man is one of the funniest, and Who Are You? has Faith and Buffy swapping bodies), and Tara is introduced, who has to be one of my favourite fictional characters evar <3
This is probably the best fic about them I've read, and details their relationship developing from their first meeting through to the end of season 4. It's, um, adultish in parts, but anything up to the Where The Wild Things Are episode should be somewhat safe. (Except perhaps the bit where Willow has an orgasm while performing a very, uh, heated magic spell with Tara during the Who Are You? chapter, but that actually happened in the episode. I'm serious. I'd love to know how that got past the censors.)
Lots of other people ship Raine/Sheena? Where??? I've only read a small amout of ToS fanfiction, but there wasn't much in the way of fem/slash, and what little there was wasn't very good.
My (hugely shallow) reason for shipping them initially was because I wanted to ship Raine with someone, and Sheena was the only one that didn't seem really weird. They don't interact much in-game (I think there're three skits featuring just them), but the interactions they do have are pretty interesting; I love Raine to bits and could analyse her personality till the cows come home, but I think it's strange how suspicious and catty she is towards Sheena when she joins the team, but later, when Zelos and Regal (who she has just as much reason to be suspicious of) want to join, she doesn't put up a fight. I'm not saying that's really any basis on which to claim a romantic relationship, but whatever relationship they do have is very different to their relationship with anyone else, and we're never given a reason why.
Ooh, I haven't read PSoH manga/PSoH fanfiction in absolutely ages, but their relationship was brilliant, too; I really loved how Leon knew he shouldn't like D and keep coming back to the pet shop time after time, but he still did. It doesn't have to be romantic, but the obsession Leon has with D and his animals is hinted at pretty strongly (I think his superior tells him more than once to stop hanging out there), D keeps forcing Leon to see the world in a way he never has before, and there are more Leon, Chris and D being one big (sometimes) happy family than you can count.
I like Lloyd/Zelos. I can't take Lloyd/anyone seriously enough to ship it big-time, but I can't deny it's absolutely adorable. And Phoenix/Edgey is fantastic because a romantic element to their relationship is strongly hinted at, but not made explicit, meaning fans can take them and do pretty much whatever they want without distorting canon. And, with the nature of the PW game, the resulting fics can be the funniest things ever or heartbreakingly depressing.
And oh my GOD I've just realized I left Fran/Adrian off my femslash list. I was obsessed with those two for the longest time. X3

...whoa. I'm taking it she gets over Xander~? =D
Mm. I'm going to assume that swapping bodies thing is cool, because I have no idea who Faith is yet! But yeah. The prospect that there's someone to 'ship Buffy with who isn't Angel is sounding very, very good, anyway.
I dunno; it's not super common or anything, but among femslash 'shippers, it seems to be the favorite pairing - like, moreso than Sheena/Colette and Colette/Presea, anyway. And yeah, not much good fanfiction for those. =/
Ahh... okay, then. Hm, maybe I should include a Raine/Sheena chapter in my 15-pairings fanfic or something...
Yes, I agree - D, Leon, and Chris = best happy family ever~ <3.14 I do absolutely adore their relationship, I just can't quite see it being romantic. But 's all good, either way.
I actually don't have a problem taking Lloyd seriously, for some weird reason. xD I dunno... he's goofy, but he's also quite mature in some ways, and I feel like he's really the person to give Zelos a good reality check. If that made any sense to anyone besides me? I can see him seeing the world a lot more clearly than Zelos would, anyway.
Nick/Edgey is the most hilariously almost-canon thing ever and I love it~ My brother isn't much of a 'shipper, let alone a slash 'shipper, and he's all, "...yeah, they're pretty much gay for each other. x3"
Seconding the Ziska/Adrian... have you seen Zarla's F/A comics? They're great.
(Also, this is random, but I have a bizarre urge to make you play Exit Fate or Last Scenario just to see if you could come up with slash shippings for them. I'm weird.)

... We need a sub-club for this. :D
I would totally ship P/E if the fangirls did not majorly scare me. D:
... As for slash/femslash, I'm a less active shipper there, but...
Warriors:
GrayxFire (obviously)
CinderxSandxSpotted (CANON)
HollyxCinderxWillow (also canon)
LittlexWhite(throat) (... what)
FirexTiger (epic)
FirexScourge (also epic)
BluexSpotted (... I just confused myself)
RunningxRagged (so very canon as of Long Shadows)
SolxPurdy (... I am not ashamed)
PW:
Klavier/Apollo (... did I seriously just admit to that)
Franziska/Adrian (whipping lessons, indeed)
Maya/Ema/Regina/Franziska (I have no idea)
Lana/Mia (clearly)
Pearl/Trucy (see previous)
the judge/Phoenix (... um. I have no excuse)
Klavier/everything, including inanimate objects (doesn't really belong in a slash section, but shh)
Grossberg/Redd White (Phoenix, you genius! 8D)
I think that's about all.
... I scare myself sometimes. :D

Yes, Willow gets over Xander rather well, indeed. I dunno how much you've seen, but she starts dating Oz, who eventually leaves because he finds (and, uh, sleeps with) another werewolf and wants to learn control his wolfie-ness. Willow's distraught about this and is depressed for a while before she meets Tara and becomes really close with her. Then Oz comes back and Willow's forced to pick between them, eventually choosing Tara. She identifies as a lesbian from then on - this is one of my favourite scenes:
Anya: You're lesbians, so the hating of men will come in handy. Let's talk about Xander.
Tara: Well, it's-it's really not so much about hating the men.
Willow: We're more centered around the... girl-on-girl action.
Anya: And men really like to watch that kind of stuff, don't they? Men like Xander!
Willow: Well, he's a guy, so it's really not a surprise that he likes to watch girls... why are we talking about this?
Anya: We're comforting me!
Tara: Well... I guess it's natural for guys to be interested in...
Anya: God! What kind of lesbians are you? If you love men so much, go love men!
Faith is very cool. The Buffy/Faith relationship isn't a very happy one (as a general rule, if you want cuddles and rainbows, 'ship Willow and Tara; if you want betrayal and angst, 'ship Buffy and Faith), but there are some awesomely 'shippy lines from when she's first introduced and wikiquote is being stupid and not having them... but they're funny.
No, I think you're right about Zelos/Lloyd, especially because of how insecure Zelos is (not surprising, given his home situation); and I think that, of the cast, Lloyd would be the best person for him, with the whole trust-and-loving-unconditionally-thing.
Hehe, I have all of Zarla's F/A comics (actually, all her other PW comics, too) saved om my computer. I loves them <3 Especially the ones based off the fic Follow the Fool because I love that fic so much. I haven't read it in ages, but it's one of my all-time fics ever :)
The writers and translators of the AA games are so obviously aware of all the 'shippers; it really wouldn't surprise me if they had some kind of requirement to weave in gay subtext between every single character; I still giggle every time I play the games and am told about Lana's intellectual attraction to Mia, or Maya wanting to marry Regina or... Armstrong in general. o.O
Yeah, the P/E fangirls are pretty scary; generally speaking, the 'ships I like tend to be relatively non-mainstream (especially since femslash is the least popular of the gender combinations - that said, on the LJ Wicked_Fic community, there are more Glinda/Elphaba fics than every other pairing combined), so it really scared me how many P/E fans there were and how... intesne some of them are. And because there are so many fics written about them, the quality's really variable; I've read some truly excellent fics, but seen many dire ones.
I hate myself for loving Pearl/Trucy as much as I do. There's nothing to hint at it; they don't even meet... but god, it's adorable. Kinda the same for Maya/Ema, but I feel less creepy about liking them.
Aww, the Warriors fandoms sounds like fun, but I know absolutely nothing about the characters or plot or anything.
And I might have to look into Exit Fate/Last Scenario, Salamander...what console are they on?

...Oz is a werewolf. WHAT. =O (Man, I'm getting so badly spoiled buuut I don't really care. >>)
And that scene sounds brilliant. <3 "What kind of lesbians are you?" xD
Mm... when does Faith get introduced? I'm in the middle of Season 2 right now. Haha, and I like to combine fluff and angst... but I'm bizarre, so yeah. Inadvertently (?) shippy lines are very fun, I'll admit... *cough*"HUG IT OUT WITH HIM"*cough*
Yeah; I love Zelos with both Lloyd and Colette (Colette because they have so much in common), but I think Lloyd is better romantically with him and Colette is better as a close friend. It's kind of surprising how everything Colette has in common with Zelos makes me almost like her. (Almost.)
Follow the Fool is amazing~ I especially love... what was that one by the same author? Scar Tissue, I think it was called? It had Matt and Celeste and hinted A/C. 'Twas cool.
Oh yeah; I think the AA writers and translators were just given free reign to put whatever the hell they wanted in those games. (I mean... Klavier's introductory line, much? o.O) Obviously, they did not care much for heterosexual subtext, that's clear enough.
...you see, this is why I stay away from the AA fandom. (Although... have you read the AU fic Shadows Passing? It's absolutely wonderful. I can link you if you like.)
Maya/Ema is adorable, for some reason. Pearl/Trucy, can't see quite so much, also for some reason. My brain makes no sense to me sometimes...
They're fun books; kind of like popcorn, actually, since they go pretty fast. There're a lot of them, but if you have the time, give 'em a try; they have nice plot and characters, especially the later ones imo.
EF and LS are freeware computer games. The guy's website is scfworks.com.

Oooh, I'll try and stop with the spoiling. Are you watching the series now? I've only seen up to the very beginning of series 5 (plus the musical episode in s6, which is the Best. Episode. EVER.), but I can't watch any more because I watch the episodes with my uni friends (Jemma got us all addicted - about a decade after everyone else) and we're on our Easter Break at the moment.
I can't remember exactly when Faith comes along... oh, early season 3, apparently.
Heehee, "hug it out with him". Nearly as good as "She's been giving me lessons on how to use a whip!". Or "I might not look it, but I'm good with my hands!" Oh, Adrian XD
And yup, Scar Tissue's by cantfakethefunk. He's done a couple of other A/F pieces... um, Guidence and the one where they get a cat and oh, it's been too long since I've read PW fanfics. Adrian/Celeste is a fantastic pairing when you just need painful, crushing angst. I mean, poor Adrian;
And no, I haven't read the AU fic you mentioned. Link, please? :)
I kinda wish we got to see grown-up Maya in AJ, if only to see if she's pairable with grown-up Ema. I mean, now Ema's got more of a personality, and, assuming Maya hasn't changed much in (I forget the time-gap between games) years, Maya'd love to cheer her up and make her less grumpy.
I blame my liking of Trucy/Pearl on a couple of cute (completely G-rated, I emphatically stress) fics I found on the PW kinkmeme. It's less odd if Pearl's somewhere near the age of consent instead of, say, six.
And ooh, I just remembered another PW pairing I love; Maya/Fran. Not very canon, I'll admit, but it would be all kinds of adorable, especially since Maya'd make Fran act like an 18-year-old instead of someone who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders.
I'll keep an eye out for the Warriors books, but I've got a stack of unread (I just typed "undead" XD) books in my room that's about four feet tall, so I'll work my way through those first X3
I may also check out EF and LS when I'm on a less crappy computer :D

The woman she loves doesn't notice, the men she looks up to drive Celeste to suicide - which in turn drives her to kill herself; she fails; she has to pretend to be one of the men's lovers, she very nearly gets imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit... I mean, suicide is a common theme in angsty fics, but very rarely is suicide/attempted suicide in any way canon.

Shadows Passing can be found here. It's quite well-written, imo.
I wish we got to see anyone from the original games in AJ. D: *coughEdgeworthFranziskacough*
Ahaha. And I kind of assumed the 'not still nine years old' thing was a given for Trucy/Pearl. At least, I hoped.
(It's okay. I'm balancing out your long posts with my quickly-typed, not-long ones. =D)

Leafpool: Okay, you've twisted my arm~
Also, I approve hugely of your usertitle :D
I really loved Oz; he's definitely one of my favourite characters... plus, he's short, and we all know how great short people are. I can't remember when the ep is or what it's called, but at some point Buffy suddenly starts hearing everyone's thoughts, and the inside of Oz's head is hilarious XD
I've seen some interviews and stuff, and the actor who plays him is absolutely nothing like him, which makes me laugh. They couldn't be more different X3
He and Willow were really cute together, but later episodes (plus a significant helping of fanfiction) means that Willow + males in general just does not compute.
And yes, in season 6 there is a musical episode. It's the greatest thing ever - I'd force you to watch it, but a) it's incredibly spoilerific - I ruined at least three major plot points by watching it out of order, and b) I can't find it anywhere.
Which is a real shame, because the video for Under Your Spell (a song Tara sings to Willow) isn't spoilery at all and the video and lyrics are hilarious. According to Joss' DVD commentary, part of the lyrics in Under Your Spell was "pornography" and that they were the dirtiest lyrics he had ever written. And the video really, really doesn't make it less suggestive. I'd marvel at how it got past the censors, but I had to explain to my 18-year-old friend why the line "You make me come...plete" (with emphasis on the first syllable of "complete") was in any way suggestive, so maybe I'm just a perv.
Oh, and I dunno if you knew this, but the creator of Buffy, Joss Whedon, is the guy who made Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. He's that great :D
...and I'm done ranting about the musical ep.
I haven't seen much of Angel (as in, the spin-off series), but I'm fairly sure Cordelia and Angel spend a fair bit of time together during at least one of the seasons, so the pairing's not as crazy as you think~
Yeah, not seeing Edgey/Fran/Larry/anyone in AJ was really disappointing, although it means fans can theorise as much as they want about what the old cast are doing now (I adore this more than words can say). Naturally, Fran and Adrian are married and have three children. :D

You can find some of the Amazon links to the books already released in the first post of the Warriors club if you need them. Those books are practically one giant shipfest.

I agree with Leafpool - the Warriors 'shippers are crazy. But in a good way! =D
(Also, what I said about the near-impossibility of slash pairings in EF/LS? Forget about that; I just thought of an EF slash pairing that won't get out of my head. Dx Totally not sharing it because it's such a guilty pleasure, but yeah!)

...I don't know why I kind of want to join this. I have no shipgoggles at all, I ship exactly two pairings, and one of them still mystifies me. :< Dannichu convinced me to come here anyway. Well, I do have platonic ships.
So eh. My romantic OTP is Mia/Diego from Phoenix Wright. I don't know why of all the potential couples in the world of fiction, their relationship magically made me care. Maybe I just love them both that much. I should note that I do see a whole bunch of subtext in the games (Mia and Lana probably had something going on in law school), but even where I do infer obvious attraction I don't consider myself to 'ship it' unless I actually care and would, say, seek out fanfiction for the pairing, which is only Mia/Diego. I don't normally read shipping fanfiction, since I'm not a romance fan.
Then, for the "whut" one, I have found myself to somehow ship one-sided Barney/Ted on How I Met Your Mother of all things. Yes, I have somehow completely convinced myself that Barney is really gay for Ted. This gets even more confusing because I absolutely do not think Ted is as much as remotely bi and in the actual show I just want to see Barney get with Robin. I think it's some sort of an acknowledgedly alternate-universe-but-not thing. I started to entertain it as a wacky theory within the first few episodes and didn't think it was much more than that, but then it made me absurdly happy to see Barney desperate for Ted's supposed gay dreams to be about him, and I think in some twisted way I really do sort of ship it. I don't know if any of you even watch that show, and it's a silly sitcom, and it isn't even precisely a pairing since it's strictly one-sided, so I don't know if I should even be rambling on about it. (Yes, I have actually looked for fanfiction of this, too, but I couldn't find a single one.)
Then I am very enthusiastic about my platonic OTPs, as in "I want them to live together forever somewhere on a fluffy cloud with their undying platonic love for one another totally outliving and outranking whatever romances they might get into":
Alan Shore/Denny Crane (Boston Legal) <333
Aaron/Lucario (eighth Pokémon movie)
Player/Partner (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1 and 2)
Laurence/Temeraire (Temeraire series)
To a lesser degree (where I am still actively interested in nothing getting in the way of their friendship), I also platonically ship quite a few other notable heterosexual life partners and other friends, but not quite to fluffy cloud levels.
So. Yeah. *slinks out of sight*

It's okay. There are a few sane 'shippers like you out there, too. (I think.)
Mm, Mia/Diego = kind of cool, I guess. A bit hard for me to not hate Diego, but I can definitely see the appeal anyway! (And yes, the Ace Attorney series goes crazy with subtext.)
...now you've made me want to watch whatever that show is, just to see whether or not you are, in fact, crazy. =x But yeah, one-sided is cool~ I find one-sided 'ships quite fascinating sometimes, actually. But perhaps I'm just weird.
Aaaah, another platonic 'shipper~ <3 I realize I recommend this to everyone in existence, but... try playing Last Scenario. It has amazing platonic relationships and an amazing sibling relationship and just awesomeness~ (Daniel+Jovian from Exit Fate is still my platonic OTP, but Ethan+Castor comes very close.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is: welcome to the dark side. We have cookies.

Whooooop!
I'm fairly sure it still counts as a pairing, even if it's one-sided; there are a bunch of ships that I only like if it's one-sided (Hana/Tohru from Fruits Basket, Willow/Buffy from BtVS and Adrian/Celeste from PW all jump to mind, but I know there's more), and while I don't really understand the appeal, the appeal is definitely there.
I also don't like Godot too much, but from the limited amount of M/D fanfiction I've seen, I think it's really cool how the fanfic authors tend to make Mia the more dominant/assertive one in the relationship.
Aaron+Lucario (where the + denotes a nonromantic but epic!friendship pairing) is fantastic. Same with Ash+Pikachu. Actually, while I jokingly support Ash/Pikachu, I don't think I like any Pokemon romantic 'ships at all. I think this might (in part) be because the sheer number of 'ships there are terrifies me to my very core.
I've been watching Friends recently with my sister and I still can't decide if I 'ship Joey and Chandler or not.
Oh! And I'm almost certain I'm the only person that watches it, but I absolutely adore Chloe+Edgar in 24. I love Chloe's interactions with pretty much anyone because she's so sarcastic, abrasive and ever-so-slightly autistic; some people are offended, some people get angry (I admit I love Bill's "We're in active code here, Chloe. We don't have time for your personality disorder."), but I get the feeling that Edgar's the only one that really gets her, and even though they couldn't be more different (he's lovely and friendly and completely unassertive) and Chloe's really mean to him, I'd love more than anything to see them hang out together at a time when terrorists aren't plotting/carrying out the destruction of Western civillisation.
Oh God, I was nearly crying at the end of Season 5 when they're going through his belongings and find the photo of him and Chloe smiling together ;~; And Chloe's reaction to his death in the first place... *blub*
I also, to a lesser extent, love Jack and Chloe's relationship (again, in a nonromantic way), especially how she's, for all her flaws, the one person in all the world he knows for sure he can trust.
I don't really 'ship Chloe romantically with anyone. I can't imagine her in a long-term relationship with anyone without it bordering on emotionally abusive. I read a hilarious, perfectly in-character Chloe/Audrey fic once, but there's not really a lot to base that relationship on. And Chloe's canon ex-husband annoys the hell out of me - he felt really tacked-on (as did most of Season 6), especially given that was was married to him before her introduction in Season 3, and pre-S3 Chloe having a husband Does Not Compute; hell, at one point she's looking after Kim's baby and pretending it's hers and her boyfriend's, and after her boss demands to know about it, she caves, saying "Okay, fine; she's not mine. I don't have a boyfriend.", to which Chapelle responds with a heavy layer of sarcasm "Well, I find that hard to believe".
This icon pretty much sums up Chloe and Edgar's relationship:
Chloe: GTFO Edgar, I'm hacking the NSA database )<
And this is their actors being adorable:
Eee~

I really, really wouldn't think I am! I was puzzled when I couldn't find any fanfiction, seriously. Okay, there is the part where Barney is the biggest womanizer in existence, but the way he reacts when it is implied he is not Ted's BEST FRIEND EVER and how after he slept with Robin his biggest concern was that he had been a bad Bro to Ted and how he wanted to make the best party ever for Ted to make him forgive him and how absolutely mortified he was when Ted didn't want to be his wingman anymore and how he immediately dropped the big important corporate meeting he was having when he heard Ted had a car accident and and and. D: And then he pretended to be the woman Ted was dating in text messages to try to seduce him and really wants Ted to have gay dreams about him! Okay, so he did that with Marshall and I don't think Marshall is gay for Ted, but he is just silly and does that kind of thing. It's perfectly rational, I swear! D:
...in all seriousness, How I Met Your Mother is pretty fun. You should try watching a few episodes and see how you like it.
Oh, yes, it is. Did you see the little scene in the end credits where Lucario is giving Aaron chocolate? I swear is is the most adorable thing ever. :3Dannichu said:
