Trying out The Shipping Meme thing

shadowkatgakked from oyceter Because I agree
with almost all her choices. I'm not really a true shipper though. Except with fanfic, when I read it. On the show? I just want a good story and ships that evolve character. If the characters stagnates in the ship - kill it! Please? Outside of that? Anything goes.
An additional point - these are all my choices, I do vary from oyceter at times. But I'm lazy so I gakked some of her words instead of writing my own. ;-) So do not assume they are all her's.
ALIAS:
One True Pairing Ship: don't really have one. Probably Irina/Jack
Canon Ship: Jack/Irina, Sloane/Emily,Sark/Allison, maybe Will/Sydney
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" 'Ship: Sydney/Vaughn. I know. I think this is what happens when I watch shows without the internet. I form very unpopular fannish opinions. But then, fell in love with Buffy with S/B in FFL. Also, Sydney/Will. I HATE romance triangles with a passion. (Heh! I stold oyceter's comments b/c uhm she basically read my mind - this is "exactly" what happened to me. )
"You are one sick bastard" 'Ship: Er. Probably anything incesty. Alias I actually ship uncanonically, which is pretty rare for me. (yep she does it again!)
"I dabble a little" 'Ship: Havin's thought about it to be honest.
"It's like a car crash" 'Ship: Sydney/Vaughn
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" 'Ship: Sark/Sydney
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" 'Ship: Sark/Sydney
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" 'Ship: Sydney/Vaughn.
"When all is said and done" 'Ship: Jack/Irina
BUFFY:
One True Pairing Ship: Spike/Buffy, Willow/Tara, and Giles/Jenny
Canon Ship: Spike/Buffy, errr... ok, all of them. Except Buffy/Angel after S3. It was over for me by then. (Also does not help that I've seen Lolita a few times since then and know for a fact that Whedon is a Kubrick fanatic...and used it.)
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" 'Ship: Ummmmm. Buffy and Dawn? Squick. Big time. Also Giles/Buffy.
"You are one sick bastard" 'Ship: See the nasty incestiness.
"I dabble a little" 'Ship: Giles/Joyce. Spike/Angelus, Faith/Spike
"It's like a car crash" 'Ship: Spike/Buffy, S6 nastiness. Yeeeeeeah. (yep me too!)
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" 'Ship: Anya/Andrew?
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" 'Ship: Spike/Xander,(I like the odd coupleness) Faith/Buffy
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" 'Ship: Buffy/Angel. (I loved them in S1-2, Also in S3, after that? Done.)
"When all is said and done" 'Ship: Spike/Buffy. Note, this is not why I don't grok Buffy/Angel. I think it's her being in high school and the older man thing. (unlike oyceter, I watched from the beginning on both shows, and had loved the B/A ship, the writers just managed to convince me beyond a shadow of a doubt that these two people should not be together - they did it in The Prom, Lover's Walk, Graduation Day, Pangs, IWRY, Sanctuary, Guise Will Be Guise, Deep Down, End of Days, Forever, Fredless, and Life Serial. Also the advent of both Riley and how Buffy dealt and Spike...made it clear that Angel was her unattainable, romantic ideal but in reality?
A huge mistake. When I rewatched the episodes in S1 and S2, I also started seeing all the visual metaphors about Lolita - if you ever see the Stanley Kubrick version...you'll understand why I'll never look at Buffy and Angel the same way again...the scene in Becoming where he looks at her through the car window and she's sucking a lollipop, right out of Lolita, not exact, but disturbingly similar, as is the scene in Innocence when she comes to his apartment. And the scene in Passion when he goes after Joyce. )
ANGEL:
One True Pairing Ship: Wes/Lilah
Canon Ship: Wes/Lilah, Angel/Darla. (adding Dru/Spike)
Interstingly, Angel has very few canon ships I like. Liked Cordy/Angel in fic, but not in canon.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" 'Ship: Wes/Fred. The sheer pain of humiliating rejection gets me every time.
"You are one sick bastard" 'Ship: Connor/Cordy?
"I dabble a little" 'Ship: Wes/Gunn, Spike/Angel (also Faith/Wes, and Darla/Dru)
"It's like a car crash" 'Ship: Angel/Darla, Wes/Lilah.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" 'Ship: Spike/Fred (possibly Angel/Spike)
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" 'Ship: Lorne and anyone?
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" 'Ship: I think in Angel I'm mostly with the majority. Or at least I have nothing I am pretty not into that everyone else is.
"When all is said and done" 'Ship: Wes/Lilah. In a messy, ugly, twisted fashion.
(Okay I admit, I just about used oyceter's words all the way through the Angel one...well with a few exceptions, but oyceter and I seem to be in almost complete agreement on the shipping thing. It's amazing...first one online that I've found.)
