My friend Emmyangua challenged me to the following meme on Tumblr.  It entertained me so much that I've decided to post it here too.


Choose 5 OTPs without looking at the questions first, then tag 5 more people.

1. Sherlock Holmes/Stanley Hopkins (BBC Sherlock)
2. Dr Watson/Inspector Lestrade (ACD Holmes)
3. Sam/Gene (Life on Mars)
4. Guy of Gisborne/Much (BBC Robin Hood)
5. Finch/Reese (Person of Interest)

1. Do you remember the first episode/scene/chapter you started shipping 5?
Fairly early on in the first season of Person of Interest.  I started watching at episode 5 and before episode 10 I was shipping them.

2. Have you ever read Fan Fiction about 2?
Some.  Although I suspect I wrote most of it.

3. Has 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr id?
No.  But then I don’t think anyone else ships it.

4. If 3 were to suddenly break up today, what would be your reaction?
They’re not going to.  This is one of the relationships that’s clearly set in stone.

5. Why is 1 so important?
Because it makes perfect sense.  Okay, I may be in a minority of one, but I’m right.

6. Is 4 a funny or a serious OTP?
I’m entirely serious about it.

7.  Which of these ships have the most chemistry?
Finch/Reese

8. Which ship has the strongest bond?
Watson/Lestrade.

9. How many times have you watched/read 2’s fandom?
Lost count.  Do join me on [livejournal.com profile] sherlock60 to continue the love.

10. Which OTP lasted the longest?
Sam/Gene has been my longest OTP.  Although Watson/Lestrade only ends with Lestrade’s death.

11. How many times has 5 broken up?
Can’t answer this one as I’m still waiting for season 3 to air in the UK, let alone season 4

12. If ships 1 and 3 were thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which do you think would survive?
Sam/Gene would be too busy being snarky about it all, so I’ll say Sherlock/Stanley.

13. Did 4 ever hide their relationship?
Probably – it’s not very well known

14. Is 5 still together?
Of course

15. Is 1 canon?
Sticks tongue out at Sherlock fandom.  Yes, of course!

16. If all the OTPs were put into the hunger games together, who do you think would survive?
What is this modern phenomenon of which you speak?

17. Has anyone ever tried to sabotage 5’s relationship?
Yes, but they won’t succeed.

18. Which OTP would you defend to death and beyond?
Have you noticed the number of rare pairs?

19. Have you ever spent hours per day on 3’s tumblr page?
No, because although they remain an OTP, for me they were pre-tumblr

20. If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you you had to choose one OTP to break up indefinitely, which would it be?
Sam/Gene, because they’d both tell her to F off and ignore her.
