I couldn't resist doing this one. I tried to make at least some of my answers different to ariadneelda's (too much overlap in our fandoms), and stuck to one pairing per fandom.

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.

1. The Well-Intentioned Leader Who Has Issues With Boundaries/ The Well-Intentioned Villain Who Has Too Many Feelings Xavier/Magneto
2. The Hero Feeling The Conflict Between The Weight Of The World And What They Want/The Other One, Who Just Takes What They Want Buffy/Faith
3. The Morally Dubious Demon Hunter Who Makes Scruffy Look Good/The Amoral Lawyer Who Makes Anything Look Good Wesley/Lilah
4. The Geeky Yet Hot Hacker/The Offbeat Cat-Burglar Hardison/Parker
5. The Self-Destructive Millionaire Alcoholic With Control Issues/The Consummate Boyscout Iron-Man/Captain America
6. The Mercenary Who Loves Weapons/The Girl Who Is A Weapon Jayne/River
7. Villains Fear His Witty One-Liners/Villains Fear His Epic Manpain Spider-Man/Daredevil
8. The Brash Young Hero In Dire Need Of A Hairbrush/The Duplicitous Antihero In Dire Need Of Some Hair Products Harry/Snape
9. The Plucky Little Budding Sociopath/ The Bastard Who Invented Emo In His Universe Arya Stark/Jon Snow
10. The Hero Whose Extraordinary Abilities Allow Him To Do Anything But Tell A Convincing Lie/ The Scientist/Business Mogul With (justifiable) Trust Issues Clark/Lex
11. The Detective With A Heroic Past Who Loves Booze and Cursing/ The Hero With The Unbreakable Skin Who Hates Authority And Loves Self-Destructive Women Luke Cage/Jessica Jones
12. The Egotistical, Philandering, Charismatic Talented Liar/The Mother Of The Year Don Draper/Betty Draper
13. The Competent And Sexy Linguist/The Emotionally Repressed Science Geek With Mummy Issues Uhura/Spock
14. The Deceptively Simple Tailor/The Deceptively Naive Doctor Garak/Bashir
15. The Lab Tech With The Dark Passenger/The Detective With The Big Mouth Dexter/Deb
16. The Ass-Kicking, Heavy-Drinking, Emotionally Fucked-Up Pilot/The Robot Who Can Talk Anyone's Head Off Starbuck/Leoben
17. The Whiny One Who Does A Passable Batman Voice And Won't Stay Dead/GOD Dean/Castiel

Oh, another one! Shiny!

08. Harry/Snape
13. Uhura/Spock
14. Garak/Bashir


...*wince* not doing too well on your version, I fear. *g*

[ishtar79]

These are correct! :)

And heh, don't worry, I've got quite a few random fandoms in there.

[cleverthylacine]

...you ship Dexter with Deb?

[ishtar79]

Well, not in the sense that I'd want it to happen on the show, but yeah, I've read and I quite like it in fic.

[cleverthylacine]

3. Sam/Dean?
4. Hardison/Parker
5. Tony/Steve
6. Jayne/River
13. Uhura/Spock (but I hope not, I love them both but not together lol)
15. Dexter/Deb???
19. Mulder/Scully
20. Picard/Data?

[ishtar79]

Correct, except #3 and #20 (it's The Other Other Captain/Rational Crew Member).

[salinea]

1. Xavier/Magneto :p

now to figure out if i know any of your other ships...

[ishtar79]

I had no doubt you would get this one! :D

[salinea]

3. Wesley/Lilah ♥
5. Is that Cap/Ironman?
6. Jayne/River?
15/Dexter/Someone???
16/Starbuck/Leoben?

am now feeling curious about a lot of those.

[ishtar79]

All correct! I'll post the answers some time tomorrow.

[ishtar79]

In case you're still curious, I edited in the answers!

[kabal42]

Damn, I got Ironman/Captian America, but someone else did too ;-) Same for Harry/Snape and Jayne/River.

Is #07 Sam/Dean? My guess for #20 is Janeway/Chakotay, but I'm probably wrong ;-)

[ishtar79]

Hey, multiple people had the same guesses anyway. I do generally presume people aren't peeking at the answers anyway (because what would be the point?).

Heh, no on both, but I'm thrilled somebody at least remembered Janeway. I just edited the post with the answers, in case you're curious.

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Haha, I love your descriptions!

Okay, let's try...

3. Wesley/Lilah
5. Tony/Steve
6. Jayne/River
7. Spiderman/Daredevil ;)
8. Harry/Snape
9. Arya/Jon
10.Clark/Lex
11. Jessica/Luke
12. Don/Betty?
15. Dexter/Debra
16. Starbuck/Leoben
17. Dean/Castiel? (haha)
20. Sounds like Kirk/Spock but apparently isn't.

And argh, what are the ones I can't guess at all?? I hope it's fandoms I'm not familiar with. Or I'll be headdesking once you tell me.

[ishtar79.livejournal.com]

Good guesses (YAY, you got Jess/Luke!). I'll tell you the rest over the phone.

[oaktree89.livejournal.com]

1: Professor X/Magneto
6. Jayne Cobb/River Tam

[ishtar79.livejournal.com]

Correct! :)

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

OMG, how fun. I love #1

5. Cap/Tony?

4. Parker/Haridson?

13. Spock/Uhura?

15. Dexter/Deb?

17. Jason Todd/Yaweh?

19. Mulder/Scully?

I totally want to do this...

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

12. Good lord, I missed this one. Is that Don/Betty?

[ishtar79.livejournal.com]

All correct except #17! (And I'm so happy somebody got Parker/Hardison, I don't think I've ever even mentioned Leverage in my lj).

And yes, DO IT. It's fun, though surprisingly frustrating (both coming up with pairings/descriptions, and guessing other people's).

[lokifan]

1. Thor/Loki?
2. Buffy/Faith
3. Wesley/Lindsay
5. Tony/Steve
10. Er, Superman/Tony?
14. Ianto/Doctor
15. Dexter/someone
19. Mulder/Scully

[lokifan]

4. Wait, I'm an idiot. Wesley/Lilah!

[ishtar79.livejournal.com]

1) Nope, but it's still comics
2) Of course!
3) No, but that one definitely fits too
5)Yes!
10) Nope!
14) No (but heh, it's funny how so many of those have a lot of potentially correct answers)
15 and 19)-yes!

[embers-log.livejournal.com]

Oh these are so funny! I have no guesses... (I did get Jayne/River of course, and I was thrilled you ship them too!) but I'm really enjoy reading everyone else's....

They FINALLY posted Dexter & Merlin (and Misfits) at my streaming video site... but my brother is here for Thanksgiving so I have to wait to watch them....

[ishtar79.livejournal.com]

I hope you're having a good Thanksgiving! I haven't watched this season of Misfits yet, but Dexter has been great.

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

20. Picard/Data?

[ishtar79.livejournal.com]

Actually, Janeway/Seven Of Nine. Nobody guessed it (I have the rest of the answers up too).
