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

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.

[dancing_serpent]

YAY! This is so much fun! I'm doing my own version now, too. *g*

[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?

[cleverthylacine]

hahahaha okay :)

[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...

[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]

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

[ishtar79]

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

[cleverthylacine]

OK so I'm flummoxed because the only other shows I know with lawyers don't have demon hunters. Janeway/Tuvok? Archer/T'Pol? I have to say I don't know much about Tuvok (it seemed like he mostly stood around being pretty and under-used), I always thought most people shipped Janeway with Chakotay, and T'Pol never struck me as particularly rational for a Vulcan.

[cleverthylacine]

Ah okay, I didn't get 3 because I can't really even remotely stand Angel.

[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]

I just posted the replies. It was Janeway/Seven Of Nine, actually (people always seem to forget Voyager).

[ishtar79]

I doubt any one person would get all of them, there are too many fandoms in there.

[ishtar79]

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

[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.

[kabal42]

Very interested in answers. And DOH! I should SO have got Dean/Castiel! *headdesks*

I will have to do this one myself *G*

[ishtar79]

LMAO, your icon!

And yes, do the meme. I've been having so much fun trying to guess other people's list (and I kind of suck at it, but who cares?).

[salinea]

niiiiiice ♥

and damnit, I should have guessed Buffy/Faith and Mulder/Scully but it seeemed too obvious LOL

am doing the meme at my own journal! :)

[kabal42]

YES! *G* As in, why I SO should have figured that one out. So I obviously suck at it ;-)

[cleverthylacine]

OK, that makes more sense. I don't know why I didn't think of 7 of 9 as being logical.

[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.
