Okay:
My favourite fandom is probably ACD (bookverse) Sherlock Holmes.
My OTP is from my second favourite fandom: Spooks (MI5), Lucas North/Adam Carter
The strangest pairing I've written is pot/kettle for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
My favourite piece of head canon is Lucas North has a passion for cake of all sorts.

[lightofdaye]

I admit I've only seen the RDJ version and some Sherlock rather than the books. I should read them sometime. Likewise Spooks, heard nothing but good things. Never got around to seeing it.

Cake is good! Every should have a passion for it, I think.

:D I have a suggestion on this!

[nevrafire]

If you want to watch a Really good Adaptation of Sherlock Holmes you should Definitely Check out 1984-1994 Granada version with Jeremy Brett.

in my opinion it is the Best adaptation and the most faithful to the books.

Re: :D I have a suggestion on this!

[lightofdaye]

I'll keep an eye out for it. Cheers.

[alisanne]

Ooh fun!

- Harry Potter
- Harry/Severus
- Oh boy...it's prolly a tossup between Minerva/Buckbeak and Minerva/Giant squid (although honestly I have written or will eventually write every pairing)
- Severus Snape was raised in a religious home and, at times of stress, reverts to that upbringing.

[lightofdaye]

Well those first two aren't surprising. But I didn't know Minerva creature fic was your jam :)

That's an interesting idea about Snape, what would he do? Resort to prayer?

[alisanne]

Ha! I never said it was my jam. :P

And yes, I can see a desperate Snape resorting to emergency prayer. :)

[lightofdaye]

You'd didn't have to say it. It's obvious! lol.

[alisanne]

Hm. And here I'd hoped I'd hidden it pretty well...

[mf_luder_xf]

How fun!

fav fandom: Only one?! If we're talking fandom as a whole, not just because of a pairing or the actual show itself, I'd probably say The X-Files because it's where I started and I always felt so welcomed even when people disagreed with ship preferences or whatever.
OTP: My definition of OTP tends to be "dominant pairing but I like OT3s and other pairings sometimes" but if I had to identify a pairing that I really struggle if they don't end up together and I don't tend to read other pairings of (unless OT3), it'd be Tony Stark/Steve Rogers.
strangest pairing If you mean weirdest I've written, Peter Petrelli/Dean Winchester. The strangest I've read? That's so hard to define. Some that stand out are the double Stiles or double Derek Sterek fics, or the Once A Thief fic that had double Mac and double Vic. I feel like I read some really random pairings back in the Heroes days, too, but I can't think of specifics.
fav headcanon:Hmm. Maybe that nearly every character I ship is bi? I've always found it the easiest way to rectify canon with fanon ships. Related, I really see Steve Rogers, Stiles Stilinski, and Kara Danvers/Zor-el as bi and the kind of bis who wear cheesy tees and make bi jokes and respond to those bi memes like "are you a leather jacket bi or peacoat bi?" with BOTH, BOTH IS GOOD. Dean Winchester is also very bi, but less with the overt flag waving and t-shirts.

[lightofdaye]

Cool! Everyone being bi does making things much easier.

Okay ...

>>If you like tell me:

I like many, but I write the most in Avengers.

>> -your OTP <<

Sam/Frodo in The Hobbit, which is ... not explicitly canon, but well supported.

>> -strangest pairing you've done <<

Probably Quinn/Jean-Claude (as exes).

>> -your favourite piece of head-canon. <<

Bruce-and-Hulk are a plural person.

Re: Okay ...

[lightofdaye]

I like the MCU, never written for it.

Sam/Frodo is probably up there with Kirk/Sock in terms of the first slash pairings.

Re: Okay ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Yes, and both of those are generously founded in canon. I mean it doesn't get much more explicit -- in what you could put on general television -- than Amok Time. :D

[spikedluv]

your favourite fandom: That's hard because I have so many fandoms. Probably MCU (mainly The Avengers/AOS and Captain America)
your OTP: AND I have an OTP in every fandom, so sticking with the MCU theme, I'll say Steve/Bucky
strangest pairing you've done: Off the top of my head I can't think of anything strange, but in the Numb3rs fandom I wrote some unusual-for-me (see above re OTP) pairings with guest/recurring characters, such as Don/Howard, Don/Oswald, and Don/Jeff.
your favourite piece of head-canon: So many! I'll go with my Peter/Chris (Teen Wolf) headcanon that Peter and Chris were together when they were younger (HS). Gerard found out and sent Chris away (Chris went to keep Peter safe). This is why Gerard hated the Hales so much and why he had Kate do what she did years later. (vague, trying not to spoil for those who may still want to watch)

[lightofdaye]

I always love that people always have multiple OTPs given the source of that acronym.

Thanks for sharing.

[spikedluv]

Nobody said you couldn't have One True Pairing in each fandom. *g*

[shaddyr]

Oooh, hard question.
Favourite fandom: still SGA, but I'm kind of having an affair with HP at the moment. I tend towards serial monogamy with my fandoms.

OTP: for SGA, McShep and for HP, well I am definitely Drarry minded.

Strangest pairing I've done: Ah, nothing really strange, just fairly uncommon/unpopular. I wrote an SGA secret Santa fic for someone that was Rodney/Cadmen.

Favourite head-canon: oh, there are so many. One of my faves is very sad. It was a story were Rodney had a baby that had been kidnapped and in the episode 48 hours, he was being forced to allow Teal'c to die in the Stargate buffer. When Teal'c survived - this is where the author tears your heart out, throws it on the floor and lights it on fire - his child is murdered in front of him. Jack knows what has happened and he's sent to Siberia not as punishment but to protect him and basically put him on suicide watch. Its very moving and I liked it way better than him just being a jerk.

[lightofdaye]

Ahh. SGA was great. I was very disgruntled when they cancelled it early in favour of SGU, which I never managed to watch.

That does sound like an intense story.

[nevrafire]

-your favourite fandom: Besides Harry Potter? XP I guess you could say Sherlock and Avatar: the last airbender- but I never did fannish stuff for them. oh! definitely Outlander and Percy Jackson.

-your OTP
It's a three way tie between Romione, GinnyXNeville and HarryXSusan (but honorary place for HarryXDemelza which you introduced me to :))

-strangest pairing you've done
I'm not one for weird pairings. if it doesn't make sense to me I tend to not get interested. But I remember I once read a Minerva McGonagall/Rufus Scrimgeour one shot and it was quite good and got me curious on the pairing. (Sadly I never seen another fanfic with that pairing)
also I seem to remember I once wrote a Xenophilius Lovegood/Sybil Trelawney one shot.

-your favourite piece of head-canon.
oooh I have so many!
*I like to headcanon Susan Bones as left-handed, and working as a Healer/Medi-witch after the War.
*Kingsley Shaklebolt was in the same year as the Marauders
*Harry Potter has a good singing voice, but he doesn't like singing in public.
*Neville's Patronus is a bear
*Albus Potter loves flying/Quidditch but didn't join the team, instead he was the quidditch commentator. (and he's a Ravenclaw and TCC can Bite Me!)

[lightofdaye]

Ha! Harry/Demelza, that takes me back. Such fun writing those and your other pairings are lovely.

I really dig that Albus head!canon. Very cool.

[dreamwriters]

I'm replying to various challenges throughout the year; you get my reply today!

Favorite fandom: Ace Attorney with Welcome to Night Vale and The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air) as close second and third.

OTP: Honestly don't have one; for as long as I can remember I've been a multishipper and I sincerely doubt that will ever change.

Strangest pairing: Toss up between Lavender Brown/Sybil Trelawney (Harry Potter) and Sebastian/Soma Cruz (Crossover Walks Into A Bar Challenge WIP [unposted]: Harvest Moon DS/Castlevania Sorrows Arc)

Headcanon:
I have too many. Here's some of them:

- Ace Attorney: Both Miles Edgeworth and Vera Misham are demisexual and demiromantic.

- Ace Attorney: Canon redacted this, but I have a universe where Apollo's adoptive family has a Friday Night Drag Show that's a family affair with guests.

- Fusion Fic Headcanon [The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air)/World of All Souls - Deborah Harkness] Julian the Janitor is a Weaver. (A rare type of witch that can't use existing magic spells; they have to create new ones of their own).

- Welcome to Night Vale: Michelle with her concert/séance experience is secretly an expert at knife-throwing and fire-spinning (though she doesn't advertise those skills because they're too mainstream in Night Vale).

- Welcome to Night Vale: Maureen is a walking encyclopedia of Night Vale traditions and has always been an overachiever (though she doesn't believe in Night Vale's adherence to fate).

[lightofdaye]

This was such a pleasant surprise to receive a response for. Thanks very much for sharing.

Multishipping is great! Why restrict yourself! :D
