20 OTPs? Are you crazy?

I've seen this kicking around - I just have to assume it's a meme, but it didn't come with instructions. However, the description kind of says it all. I assume that you pick 20 OTPs and list them.

Like hell I have 20 OTPs. You guys get ten. I think third_requiem only listed five on her journal anyway. Granted, she actually gave reasons for each of them...

Ah well.


1. Ken x Daisuke (Digimon 02)
2. Trowa x Quatre (Gundam Wing)
3. Ken x Omi (Weiss Kreuz)
4. Akira x Hikaru (Hikaru no Go)
5. Killua x Gon (Hunter X Hunter)
6. Tsuzuki x Hisoka (Yami no Matsuei)
7. Touya x Yukito (Card Captor Sakura)
8. Kit x Nita (Young Wizards)
9. Cooro x Husky (+Anima)
10. Leorio x Kurapika (Hunter X Hunter)

Hunter X Hunter is the only anime that has two... huh. Does it mess up the definition of OTP if you have two in one fandom? I always thought OTP meant a pairing that you wouldn't want to see broken up for any other pairing, so I figured they'd both fit.

I wrote three fics for Orphen, but I'm glad you read and liked one of them. That's always nice to hear. Also, Orphen Revenge is a hundred times better than the original Orphen.

I don't really have other OTPs, in series I fangirl over or not. Because most of the time, I either think they could possibly end up with someone else, or I don't really care if they do or don't. So it doesn't count as an OTP.

These ones are all pairings I would not want to see - and really, couldn't see - split up.

It's been such a long time since I actually read Orphen fic that it's blurred together, but the one I remember that was yours was the Majic transported to Orphen's world AU. ♥

As I said, my definition of OTP is a very flexible thing, because I just can't take it seriously concerning my own favored pairings no matter what. Certain ones - Renji and Rukia, Trowa and Quatre - I do find it near impossible for them to have a different partner, but if I kept to the No One Else For Them I would probably only have three pairings to list.

Oh, the long fic. That one was fun to write. Glad you liked it!

I actually get pretty possessive of my pairings most of the time, so I tend to wind up with several where I just can't see them with anyone else. (not that it's not possible, it's just that I don't want to, so in my mind, that's how it is) That's what my definition of OTP is, anyway. If it's a pairing I like but I can see them with other people, I'd just call it a 'favorite'.

Not that the definition is important - everyone's got their own idea of 'one true pairing', and it's fandom, so it's not a good idea to take it THAT seriously anyway.
