30 Days of Fanfic Writing Meme - Day Nine

[desertvixen]

 Today's question: Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?

 Get your popcorn... although not all fandoms HAVE 3 pairings...

1. Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys (SuperMystery books, 80s and 90s)

    Nancy/Frank - This is my main pairing, and pretty much the whole reason I write in the fandom.  I think they really work together, and I'm
       just not a Ned Nickerson fangirl.
    Fenton/Laura - What can I say, I'm a sucker for healthy relationships that last forever.
    Joe/Bess - They work for me on both a shallow, friendly level, and possibly a forever level.  Either way, they're a lot of fun.

2. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys (TV)

    Nancy/Frank - The dynamic between them is different, more of a "we could be great if we don't strangle each other" vibe.  The snap
      between them on the screen is pretty good too.

3. Dungeons and Dragons

    Eric/Sheila - This is an uncommon pairing in the fandom (I think I might have written the only one, as a Yuletide request) but the more
      canon I looked at, the more I saw it.

4. He Man & Masters of the Universe

    If I did anything with a pairing in this one, it would have to be Randor/Marlena.

5. Voltron (Lion Voltron)

    Keith/Allura - The hero gets the princess is a pretty standard trope, but I've always enjoyed it here.

6. Jem and the Holograms

    Jerrica/Rio - Jerrica, not Jem.  The serious girl doesn't deserve to lose everything.
  
7. GI Joe (cartoon)

     Duke/Scarlet - Yes, child of the 80s and cartoon fan first, I just prefer this one.
     Beach Head/Cover Girl - Not just because a good friend of mine pretty much started it, but because they work.  A little bit of opposites
       attract never hurts a story.

8. Bujold's Vorkosigan saga

    I haven't done anything with a pair, but I'd like to pull off a good Alys/Simon story.

9. Star Trek: New Frontier

    Mac/Shelby - Opposites attract again, and I think they're pretty much the hook for the whole series.
    McHenry/Soleta - I enjoyed this, another opposites attract/old friends trope.

10. Star Trek: TNG

     Picard/Crusher - Like I said, my first real shippy writing experience.
     Riker/Troi - I am a huge Peter David fan, what did you expect...

11. Babylon 5

      Sheridan/Delenn - I really enjoyed this one.
      Ivanova/Franklin - I've played with this some, and I think you could at least argue for a one night stand...
