Do the meme!

(Entirely meme-unrelated thought first: I now have finished drafts for TWO Yuletide treats, yay! Both of which are comfortably over the 1000-word mark, so maybe I should have signed up anyway. Dang. No reason to be glum, though, I'm sure I'll enjoy all of the lovely fic written for others just as much! *counts the days longingly*)

Now, as for the meme (via

Predictably... Harry Potter! *lures* (Hey, it's my Potterfic journal. I have to.) :)

(And TOS, because I cannot resist its technicolor awesome.)

Favorite character: Used to be Lupin, but my love for him cooled a bit later on, especially after his reaction to imminent fatherhood. These days it's Snape, hands down. Among the youngsters, Luna, because she's awesome.
Least Favorite character: Gilderoy Lockhart. Who should have been one of those characters I love to hate, but for some reason I just found him too annoying to even tolerate on the page, let alone on the screen. (Sorry, Kenneth Branagh!)
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Severus/Albus, Severus/Minerva, Neville/Luna, Ron/Hermione, Remus/Sirius
Character I find most attractive: Going by the movies rather than the novels: seventh-year Neville is really very handsome, and much more my type than, say, Harry or Ron. Of the women: please kill me, but purely physically, I'd have to go with Bellatrix. Who is as gorgeous as she is evil.
Character I would marry: Not a lot of marriage material here, but... again, I'd take Neville over everyone else. Loyal, brave, and a great dry sense of humor, sounds like a good combination.
Character I would be best friends with: Realistically, when I was fifteen or so, it would have been Hermione, because there was a time when I was just like her. Later on, Luna. Of the adults: Minerva seems like she'd be great to hang out with!
A random thought: The thought of Ron, having carried Wormtail in his vest pocket for all those years, has never stopped grossing me out, and I never understood why Ron, after the first shock has passed, doesn't seem to be too terribly bothered by it at all.
An unpopular opinion: I actually liked Harry/Ginny, both in the books and in the movies.
Canon OTP: Severus/His Issues? If that's not allowed: Neville/Luna is movie canon, right? In book canon: Ron/Hermione for the youngsters, Dumbledore/Grindelwald for the adults.
Non-canon OTP: I... don't think I have one? There are a number of pairings I can appreciate, but in general I tend to go for gen in this fandom.
Most badass character: I'll have to go with Dumbledore.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Snarry. I'm sorry, it just - teacher/student squick all the way, and apart from that I really can't see them together.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Tonks, of which I wish we'd been shown another side than her relationship with / pining over Lupin.
Favourite friendship: Harry & Hermione, later on Harry & Luna. For the adults, Remus & Sirius, and Dumbledore & Snape, if one can call that a friendship (I think it is, if only because imho two people who've sharing so many dark secrets for so many years can only end up as friends or enemies).
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Adopt: Hedwig! Be adopted by: Molly and Arthur Weasley.

PS: I didn't know you were a TOS (or even a Trek) fan, too! The list follows shortly!

Twin Peaks, natch.

Favorite character: Coop at first, became Albert later on. Among the youngsters, definitely Audrey - not in the early episodes, but as the show progressed I really came to love her.
Least Favorite character: Donna, who never did grow on me. There were other characters I wasn't too fond of, like Hank or James, but there was always something about Donna's characterization that really nagged at me - I just found it very hard to sympathize with her, for some reason that I still can't quite put a finger on.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Pairings are a weird thing for me in this fandom. At some level, I could ship nearly everyone with nearly everyone else because canon is so screwed-up already that a pairing can hardly be more screwed-up than a random canon moment... But on the other hand I'm very difficult about my Twin Peaks pairings: in fic, for instance, they need to be done just right for me to enjoy them. So any list I make is probably going to be very conditional and very random. But let's say, apart from Dale/Albert which is probably the closest thing to an OTP that I've got: Bobby/Shelly, Ben/Catherine (in a screwed-up, power-dynamic kind of way), um... Harry/Albert, Audrey/Denise? Random list is random, I'm sorry.
Character I find most attractive: Audrey, no doubt there. Among the men, I'm one of the probably very few (?) who'd pick Albert before Coop, any time.
Character I would marry: No one, sorry. I still need to find the first character in this show who's not totally dysfunctional on the relationship front...
Character I would be best friends with: Maddie. Because she's introverted and kind and caring, and seems like the kind of person that I would just naturally gravitate to.
A random thought: I wish I liked my coffee black. But I just can't get it down without either milk or sugar, which is kind of lame, because sugared coffee doesn't really taste like coffee, does it?
An unpopular opinion: I like Annie. I'm not sure whether I liked her the first time I was watching the show, but I've grown quite fond of her since then. I think it was a pity she wasn't done more justice by canon, because when handled properly she and Coop could really have been perfect together.
Canon OTP: Cooper/pie. Sorry, nothing beats Cooper/pie. Not even Cooper/coffee! :)
Non-canon OTP: Dale/Albert, natch.
Most badass character: Catherine Martell.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Shelley/Gordon, which for some reason seems to be a rather popular pairing over at FF.Net. For some reason (the age difference is a part, but not all of it) it just feels wrong to me. Purely my personal feeling, of course.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): At the end, nearly every character had been screwed up one way or another, but... Donna and Annie, in particular, could have been so much more.
Favourite friendship: Tied between Dale & Audrey and Dale & Harry, both of which are relationships that I prefer on a gen rather than a shippy level.
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Are you kidding? With all the lousy parents on this show... *ponders* But Lucy would do a good job, I'm sure, and both Major Briggs and Dr Hayward are actually pretty decent fathers, all things considered. Or Denise? Something makes me think Denise would make a great parent!
