Take me away from the one-eyed men...

Someone on scifibrain.com posted a list of the Top Twelve Slashiest Couples.

There's explanations behind each of them, but the basic list is as follows:

12) Kirk/Spock (Star Trek)
11) Simon/Mal or Jayne (Firefly/Serenity)
10) Cyclops/Wolverine (X-Men)
09) John/Rodney (Stargate: Atlantis)
08) Bashir/Garak (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
07) Chakotay/Paris (Star Trek: Voyager)
06) Mulder/Krycek (The X-Files)
05) Clark/Lex (Smallville)
04) LotR Guys (The Lord of the Rings)
03) Angel/Spike (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer/Angel)
02) Jack/Daniel (Stargate SG1)
01) Jim/Blair (The Sentinel)

The only one I blinked at was number 10. Scott/Logan is probably the biggest slash pairing for the movie (even though it's blatantly obviously that Erik and Charles are ex-lovers *grin*), but where the comics are concerned, I would say not. Maybe it's more to do with the lists I'm on, but I would say Bobby/Remy is a bigger pairing than Scott/Logan is. Hell, Remy/Logan is a bigger pairing than Scott/Logan is *grin* And Bobby/Jean Paul is up there, as well. (Possibly because that one's canonical.)

Of course, I completely understand that my initial reaction of 'Only in the movie-verse!' is merely symptomatic of my entire gut reaction to Cyclops - which is, and will always be, "Eewwwww!"

McKay/Sheppard is lower than Chakotay/Paris??? WTF?

Die, Chakotay. Die!

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

The main advantage of most of this pairing is their age. I think SGA has the potential to beat them all. :D Although, frankly, I don't care; I just want all the stories that would imply. hee.

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

*these pairings*

sighs

I know how to use this/these, but I still make the error more often than not.

[tikiberry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree. The amount of McKay/Sheppard fics SGA fans are generating a *day* is amazing.

We shall rule them ALL!!!

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

*laughs an evil laugh*

I like your icon. :)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

We're already the fandom that eats people *g*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Most likely only because of the age factor. Give SGA a few more years and it'll be number 1 *g*

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

Star Wars didn't make the top twelve? It was a *huge* fandom, based on a movie where one of the main characters for the pairing *died*.

Hmph!

Also, I like Scott. :) But my whole interest for Scott/Logan is based on the movies, not the comics.

[tikiberry.livejournal.com]

My ultimate movieverse X-men pairing is Bobby/Logan. I mean, that scene with the beer? Whoa.

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

I don't remember that scene. Huh. :) I'm very excited about the next movie. :)

I like your icon, because it reminds me of my insane plot bunny : Atlantis as a prison colony, from where Rodney, John, Teyla and Ronon escape. They then become pirates. ;)

plot bunny

[gaylarain.livejournal.com]

Your plot bunny reminds me of a plot bunny of my own. An AU where Caldwell got Atlantis and Sheppard got the Daedalus, then he goes Wraith hunting in a very Piratical way. The only thing is that I can't think up a good enough reason for McKay to be a member of the Daedalus crew, and if he's not there the rest just wouldn't work. pouts.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Charles/Erik for me. But that's possibly because I think both Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart absolutely *nailed* the characterisations. And it's also a hold over from the comics. I don't think you can be X-fen without believing in Charles/Erik even just a little.

[mandragora1.livejournal.com]

I think the list is actually just one person's opinion. And therefore just as authoritative as your list, or mine. And for the record mine looks somewhat different...

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

As does mine, which has Methos/Kronos and Ben Fraser/Ray Vecchio in there somewhere *g*

And also, if she was going to go for Trek pairings, why leave out Picard/Q *g*

[tikiberry.livejournal.com]

Wow. You're a Fraser/Ray V person... I've heard there were people like you but I've never known them before... *g*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

:p

*g*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

Right!

I was sitting here thinking 'But neither Han nor Luke died...'

TPM. Gotcha.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Obviously the teenagers people coming up with this list have never seen UNCLE. ;)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Or The Professionals *g*

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Since I don't actual follow that set of comics, they actually made Bobby/Jean Paul canon? Not just we're dating but Marvel doesn't want you to know canon couple?

I read them in fanfic, which is why I ask.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Canon in the 'it's canon that JP is in love with Bobby' way.

The 'yes, we're a definite couple' one is in Ultimate X-Men, where JP just asked Colossus to the Prom and Piotr said yes *g*

[joymaro.livejournal.com]

I saw that article too!

And you're right. Though my fav slash pairing in X-men is Scott/Logan, I do believe it's just for movie!verse. I got into the comics after the movies, and only really The Ultimate X-Men... in which I don't see any C/W at all.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I like the way Ultimate are going with Logan/Ororo - which is actually a pairing I've shipped since first reading X-Men.

<-- loves me some Ororo ;)

[joymaro.livejournal.com]

Me too, but I'm thinking Ororo is using Logan. I don't think she's over Beast at all...

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

See, I never got the Hank/'Ro thing in Ultimate.

[zortified.livejournal.com]

I like how 'LoTR guys' is listed as a 'couple'. ;-)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I know! I giggled at that one, too. It's like 'Here are nine characters. Pair them up as you wish...'
