OTP poll

[xparrot]

I've seen OTP ("One True Pairing") used a bunch of different ways around fandom, sometimes leading to confusion and misinterpretation. I'm curious what the general trends for its use are.

(For this poll, please answer the way you personally use OTP, not the way(s) you may have seen it used by other fans.)

[Poll #1356482]
Thank you for feeding my statistics lust - and of course, please comment if you've got anything interesting (or, heck, boring XP) to add. Y'all know how much I love the talky-talky!

I apply OTP retroactively, but that's because the first time I heard the term, I went, "So THAT'S what it's called!" I'd always bonded to particular relationships; even though I didn't have the fannish lexicon, the concept was always part of how I fan.
