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!

Oh, I admit I didn't see that mixed in with the list of "my favorite"s.

Yeah, it's ultimately all about the inspiration, I think. Like being in love with them being in love is what drives me as a writer.

But sometimes it's also about exploring how a different pairing changes who the characters are in the context of a romantic story. I.e., writing Ronon and John together really, really changed my John.

Yeah, different pairings can give you a different perspective on a char, and sometimes on a pairing...
