Two Ships That Have Piqued My Interest:
13. Rosa/Battler (Umineko)
14. Rena/Mion (Higurashi)

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
I blame my yaoi fangirl tendencies for shipping Kanon/Battler. I feel horrible for not shipping these two, since evidence points to it being canon. At least I can take some comfort in the fact that I'm not a rabid Jessica hater. Personally, I think Kanon's attraction may have stemmed from the fact that she was the first girl to call him human.

2. Who is someone you know that ships #13?
I don't exactly "know" them, but a Japanese website I've been to has a doujin that seems to ship it. That's gotten me kind of curious. It's also made me think "WTF, self, she's his aunt!"

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
They should spend some time on the bench they were at before Kanji was called to fight.

4. Which is your favorite episode for #1?
Well, they're not exactly canon, but probably episode 6 of Kai, where Keiichi gives the doll to Mion, and Rika begins to hope that she can break free.

5. How long have you been following couple #6?
Not sure exactly. I like the couple, but I don't exactly "follow" it.

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring?
At some point, I realized that Beatrice's sadism would make it difficult for Battler to like her, which is why I have doubts about them being canon.

7. Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4?
Well, Kyou/Tohru IS canon, while evidence points to Kanon/Battler being a product of my own wishful thinking. Plus, one's het and the other is slash, so I can't really compare them.

8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
I don't really want to make either one disappear. I have friends who ship 10 and I'm afraid that the fans of 12 would come after me. I guess 12, as long as no one knew it was me.

9. What interests you about #14?
I'm not sure. It all started when I was listening to "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray. I imagined Mion as Tracy and Shion as Penny. I didn't have Keiichi as Link because I wanted him to be Motormouth Maybelle (XD). Somehow, I ended up thinking that Rena would be good.

10. When did you stop liking #7?
Around the time Machi showed up.

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show?
Not at all. In fact, I wonder if I ever really shipped it at all. Plus, I have a really big crush on Keiichi.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
"Don't Speak" by No Doubt.

13. Which of these ships do you love the most?
I love all six that I listed.

14. Which do you dislike the most?
I don't exactly HATE RukiIchi, it's just that before I got into Bleach, I noticed a lot of hate directed at Orihime and it kinda turned me off to the pairing when I finally got into it.

15. If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be (even better if they're from different fandoms)?
Rika/Keiichi and RukiHime. Just to see what would happen.

16. Have #2 kissed yet?
In fanart, they have.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
Yep. =3

18. What would make you start shipping #14?
More fanart of them.

9. If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6?
How cruel. One would fulfill my fantasies and the other would put an end to the RukiIchi vs. HimeIchi debate once and for all. I won't choose.

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
They remain BFF forever and Satoko is the Best Man at Rika and Keiichi's wedding. Yes, Best Man. The Best Man is the Groom's best friend. C'mon, do you REALLY think the girls'll let Keiichi wear a suit?
