2 - A pairing or fandom you initially didn't consider but someone changed your mind.
3 - A pairing or character you have never liked and probably never will.
4 - A pairing or character you wish you liked but just can't.
5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

7 - Do you remember your first OTP? If so, who was in it?
8 - Do you prefer characters/pairings from live-action series or anime series?
9 - Has the Internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms? If so, which one(s) and why?
10 - Name a fandom you didn't care/think about until you saw it all over your social network sites.
11 - Do you get involved with fans and fandom? Or do you just focus on the works that you like?
12 - Your favorite fan artist/author allows you to request one work from him/her. What do you ask for?

18 - A pairing you ship that you don't think anyone else ships. (If you don't ship much, then pick a fandom that you love but that you don't think anyone else is aware of. Small fandoms always need more love.)

I tend to be fond of fluffy or snarky OTPs, if it's not obvious. XD
"17 - A ship or fandom that you've abandoned, and why."
I'd say Rose/Doctor, from Doctor Who. I was fine with it when it was a cross between ship tease and a close friendship, but then it started to become a bit too much of the focus of the series. I also liked Rose plenty, but I couldn't stop thinking "All of the people the Doctor has met in time and space, and this random girl from Earth is the one that he can't get over?" Not to mention that Rose started to get rather bitchy/possessive (at least in my opinion ^^; ) and the whole ship just wasn't much fun. ^^;
"18 - A pairing you ship that you don't think anyone else ships. (If you don't ship much, then pick a fandom that you love but that you don't think anyone else is aware of. Small fandoms always need more love.)"
Well, I think everyone ships everything, given the state of ff.net. To go for a smaller fandom I love, I'll go with A Knight's Tale. I know it's got a small pool of fans, but it's all silly good fun and deserves more love. Plus, it's got Canterbury Tales references, which makes me go all squee! XD
On the Literature end, I'll pull up The Night Circus, by Erin Morganstern, and Across the Universe by Beth Revis. Both are fantastic in their own way. The first book in particular left me on this buzz, like I was involved in something really mystical and magical. It was amazing.
For anime, I'd go with Project ARMS. It's a great sci-fi manga with all sorts of philosophical themes and the ultimate triumph of humanity over artificial life, and it needs more love! ^_^

As for the Rose/Doctor. I am still shipping that but it's more of a Rose/Nine ship than anything. I did enjoy it as like a deep friendship with romantic undertones. As for why she was special though, I always figured it's because she brought him back from the brink. Like Nine was so tortured and cold but Rose helped him rediscovery his "humanity", for lack of better word. Still, like I said, I've only seen a handful of Ten episodes and haven't seen her leave yet so...yeah. I know that his obsessing over her after she left did ruin her in a lot of fans eyes.
Those sound interesting, especially the sci-fi manga, I might check it out.
