This one looked too fun not to try...
Pick up to 10 ships.
Describe them in less than 16 words.
Have your flist guess the ship.
Yes, my most obvious ship is included. No, the one in the icon isn't. I tried to not go for the more obscure, though I did go way back with some. You can probably guess most of them by looking at my icons. Keeping it to 16 words was surprisingly difficult.
1) He’s her rock, the one person she can depend on. She brings warmth into his life.

caitrin got it. It's Luke/Lorelai. "I just want you to know. I'm all in."
2) Complete opposites on the surface, completely alike deep down.
My girl seri_scribble got it! It's Katara/Zuko. "Well that's something we have in common."
3) She keeps him grounded. He helped her reach the stars.
seri_scribble got it! THAT'S Josh/Donna from West Wing. (I had to make it a LITTLE hard.) "So you've got health and strength..." "And we'll steal the rest?" "Bet your ass."
4) How many relationships go from dark, deadly and twisted to sweet, nurturing and steadfast?
5) Despite their history, they were always the happiest when they were together.
6) Powerful people act like school kids when they fall in love too.
caitrin got it right again. It's Leo/Jordan "You're like a fifties screwball comedy..."
7) Despite his flaws, he looks after her. Despite her youth, she protects him.
seri_scribble once again proves that she is awesome by getting this one. It's George/Mason. "You get close, Georgie. You get close to everybody that ever meant anything to you."
8) Her grudge lasted far longer than it should’ve, probably because he made her feel too much.
caitrin got it. It's Anne/Gilbert. My ship before I knew what shipping meant! "Aren't you afraid I'll break another slate over your head?" "I'm afraid I might break one over yours. Carrots."
9) Best friends who know each other inside and out. The sexual chemistry is just a bonus.
caitrin got it right. It's PG/Brandon!! "Skiing? Really? Seriously?" "Apparently." "Totally?" "Absolutely."
10) Until they’re grown-up enough to be more, they’re each other’s closest & most trusted best friend.
ETA: Only three left!!! For those of you still playing, I'll give a few more couple more clues. One of the pairings appeared on a show that will be ending soon, even though both characters had long since left the building. The other pairing appeared on a network that doesn't exisit anymore. Two, actually! The last one is on a show that is still going strong and, even though I've fallen behind, there are still quotes from that show on my sidebar.

Date: 2009-01-15 03:07 am (UTC)10. PJ & Brando
These are too hard.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 03:44 am (UTC)And you're right about PJ and Brandon being one of the pairs. I was afraid that #10 was going to trip you up!
These are too hard.
The problem is I tend to like the same qualities in my ships and I couldn't get into too many details with only 16 words. The only one I was being deliberately vague with was Josh and Donna, since everyone knew I was going to include them.
I think it might be easier to match my favorite pairs to the sentences than the other way around.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 04:25 am (UTC)2) Lizzie and Darcy
5) Lorelai and Luke?
7) Josh and Donna
9) PJ and Brandon
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 04:42 am (UTC)There's a reason for that! :-D Because that one was so obvious, I went with that
2) Lizzie and Darcy
No. Even though I love Pride & Prejudice, I didn't use them as a couple. #2 is very obvious, but only if you watched the show, which not a lot of people on my flist did.
5) Lorelai and Luke?
No. They are a pairing on the list, but not that one. (Though that sentence is true for them too... especially in the latter seasons.) I stopped watch shortly after they first started dating. Think what they meant to each other in the early days.
9) PJ and Brandon
YES!!! :-D
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 04:47 am (UTC)I want to say that #3 is Adama and Roslin, because it would be a clever pun, but I don't know if you watch BSG...
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 04:57 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 05:07 am (UTC)It could be anyone on the West Wing, really. :-) But Josh and Donna was a closer guess. If it helps, she was only on for a season. And I don't have an icon of this pair.
(Actually, I like CJ/Danny well enough, but I was more for CJ/Simon or even CJ/Toby.)
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 05:08 am (UTC)Is #3 Doctor Who related?
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 05:13 am (UTC)Right again! You're mopping them up! :-D
Is #3 Doctor Who related?
Nope. I only ship Pete & Jackie on that show and they didn't make the cut, cute as they are. :-)
Don't take #3 so literally. It's very big picture.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 12:21 pm (UTC)Yeah, I figured. I just thought it would be cute if it were a pun. Is that one Josh and Donna, then? They have to be there somewhere!
#8 makes me think of Anne and Gilbert, but I don't know if that even counts as a ship.
I like this game, can you tell? :)
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 01:50 pm (UTC)Yup, Seri got it. (Well, you can't win them all!!)
#8 makes me think of Anne and Gilbert, but I don't know if that even counts as a ship.
Yup! That was my first ship! Well, if I had been introduced to the word "ship" back then. :-)
I like this game, can you tell? :)
You're very good at it! :-D
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 05:03 am (UTC)Yup! You got it!
And you didn't say whether I was right about #7 being Josh and Donna, but I'm assuming not.
No, it's not, but I forgot to give a clue. #7 was/is/will be a show on Showtime.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 04:51 am (UTC)I'd say that #10 is Katara/Aang, except I know how you feel about that one.
I'm thinking #7 might be Josh/Donna, and that means #6 must be
CJ/Danny? Duh! Sam/Mallory.Gasp! Is #3 Sokka/....what's her name that became the moon?
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 05:19 am (UTC)No, but good guess. Katara/Zuko are somewhere else on the list. ;-) #8 is one of my oldest ships. So old, it's strange even classifying it as a ship.
I'd say that #10 is Katara/Aang, except I know how you feel about that one.
Thank you for not saying it just to watch me freak out!!! :-P
I'm thinking #7 might be Josh/Donna, and that means #6 must be CJ/Danny? Duh! Sam/Mallory.
Nope, I don't really ship either couple. Right now, the clue is that the show is or was on Showtime. If you can guess, the show the pairing shouldn't be that hard to figure out, knowing me.
Gasp! Is #3 Sokka/....what's her name that became the moon?
Yue? No, but good guess! Don't take #3 so literally. It's a very general way to look at their relationship.

Date: 2009-01-15 06:18 am (UTC)#7 Is Dexter/Rita?
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 01:40 pm (UTC)YES!!!!
#7 Is Dexter/Rita?
Heh. No. I ship Dexter in a "Oh god, ANYONE but Lila way". That show will always be the (only) show that I fly shipless. If you've never seen #7, we can watch it when you get here.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 06:51 pm (UTC)That's how EVERYONE ships Dexter! Oh Lila, I miss your crazy naked ways. :-P
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 07:27 am (UTC)Katara/Zuko?
and is 10 Harry/ Hermione?
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 01:43 pm (UTC)Yup! Leave it to you to get my two biggest ships!!
and is 10 Harry/ Hermione?
Actually, I didn't even include Harry/Hermione!! I went with shows that I like more than the movies. I don't really watch #10 that much anymore, but I was really into it first season, but I still have icons for the show and there are quotes from it in my sidebar. I'll probably catch up at some point.

Date: 2009-01-15 06:53 pm (UTC)Go meeee! See? I do pay attention. :)
no subject
Date: 2009-01-15 07:02 pm (UTC)Stabbing the dark with Dead like Me and Mason/ omg what's her name? I love that show but I'm blanking on her name omg this is driving me nuts. What the hell. OMG this is insane. I know this. George? GEORGE! Mason/George.
Man, Mason rules.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 04:16 am (UTC)And you are right, Mason DOES rule! :-D
