Snagged from bzzinglikeneon.

1. Doctor/Romana
2. Doctor/Master
3. Ten/Martha
4. Ten/Donna
5. Martha/Master
6. Martha/Romana

- List 3 ships that you used to like, but not anymore. Number them from 7 to 9.
7. Martha/Jack
8. Gwen/Jack
9. Ten/Jack

- List 3 ships that you don't like. Number them from 10 to 12.
10. Ten/Rose
11. Rose/Master
12. Gwen/Owen

- List 2 ships that you're curious about, but don't quite ship. Number them from 13 to 14.
13. Tosh/Owen
14. Three/Jo (Actually, I think I'm really close to shipping that anyway.)

QUESTIONS:

1. Why don't you like 11?
It's not that I don't like it (I really struggled to think of ships that I don't like, btw), it's just that I don't get it. Now, I get Martha/Master because of That Year and angsty and fucked up is good in any ship. But Rose and the Master haven't even met (not that I have a problem with shipping those who haven't met in canon - see ship 6), so I really can't get my head round it.

2. Do you know anybody who ships 13?
I think there's quite a few on my flist, yes.

3. What would be your ideal circumstances for couple 3?
Aww. *pets them both* Erm, for Martha to continue to work for UNIT and for the Doctor, when he comes back to Earth, to visit and they can have the odd adventure together, and they can tease each other and have UST again, pls.

4. What's your favorite episode/scene of 1?
Oh, man. 'City of Death', obviously. But the beginning to 'Destiny of the Daleks' is also completely adorable.

5. Since when do you ship couple 6?
Probably since I read lizbee's fic, 'Streams'.

6. Why did you stop shipping couple 8?
To be honest, I only shipped them for, like, two weeks at the beginning of Series 1. I guess the real reason is 'cos I ship Gwen/Rhys more.

7. You have the power so that one couple doesn't exist. Pick either 10 or 12.
10. Definitely 10. Not because I hate it that much, but because think of all of the wank that wouldn't have happened if it didn't exist.

8. What do you prefer, 2 or 4?
Doctor/Master. Nuff said.

9. What interests you about 14?
THE LOOKS THAT THEY GIVE EACH OTHER, OMG. *flails* And, dudes, he is so devastated when she leaves.

10. When did you stop liking 7?
'Cos they were so buddy, buddy together on Torchwood; he was like her older brother, really. Besides, I ship this woman with so many people, I have to draw the line somewhere. :p

11. When you lost interest for 9, did you lose interest in the canon?
Well, I sort of pre-emptively shipped it, then when they were on screen together I was sort of 'meh' about it. So yeah.

12. What is a song that reminds you of 5?
Shadowplay by The Killers.

13. Which ship do you like the most?
Doctor/Master.

14. Which one do you like the least?
Ten/Rose.

15. If you could make two of these couples have a double date, which two would you choose?
Master/Martha and Ten/Donna FOAR GREAT LOLS. Actually, that would make terrific crack!fic...

16. Has the second couple kissed yet?
In my head, lots.

17. Did 4 have a happy ending? If the canon isn't over, do you think it will end well?
I'm terrified that it's going to end horribly. DONNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA.

18. What would make you start shipping 13?
Them both being not dead. Me to actually care about Tosh's character, probably. There just wasn't enough there for me to get attached, until she died that is.

19. If only one could happen, which one would you choose: 2 or 6?
TWO, TWO, TWO, TWO, TWO. DEFINITELY TWO. Maybe 3 as well.

20. You have the power to choose the fate of 10. What would happen to them?
They say goodbye. Properly. And that they're both happy.

Ooh ! I might do that - when I'm not writing fast fic, quickety-quick ! :D

[madelf.livejournal.com]

That's a neat meme. I want to try it myself.

Are there any Martha/Master fics? That is a pairing that sounds awesome and messed up, so please tell me there is fic.

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

zauberer_sirin has a list which includes his/her fic Now We Have a Map of the Stars, which is excellent. calapine's Persephone is awesome too; it's gen, but subtext (intended or otherwise) >>> text, as we all know. I considered Angle to be Master/Martha, but most people didn't, which either pokes a hole in my subtext >>> text theory or, more likely, indicates I haven't got my subtext calibrated quite properly yet. :D

(Fixated on eroticising antagonistic relationships? Me?)

[madelf.livejournal.com]

You are brilliant. Thanks for the links. I'm a sucker for any ship that the writer has to work for.

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

I know. Otherwise, well, what's the point? *ships Four/Borusa because she can*

[magicallaw.livejournal.com]

This one by synecdoche is bloody good as well.

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

Master/Martha and Ten/Donna FOAR GREAT LOLS. Actually, that would make terrific crack!fic...

Please, please, oh, please?

[magicallaw.livejournal.com]

Someone less fail than me should write it.

Dude, this meme very conveniently asked you the perfect questions about the perfect ship in some of these cases.

Notes: Ten/Martha teasing is love. XD
*FLAILS INSANELY WITH YOU FOR THREE/JO*
Master/Martha//Ten/Donna would be funny without even trying. OMFG.
*wibbles about Donna* But see, even if it ends horribly, he will have the lovely angst, which will hopefully be actually well done this time. At least this time if he acts like he's mourning the dead it won't be a grating exaggeration.

I'm not hopeful of much Donna!Angst because they'll be no series following, and will they want to fill the specials with it, apart from a few mentions in the Xmas special, that is.

*weeps for Donna*
