Shipping Manifest

Gakked from redeem147 and several others:

I apparently have a hard time understanding the concept of "one" since I wound up going over on most of these.

++ What is your One True Pairing?
Assuming this means BtVS/AtS fandom: Spike/Anyone who doesn't beat him up and/or treat him like crap. In fanfic, that's usually Spike/Buffy.

++ What is your "guilty pleasure" pairing?
Spike/Tara, because I know it's highly improbable, but I love seeing them together anyway.
Spike/Dru, if it's done well.

++ What is one pairing you absolutely refuse to ship?
Wes/Fred.
Okay, gotta also add Buffy/Angel. Though I think it'd be hysterically funny to see them attempt a relationship at this point in their lives... wondering who would try to kill the other first.

++ What is one pairing you're interested in, but don't ship?
Spike/Illyria... we just don't know enough about her character. The Spike/Illyria fic I've read has been good as far as it goes, but doesn't seem to hold up well if the story goes on too long.

++ What is one pairing you used to ship, but don't any more?
Angel/Cordelia -- I liked the potential of it, but it really fell flat on the show. I do still kinda like it in fanfic, when it's written well.
I'm not too keen on the idea of Spike/Buffy anymore except in fanfic, too (IOW, if by some miracle we got a mini-series or made-for-tv movies or something with the characters, it's not a ship I'd want to see on-screen... TV!Buffy doesn't deserve him).

++ What is one pairing you could be convinced to ship if it was done properly?
Spike/Angel. Okay, and Spike/Willow.
