Day 4: Your favorite and least favorite pairings and why. This does not have to be limited to slash!
Favorites: Ohmiya and Matsuba.
I think Ohmiya is pretty obvious. xD They provide endless fodder and they're just so cute. I have a weakness for cute. I also like their general dynamic, the balance in their personalities.
Matsuba is a pairing that snuck up on me because of an RP. A friend and I had a situation set up where Sakuraba were supposed to get together in the end after a brief Matsuba affair. And then we liked Matsuba so much we messed up Sakuraba instead. I started paying a lot more attention to the pairing and now I enjoy reading Matsuba fanfiction a lot more than Sakuraba xD It's a much more subtle pairing than Ohmiya, but there's something about these two that I think is endearing and again, they have good balance.
Least Favorites: Ohba, Sakumoto and Sakumiya
Ohba & Sakumoto - I don't get these two at all. @_@
Sakumiya - I can understand why this is a popular pairing, but for me personally I just don't feel it. I think the friendship dynamic between these two is very interesting and I love seeing it explored, but as a romantic pairing it falls flat for me.
There are lots more that I like and dislike (mary sues, anyone?) but those are the ones that I gravitate most to and the ones I run from xD
