I searched a way back, but didn't find a post like this, so I guess I'll post and hope I don't incur the wrath of the moderator.

I was watching Love Story a couple of days ago, and comtemplating writing a huge post on Trapper/Hawkeye vs. Hawkeye/BJ (dynamics and pairings). I never got around to it, but it made me think:

What is it that attracts us to different pairings? I'm largely a BJ girl, but the chemistry between Trapper and Hawkeye is palable, fun to play with. BJ/Hawkeye, on the other hand, has huge angst potential.

But what makes you love that one pairing more than any other? Why does Klinger/Winchester inspire you more than Klinger/Radar for example? Why do you love Frank slash pairings?

Curiously a-waiting your replies.

Note: I am not trying to start a shipper war. So far, what I've seen of the M*A*S*H fandom has been calm, civilized and mature, but who knows? ;)

I write Frank/Trapper. I have no idea why. I guess, I find them both just so damn attractive that I must put them together. I want Frank with someone becuase he has the most flaws I can explore. Trapper is a man-whore with little to no respect for his partners, but is very welcome to any suggestions. I like how Frank is so needy that he'd take Trapper, but end up being so fed up he'd take on Trapper.

That, and they're both really hot.
