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'm the newbie that lydia_petze referred to earlier (the one with the thing about Henry/Radar - and incidentally, I have a priest thing too...) I haven't seen enough episodes yet to have a single favourite pairing, being currently halfway through season 3, but already I'm sold on Hawkeye/Trapper, Henry/Radar, Hawkeye/Radar, and there are hints of Hawkeye/Frank all over the place. Am looking forward to meeting BJ though, which will probably happen tonight. Season 4 is sitting on my bookshelf patiently waiting for me to get to it. :)

Oooh! I'm beginning to get into Henry/Radar-mostly post-Absynnia, 'cause I'm strange like that.

Ooh, season four is good. Though, at the moment, I'm partial to season 3 and 11.

Oh, I like that scenario too. Death stories have a way of getting me where I love ;-) I read "Homecoming" by Autumnalis last night and wibbled all over the place!

I don't think I've read that (strange, could have sworn I'd read all her stuff. Hm) But yes. Death stories. *sighs*

Henry/Radar suits me *anytime*. Most especially during "Crisis". ;)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Haven't actually *seen* Crisis yet, but they're also kinda cute during Ceasefire.

Mm, yes. I love all that cuteness. But Abyssinia, Henry definitely takes the cake.
