mash_slashI 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? ;)

Date: 2004-09-17 12:17 am (UTC)For reading, pretty much anything with Hawkeye/ in it and in believable character. Favorites are Trap, Beej, Frank (only if he freaks out at first). That one with Father Mulcahy/Hawk/ and later Trapper...wow. That paring squicked me before. I also am finding a strange taste for Chaxie (Charles/Klinger)
Refuse to read (for now):anyone/Radar, anyone/Potter, most stuff if Hawkeye isn't a part of the pairing with exception to Trap/Frank and c/k...
I'm babbling and I don't care...
Trapper vs. BJ..I agree that Trapper seems more willing to 'screw around' than Beej. But Beej fics seem to be more serious, from what I have read. And I love character angst.
Frank vs. anyone...I hate the fics where we find out that he has been secretly in love with a male character or fooling around with them. Too outta character. I love the ones that explore his character some as he slowly starts to fall for someone and freaks out. Personally, if I ever wrote anything with him, it would be non-con....actually, I have started something that goes along those lines...wonder what I did with it.
Too much analyzing/thinking, my brain is tired now lol.
