Because I am a sheep.
Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.
Buffy/Spike
Spike/Angel
Buffy/Immortal!Jack
Doctor/Master (best enemies)
Doctor/Donna (best friends)
Jack/Ianto
Harriet/Peter (the Peter Wimsey novels)
Cutter/Leetah (Elfquest)
George/Annie/Mitchell (best friends OT3, Being Human)
Vince/Howard (The Mighty Boosh) or Bernard/Manny (Black Books) (both of these couples kinda defy description)

There is - not surprisingly - a lot of talk about Prop 8 going on today. All I'll say is that clearly Californians should sit back and wait for the eighteen thousand gay marriages that are still valid to DESTROY SOCIETY. Because that's what they do, right? (This is still my favourite Prop 8 story bar none, and shows better than anything else that sooner or later justice & common sense will prevail.)
ETA: And what do you know? Ted Olson goes to court on behalf of gay marriage.

Really? How odd. I sort of put that because I don't ship Doctor/Master in a sexual way AT ALL (despite all the delicious subtext), and - although they were friends once - calling them 'friends' just seems wrong.

Yep, mostly friendships (even Spike/Angel could fall under that category). OTOH most of the rest are BIG, COMPLICATED romances.

And now I have to see if I can name ten couples. *scampers off like a good lemming*

Well clearly you are very perceptive, since those *are* my trends! :)
