huh.
okay.
need to come clean now methinks because this is gonna make my brain explode if I don't sort this out for myself
namely, that: I'm still a fan of Jack/Will.
there, I said it. And it's not that I don't see what's to be seen in Jack/Norrington, but. yeah. Browsed and picked at some marvelous fic here and there and still. dunno.
It's not like I don't see the possibilities. But. It just doesn't *ping* in my head. Like, I see the Jack/Elizabeth and Jack/Anamaria. But that's not going to make me hunt down fic.
and I don't quite understand it. Because I *get* it, I can see it too. I just don't *feel* it for some reason. It's like this weird hole where you kinda sense that there *should* be some emotion but there *isn't*.
It's a very freaking odd feeling. And I don't get why I'm feeling this way.
It's not like I don't like adversaries or opposites or equals, I do. ::points at pairingslist:: It's not like I don't find Norrington adorable, and even if he doesn't exactly mush my 'hotness' buttons, neither does Bobby (I-Man) or Legolas or Q or Agent Smith or Xander.
So. I'm not getting this. Just to let you know. Even despite reading the reasonings on everyone's journals.
and let's put myself even more on the weenie roast:
I'm not a fan of Sirius/Remus either.
sorry.
[edit] ::headdesk:: ok. I have gone back and bolded the pertinent parts of this post that are apparently being skipped over.
::facepalm:: people. I *GET* Jack/Norrington. You are singing to the choir here. Also, I *LIKE* adversarial relationships and relationships of equals and opposites. Also, personal asethetics has NOTHING to do with my pairing preferences either way ::points at character list in post:: I LIKE some pairings were I feel no lust at all for one character or another.
Though. ok. I realize that this post may have put the Sparrington people on the defensive. I'll give you that. but, dude. Singing to the choir here. I get it. I just don't understand why it's not *pinging* for me on an emotional level based on my previous pairing inclinations...
[edit2] also: to clarify, I'm *not* objecting to the fact that there's J/N discussion. but. perhaps, not too much to ask that the J/N rhetoric cover more ground than what I'd already covered in the post itself?
[edit3] Figured it out! YAY!

But it's sort of how I feel about Jack/Will -- I would never object to it because it's so there already. I am a SLATHERING Jack/Will fan! The first potc fic I ever read was an J/W/E OT3 ficlet. I think because the first proper long fic I properly read was a Jack/Norrington it forced my eyes open to the posssibility of that pairing I hadn't really considered before and I fell for that, (plus, I cannot resist the Commodore!) but straight after I dived into the fandom I was onto Jack/Will too. I'm always reading that on the side. Basically, if it's got Jack in it, I'll read it. *is fangirl* lalala.
But, is it you I said to about Jack/Will being my 'Jack takes a cabin boy' thing? There's something about the ages and the pretty and the way they come together at the end of the film and that look Jack gives Will when he doesn't know quite what to say at the end and...yeah. :D
J/N is more for opposites and posibility and fitting together and clashing and sharing and...yes, things I don't need to get into because you know; Jack/Will is fun and has the chance for something very fierce and makes my tummy squee; and Jack/Elizabeth is delicious and sparky and, since she is the character I could most identify with, a lovely little Mary Sue kind of imaginary thing.
...Okay, now I look weird. *bites lip*
Do you get what I mean? I lovelove her character anyway, because she is GRATE, but there is also this lovely little element with her being the most like me out of the cast. It's a idealistic sort of thing. Though it's not like the chemistry they had is off putting. They were always my Het OTP.
Yes, I do always end up having about three OTPS per fandom. Shut up. *grin*
You know, I just want Jack, I think. *laughs* It's sort of similar with Remus; I've read every pairing under the sun for him. (omg Draco/Remus. Really. *nods)
And I've blathered.
