...

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!

Welcome to the club. I guess that I can see the way Jack and Norrington would interact that would present the possibility of the pairing, but it leaves me totally cold - I can read it in fics by the best writers, but my brain just says "what-ever, moving along". Consequently, I'm afraid I just don't read those fics at all now *sighs* While Jack/Will... let's just say I like the combination of "world and slightly evil" with "spluttering innocent" ^___^

And for the record, I'm perfectly happy with my Sirius and Remus as friends, though won't say no to a torrid love affair :P
