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!

no subject
I totally understand, and I must say that I feel identically about Jack/Will. It's well-written (when people bother with plot and characterization and don't skip straight to the madbunnysex). And I have gotten fonder of Will through writing it. But it's not my thing. =)
To sum, I totally sympathize and I'm not in the least offended. Extremely amused, actually, that people could take offense.
So, who's up for a good round of Pintel/Ragetti? +grin+
