Learned about the existence of love calculators... or now that I think about it the whole things sounds really familiar. I'm sure I did something similar in school but I can't quite remember. Anyway there are online calculators so I decided to try a couple of my pairings. Used this Love Calculator.

Tsukino Usagi / Chiba Mamoru - 81.5%. (Serena / Darien - 85%)

Clark Kent / Lex Luthor - 92%

Meredith Grey / Cristina Yang - 83% [eta: 90% with names switched. That is so much more like it since clearly if anyone on this list should be 100% it's them.]

The Doctor & Rose Tyler - 82% [eta: 91% switched around](Doctor/River is 72%. Amusingly Rose/River is 91%.]

Hannibal Lector / Will Graham - 79%. [If you make it 'William' which is technically his first name even if no one uses it the percentage goes up to 91.5%!]

Derek Hale / Stiles Stilinski - 91%

Tony Stark / Pepper Potts - 75% [Using Anthony and Virginia - 76.5%. I'm kind of laughing at my reaction to this result which is a very firm 'NO'. They are way more compatible than that! For a second there I was kind of offended. LOL.]

Mika Coretti / Raizo - 87.5%

Spock / Nyota Uhura - 79%. [eta: Switched they actually go down to 72%.]

Jareth / Sarah Williams - 70%

Charles Xavier / Erik Lehnsherr - 71%. [They are the most 'perfect for each other'/'would never work' pairing ever. So even though my first reaction to this number was 'really?', fair enough.] (eta: Switching them around gives them 92%! Now that is more like it.)

Bulma Briefs / Vegeta - 77%

Derek Morgan / Emily Prentiss - 71% - If you change their names around they lose two percentage points! Now that makes me curious about my other pairings.

... Pepper on top gives me 76% (1 higher) and Virginia 88.5% (!!) a full twelve percent higher. Wow. Okay, this 'calculator' is seriously messed up if just switching the order of the names makes such a big difference. Apparently who tops really does matter, lol! And apparently Tony/Pepper works best with her topping him. Like we didn't already know this.

There's a post here by melannen detailing five alternate marriage/relationship systems found in Sci Fi that I found to be very interesting. I love threesomes; I have tons of OT3s; and I am increasingly finding myself of the ‘threesome!’ school of thought when dealing with triangles. But I rarely go beyond that with pairings. I have the occasional foursome/poly thoughts (most recently with the Elena/Stefan/Damon/Katherine situation) but it really hasn’t taken a hold and become just another pairing option to the extent that threesomes have. Her post really got me thinking about how I could fit my various fandoms/pairings into them and then I had to try it out (and it kind of ended up being like a meme).

( cut for length )

Unconventional/Unheard Of Femslash Pairings was the topic at Passion Perfect here which had me thinking about mine.

Rose/Toshiko (Doctor Who) – kind of random I realise as they never interacted but I love the idea of them. It’s my personal fanon that Tosh was part of Rose’s team in the other dimension and helped to create the dimensional canon (or created it). [Of course I also ship Rose/Anyone so...]

Sarah/Jesse (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) – I didn’t start really shipping them until after the show was finished. But after re-watching select season 2 episodes and thinking about where season three could have gone I got really attached to the idea of Sarah hooking up with Jesse post-season 2.

Pepper/Natasha (Iron Man) – I wouldn’t think this would be such a rare pairing but I’ve found almost nothing about them.

Bonnie/Lexie and Elena/Anna (The Vampire Diaries) – This fandom has so many different femslash pairings that I like but I think these two are the rarest. Bonnie/Lexie seems really random especially since they never interacted. But I’ve loved the idea of them since Lexie’s episode. I think they’d get along well but there would still be some delicious tension in their relationship. Lexie is mature but also fun and I think that’s something Bonnie needs in a relationship. While I liked Anna with Jeremy well enough I loved her so much more than him and felt like she needed a different love in interest. While thinking about possibilities I considered Elena and the idea stuck.

Haruka/Usagi (Sailor Moon) – Of all my Sailor Moon femslash pairings this is the one I find hardest to find fannish stuff for. Even though they kissed in the manga!

Others include: Buffy/Tara (BtVS), Lois/Lana (Smallville), Alexa/Ripley (Aliens verse), Angela/Cam (Bones).

As far as crossover pairings go:

Mika Coretti/Alexa Woods (Ninja Assassin/Aliens vs. Predators) - I love the idea of them. I even have a background for them where they were college roommates and best friends.

Lucy Diamond/Kelly Jones (D.E.B.S./St. Trinians) - Lucy was totally a St. Trinian's girl. She was probably Head Girl and Kelly's mentor/girlfriend.

Susan Pevensie/Alice Kingsleigh (Chronicles of Narnia/Alice in Wonderland)

Olivia Dunham/Dani Reese (Fringe/Life)

(Okay, not really a meme but it should be.)
