Gacked from zillahseye:
Pick a fandom, any fandom I have EVER BEEN IN (or even a fandom I haven't been in - chances are I know something about it by way of fannish osmosis and the less I actually know, the more definite my opinions are likely to be!). I will tell you:
1. My One True Pairing-Whatever Ship:
2. Canon Ship:
3. "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
4. "You are one sick puppy" Ship:
5. "I dabble a little" Ship:
6. "It's like a car crash" Ship:
7. "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
8. "Makes no canon sense but why the heck not" Ship:
9. "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
10. One piece of canon I would change:
11. A "missing scene" I'd love to see:
12. I had no proof, but I always believed that...:
13. Measured most likely, by my superscientific gaydar gun, to be queer:
14. The character who's most like me:
15. The character I think I'd be happiest dating:
16. The character I hate for No Good Reason:
17. The most intensely fannish thing I did while I was into it:
18. A song I associate with that fandom:
19. Character most likely to have a sekrit fandom identity themselves:
20. The perfect ending to the story, whether or not it matches what happened.

2. Canon Ship: James/Lily. IDK, she made him a better man!
3. "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: Harry/Ginny - suck to be me! I just can't help seeing it as "fangirl/object of her obsession" and that is creepy and unhealthy.
4. "You are one sick puppy" Ship: Harry/Lucius. Crossgen! With a married bigot who kills/tortures people! But the fanfic brainwashed me. (Other sick puppy ships: Harry/Tom, Ginny/Tom, Ginny/Bellatrix, Harry/Rita Skeeter (she takes filthy advantage of him, and then rubs it in Hermione's face! - I would read the shit out of it, no joke).
5. "I dabble a little" Ship: Ginny/Luna. Once you get her away from Harry, Ginny becomes approx. 80 times more awesome, and I just straight-up love Luna. Plus, femslash = A++.
6. "It's like a car crash" Ship: Remus/Sirius. They never get a happy ending! Marauder-era, you know there's just betrayal and exile and prison waiting, and post-Azkaban, it's all PTSD and a countdown to the worst/most ridiculous death ever.
7. "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Harry/Tonks.
8. "Makes no canon sense but why the heck not" Ship: Harry/Bill.
9. "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Harry/Snape. I've tried! And there are some awesome authors, who sometimes sell me on it for the length of a story, but really? I just find it uncomfortable.
10. One piece of canon I would change: Ahaha, there are like a million, but the biggest is Sirius's storyline. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Dumbledore thought Sirius betrayed the Potters, but DUMBLEDORE CAN READ MINDS. And is also head of the Wizengamot, so it's not like he couldn't have done something!
11. A "missing scene" I'd love to see: People doing horrible things to the Dursleys.
12. I had no proof, but I always believed that...: People totally knew about Harry's history of abuse/neglect. They had to have! It wasn't even subtle abuse/neglect!
13. Measured most likely, by my superscientific gaydar gun, to be queer: Albus! But followed by Remus.
14. The character who's most like me: Hermione.
15. The character I think I'd be happiest dating: Luna.
16. The character I hate for No Good Reason: Ginny? But I only hate her in canon?
17. The most intensely fannish thing I did while I was into it: Hmmm. Midnight release party, but that's not that unusual. Oh! Sat at the computer for 27 hours straight reading the Sacrifices Arc for the first time.
18. A song I associate with that fandom: Cake's Building a Religion totally makes me think of the Death Eaters for some reason.
19. Character most likely to have a sekrit fandom identity themselves: Romilda Vane.
20. The perfect ending to the story, whether or not it matches what happened. Okay...Dumbledore was a LOT more proactive in getting the horcruxes, and he enlisted a lot more help (with appropriate nondisclosure Unbreakable Vows). So no horcrux hunt, no year-long reign of terror at Hogwarts, a much quicker resolution with a lot fewer deaths, and also? No fucking epilogue.

What was the Sacrifices arc again? was that the one with Harry having cancer?
HP fandom has produced so many epics. I've spent many days/nights blazing through fanfic.
I feel you on Snape/Harry. I've read it a few times, but I just can't get into it.

No, it's this massive, longer-than-the-actual-books AU the author started to prove that certain cliches could be written well. It is basically my perfect piece of fiction.
Death Eater Takes a Holiday is good! And then, well. Um. It's readable, sometimes? I much prefer Severitus to Snarry.
