I'm generally pretty flexible about the pairing. I'll read one that I've
never thought about before, just to see if it works. I'll read cross show
pairings if I like both shows, and occasionally if I like one of the shows
and know the writer's work. I'll read most pairings if I like even one of
the characters in it, but there a few that I just can't get my head around.
Those I won't read. Also won't read them if I have no interest whatsoever
in either character.
