Day 21 - Favorite ship

The Golden Hind?

Look, if I want a couple to get together on a show, I write the fanfiction.

CLex. That one really should have happened onscreen.

I liked Marco/Diana. I think Vincent/Catherine could have shown more than CBS allowed, but relationships that are canon are great and relationships that aren't can still sail in transformative works.

edited to add: Based on riverfox's answer to this, there seems to be an implication that not all relationships are considered equal for this question. Most of my slash relationships (Jack/Daniel or the Petrellis) are such that I would have been appalled if they became canon -- working together in a military setting for Jack/Daniel and they're brothers, for heaven's sake, for the Petrellis. This doesn't mean that I think the term 'ship is exclusively held by hetero couples. And for the record, I was equally appalled when it was implied that Jack/Samantha was canon. It's wrong for exactly the same reasons as Jack/Daniel with an extra fillip of superior and subordinate for that extra ickiness.

There was a show? I was being facetious. *LOL*

Still...

My age is showing! And thank goodness for Wikipedia..the show is so old that IMDB doesn't recognize it. It was "The Adventures of Sir Francis Drake" and originally appeared on British TV (ATV) and then on NBC from June to September in 1962. I remember being fascinated by the costumes and the battles.

Just goes to show you never know what will turn out to be your 'madeleine'!

A little before my time. We didn't move to Britain until 1967. Two is my Doctor. *G*

I would have enjoyed something like that.
