It could be called fangirl_dice!

[sincere]

Between phinnia and ship_manifesto, my roommates and I had the following train of thought--

Given: Some of the essays on ship_manifesto are for pairings that not only make no sense, but cannot physically exist -- such as crossover pairing manifestos.
Premise: How do people not only come to 'ship such absurd pairings, but to write essays explaining them?
Conclusion: They must roll the Fangirl Dice, as previously conceived by phinnia and I. (*rollroll... Harry Potter / Orlando Bloom OTP~!*)

Now I want to start a community where we do exactly that. We say, "This week is Getbackers week! Who wants to volunteer?" and then members volunteer to write 'ship essays. Then we roll the dice and assign the dice-decided pairings to random community members. "Volunteer #1 gets Pairing #1, which is Shido/Akabane. GO!" Then Volunteer #1 has to write a manifesto about why Shido/Akabane could be a legitimate 'ship.

Then, of course, I shoot myself in the head. I'm sure my first pairing would be something like Hiead/Zero. But it would be interesting. Opinions, thoughts?

Wow. I'd love to see it - I don't write fanfic or read enough to actually contribute intelligently, but I think it would be a /really/ great idea if you could cut out all the screaming fangirboys whose reasons would amount to BECAUSE THEY ARE TEH SEX OMGWTFONE!!111
Related: I think my brain just exploded.
To be fair, it was tallin's fault: when I mentioned this to him just now (along with the preposterous-seeming pairing of Harry/Treebeard as an example) he started manufacturing pickup lines (complete with voices.) "Would you like to climb me, Harry?"
Of course this is the same person who came up with Grover/Elmo slash (and does the voices for that, too). Does this count as abuse? :-D
