I don't mind pairings, and I'm not against romance. This secret came about because I said I liked a certain show, and the first question I got asked was essentially 'OMG WHATZ UR FAVRIT PAIRING!!q11q11ooneeeee!!' I don't watch the show because I want to ship people... I watch it because it's got a good story. o.O

I mean, let's say we're talking about Heroes here. There's some innuendo, but if you say to me 'WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PAIRING!? I SHIP MOHINDER/SYLAR!' I automatically lose all respect for you, unless you tell me that you actually watch it for the story and not the non-existant ass-sex.
