28. I think Gundam Wing is part of the older kind of fandom; the one where everyone had the same OTPs and almost no one ever ventured outside of them. Slam Dunk is another good example of this, I think. Series nowadays has the majority of the fans shipping everyone with everyone -- whether it's total crack pairings (such as characters from different fandoms that had a pairing originate in some RP game) or just something done purely for the lulz. There are exceptions of course *cough*Kyo Kara Maoh*cough*, but as a general rule I think it applies fairly well. I hope that made sense... orz

That said, I don't think you can really compare 1X2 to those other pairings you listed. Those are well-known rival pairs, and Heero and Duo weren't anything like that (IMHO at least).

Agreeing with you all the way! Although with SD, I can't help but wonder if people stick with the same standardized couples because Inoue-sensei's characterizations make it difficult to imagine crack pairings...how could authors realistically justify Hikoichi/Kiyota or Haruka/Miyagi?

I read tons of GW fanfics back in the day and remember being avalanched by the sheer amount of 1x2 and 3x4, but any big fandom's going to have those drawbacks...I'm sure HP suffers from the same woes.

Glad to hear that! :D

*nods* You're right, he definately did more or less set certain pairings in stone. To tell the truth, the main reason I used SD as an example was because I utterly loved the idea of Tetsuo/Mitsui -- but the entire fandom seemed to be too busy shipping MitKo to see it (not that I don't like that pairing too, don't get me wrong!). And let's not even get started on how badly I want to see some Aota/Akagi ^_^;
