I've been reading a variety of fan-fictions on FF.net and that got me thinking.
Why do people like pairings?
So, to see what people think, I've created this topic.
What do you think about character pairings? Do you like them or not? Why?
If you do like pairings, what pairings do you like? By the way, this is NOT restricted to Land Before Time. Any character pairings in general, be they from LBT, Harry Potter, or some other media that you like.
Me personally, I think that pairings, when implemented correctly, can make a great fan-fiction. If you know how to make relationships, and you can write pretty well, then pairings in your fan-fictions probably will turn out just fine. It is slash that gets on my nerves.
As for pairings, I will admit, I am a fan of Eragon/Saphira pairings. Sounds weird, but when done correctly, it turns out to be an excellent read. In fact, there is this one fan-fiction called The Future Begins on FF.net that is, in my opinion, the best Eragon/Saphira fan-fiction on FF.net.
