1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given after if asked in the comments.
Umm, I guess the one that guesses the most correctly will get a fic snippet from a fandom and preferred pairing of their choice. (I really REALLY hope you pick a fandom I know)

Date: 2011-11-25 03:28 am (UTC)I am disappointed, because this is ridiculously fun, both creating the puzzles and solving other people's. I got the meme from someone else I am distantly friends with, and her puzzle is now solved.
