Okay, silly question: can someone explain what "OTP" stands for? I am lacking a clue .

Also, Milka chocolate (from Austria I think) makes the day happy. Whee!

I would add that OTP is often used facetiously, either eyerolling at other fans who only like fic centered on one pairing (see: the Kerry/Kim clones on Whatever Weaver Wants; the Spuffy obsessives), or making fun of one's own illogical fannish proclivities. Like, Carrie/Big would be dramatically awful if it happened on the show, but in my heart, they're meant to be.

Thanks for the info. I racked my little brain trying to figure out what it might stand for; didn't come close.

Distraction, I'm with you on the X/G OTP. I think my other big one is Buffy/Angel, not that I ever got all fangirly over them. It wasn't 'til Angel briefly showed up in S7 that I realized how much I secretly ship for them. I'm not proud.
