Soooorry *hangs head in shame* But Naruto owns my soul right now...
Ummm on topicness... I recently came up with an ideo for a Reno/Tifa, it's a pretty popular pairing, but also faairly crack I guess... But it could kinda work in the time she was at the bar before Cloud shows up just before the begining of the game...

Sorry *hangs head in shame too* Naruto owns my soul too right now.
By the way, I wonder how hard they would kill us if they ever read what was written about them and who they were paired with... and that goes for everyone in FF.

*Hangs head in shame* Right here.... (Oh and I know Sakon+Ukon now, but that flute girl is the best ) But yeah, Square and co. would probably freak out at the things they've spawned. I've written a Reno/Yuffie before, mainly inspired by Leaf's idea's of the pairing in her first fic, but I don't really support the pairing all that much.

(She isn't, Sakon and Ukon pwn everyone)
True, but I meant what the actual characters would do.

When it comes to pairings, I'm pretty flexible as long as it isn't yaoi or yuri. Since I mostly just read Vincent fanfics, I haven't had much experience with writing/reading crack fanfics. I like some pairings like VincentxTifa (a fanfic got me liking this pairing, but it got deleted), CloudxYuffie, SephirothxAeris (they would probably be a cute couple if Sephy didn't turn insane), AuronxRikku (it took me a little while to start liking this pairing) and some more.
I do draw the line to certain pairings. I don't have a particular guiltiest ship mostly because I've only been apart of the FF fandom for a short time compared to everyone else, I like many crack pairings the same, and I often avoid fanfics mostly focusing on pairings.
I'm kind of a weird fan. I often avoid some canon pairing fanfics because they are often boring for me or things in the fanfics are often overused. No offense for Clofa and Cloris fans, but I have to say CloudxAeris and CloudxTifa bore me the most because they often either lack originality or they have some other boring things in it, in my opinion. I don't know why I get bored with CloudxAeris for sure (maybe it's because of the popular revive fanfics?), but I think I get bored with CloudxTifa mostly because the whole "childhood friends eventually fall in love when they get older" is just used too much for me to like it. I do read fanfics with these pairings once and while, but I prefer Vincent fanfics and I don't like most stories that mostly just focuses on pairings.
Most canon pairings bore me mostly because too many fanfics with the pairing often do the same thing too much, in my opinion. It's not only CloudxAeris and CloudxAeris fanfics that does this.
What I like about slight crack fanfics is that it's easier to make the pairing interesting. Most slight crack pairings are at least a little challenging, so it's easier to create originality and/or create interesting stories with them.
I do like a few canon pairings, but most crack pairings are more interesting for me to read.

Well, it's Kingdom Hearts fandom, but I'll offer up Yuffie/Axel as my favorite crack-pairing as of right now. Yuffie, at least, is originally a Final Fantasy character. It's an extremely weird pairing, and I don't know what made me think of it, but one day I was writing it and now I periodically go on a hunt for more fics of this persuasion. There definitely aren't many.
I agree with this. Crack pairings, when done, tend to be more interesting for me. A lot of times, shoving two unlikely characters together is fun for watching how the characters react. *glee*
Oh, as for guilty pleasures, I'd have to say Auron/Rikku and Yuffie/Cid (I understand completely that most of you will violently disagree with Yuffie/Cid, and I understand that the age-difference can be squicky, but I think it's so interesting if done well--mind you, I've only ever read one fic where it's done well).

Aurriku eats my soul (Oh I am soooo writing this completely randoml AU fic for them(ish) at the moment, but *gasp* AU where Auron ISN'T a teacher! Unpossible. yes Aurikku-school fics p**s me off ) And I READ YOUR YUFFIE/AXEL!!! *smiles as if she actually knows you* Axel is adorable and I love all chapters to date *brain morphs you to write* [/fangirling]

Reasons Fear is being bad: 1. Double posting 2. Non-final-fantasy-pairing talk, but this thread *is* about crackpairings 3. Sasuke/Sakura/Naruto threesomes....I...I...I don't know how it happened....please god blame the fic (mischeif maker 2.0). It's just soooo, like, yay-they're alll together again and...uh, yeah, OT3 to the max Also, Naruto/Ino - once again, blame the dammed fic. Soooorrry but I needed to tell someone

You know what, fear? You have the weirdest f**k**g interest (in pairings) I've ever heard about.
Sasuke/Sakura/Naruto is almost worse than Hinata/Itachi. Almost. Or Sakura/Deidara, which is disgustingly popular.

If we;re confessing odd pairings... *raises hand*
Gaara/Kiba... Sparked by a picture in a youtube pairings slideshow...
Cos Kiba seems the type to hump anything that moves... and I can see Gaara screwing him as a kick in the teeth to 'love' in general... yeah. It's bad, I know...

hee hee hee.....
BLAME THE DAMMED FIC!!! THEY JUST MAKE IT SO ADDICTING!!!
Sakura gets paired with everyone, literally.... because she's the main girl or summant.
I kinda like a really tame and 'puppy-eyes' kind of Hinata/Kiba pairing, like, as in him liking her but being all shy and not-doing-anything about it.
Oh, and a single piece of Gaara/Naruto fic had me kinda... *looks around to see if anyone's watching* 'aw'

Aaah, I've read a Sephiroth/Reno, and I think that triggered a defense reflex somewhere, which lead to my eyes committing suicide.

But then you can't gaze upon Deridara's beautiful face And did he fall for the bucket trick? He'll totally fall for it, I SWEAR!!! Crackships are good because of my rule: My rule: One good character + other good character MUST EQUALS GOOD TOGETHER. Right? :S
