As usual, please ignore the gap between #2 and this one.

03. You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them?

I am an avid multishipper, but I generally don't do OT3s because that's a whole new ship I might not enjoy the dynamics of. I think to OT3, I'd have to enjoy A/B, B/C, and A/C all before I could ship A/B/C. (After all, sometimes the third person is away and it's just two of them interacting.) The only fandom where I remember shipping to OTP/OT3 degree both A/B and A/B/C is Guardian, where I shipped Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan and also Shen Wei/Ye Zun/Zhao Yunlan, because with Ye Zun's Issues(TM) this felt like a reasonable outcome of Shen Wei loving his boyfriend and his little brother and wanting happiness for both.

(I swear I'm not usually an incest shipper, I just ... well. Ye Zun.)

There are some things where I do ship the A/B and the A/B/C without shipping B/C or A/C, now that I think about it, but not quite to OTP or OT3 levels of shipping. In this case, it's Fives/Echo from TCW, and they can have some Anakin Skywalker as a treat. (So... I only like OT3s if I ship two siblings/quasi-siblings and give them a third person to play with? Um. I am not sure whether this is a legit description of my tastes or just coincidence due to not being that much of an OT3 person. IDK.)
