I just realised I have no idea how to insert icons into the body of a post... But I'll respond here :-)
Interesting that you picked three of the four shows I've liked enough to write anything in... I don't have to see slash potential (never saw any in SG1, for example) but there has to be something in the relationship - I couldn't explain what, but I know it when I see it.
First one - although I never actually got into the fandom, I enjoyed watching SG1. The relationship between the characters really worked for me. Have only written a couple of SG1 stories, and they were crossed with Sentinel.
Second one - I was only marginally into Professionals fandom, but again I liked the relationship between the characters. Wrote one or two stories, but not many.
Third - Bobbi, my Bulgarian karakachan (or karakachan cross) rescue dog. I've had him about eleven months now, and while he's still extremely nervous with strangers he's finally relaxed with me.
Fourth - well, Blair of course. One of my favourite fictional characters, and most of the Sentinel stories I've written are Blair-centric. Unlike many writers, I don't subject my favourite characters to extreme injury, though - I prefer to have them getting on with the story, not languishing in a hospital bed :-)
Fifth - my living room window faces north, and, just looking out of the window, I often see rainbows. I was struck by the sheer beauty of this one, which (although it's not terribly clear) is a double. The photo just didn't do justice to the actual rainbow, though.
