It's interesting to read about your pairing fatigue. This doesn't happen to me with all fandoms, but often I will find myself avoiding the most popular ship in fandom for a while, or at least fic that's about fandom's favorite character, which generally amounts to the same thing.

I'm not an OTPer, and at times I vastly prefer rare-pairs, simply because I find there's often less fanon associated with them. But I do have to have seen some basis for a pairing in canon--or at the very least not find the pairing actively OOC based on canon interaction. I suppose it's theoretically possible that an amazing author who saw the characters in a way that I'd recognize might be able to overcome the obstacles of clashing personality types and lack of chemistry. But that's the thing, most people when writing a pair already see subtext and possibility in their canon interaction, so they'll be starting too far away from how I see the characters for me to connect to their story. On occasion I've really enjoyed pairings in fic that never occurred to me, but never pairings I found near impossible from the source.
