OKAY, SO, AS FAR AS ARBITRARY DEFINITIONS OF FANDOM SLANG, GO, what are the restrictions on "OTP"?

You can only have one OTP per fandom. (eg. If you OTP Ron/Hermione you can only "ship" Harry/Ginny, not OTP them.)

You can only have one OTP per character. (eg. Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione can both be OTPs, but Ron/Hermione and Ron/Luna cannot.)

OTP just means something you ship really hard, regardless of overlap or conflict or number. (eg. Ron/Hermione and Ron/Luna OTP!)
29 (33.7%)
You can only have one OTP at all. (eg. RON/HERMIONE OR BUST)

Something else elaborate to be explained in the comments.

That's how I approach it as well. I use OTP quite sparingly. I have shows that I know a pair of characters are amazing together, but they are not quite OTP level for me. So then when I have something that is OTP-level for me, like in Doctor Who, it's doubtful the show is going to have two couples that inspire me to the same lengths as my first OTP in the fandom.
