i mean it's not like anything bad happened last time we talked about the word "OTP", right?  
Poll #1788372
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 86

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

View Answers
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.

I enforce a new policy where I will only watch finished TV shows now, because OMG I just can't anymore, I have 2 many feelings to be in the cakeshop of aggers week after week. ugh x a million

I have five ~otps~ and the only one that never gave me any grief is Dave the Laugh/Georgia, even with James/Lily I have to deal with Snape and that whole thing.

That is a good policy. Because srsly though, not only are you having your heart torn out and dropped into a bucket of boiling tears every week, but you also can't explain your pain to most people because they don't understand what it is to get that invested in tv.

Dave/Gee is like, our happy place.
