Oh, but it took me forever to figure out what OTP stood for! Now, you're gonna change it? *pouts*
Seriously, I get where you're coming from. Me, I've always thought it meant one's personal favorite, your very own one true pairing, not that it was, like, the *only* true pairing...maybe that's where the confusion comes in? And I am an OTP'er...like you said, I know that it means I miss out on some really wonderful fic, but I just can't bring myself to read them. I've tried. I just feel...tainted, afterwards. Like I've cheated. Or like *they* have, and I've watched them and kept silent. Weird, huh?
Although, I have to say, NCIS is one fandom where I can read just about any pairing and enjoy it. I love Tim/Tony to pieces, but I can actually read them with other people and it doesn't bother me, as long as everyone seems to be in character. I wonder why that it is.
