Randomness...

Well, [livejournal.com profile] greenygal mentioned to me the other night the possibility of a pairing generator that would give random pairings of people in the Lantern, Flash, and Arrow families.

So, I wake up this morning, steal some coding, and this was the result. Advice on further inclusions, exclusions, etc. is greatly appreciated.

As is fic based on any of the pairings so created, although many--perhaps most--of these pairings should *really, really* be interpreted as gen.

Joan Garrick / Iris Allen shouldn't be so much more ...off than Jay/Barry, and yet? It really IS.

Yeah, I know, I should think gen. I'm trying. It's not working.

I think things do get more off with non-superheroes--not as many cracked-up excuses available. That and the fact that Joan and Iris are defined more by their marriages than Jay and Barry.

Good luck thinking gen. Or, for that matter, slash--which is where *my* mind balks.
