Since I have no LJ account (I stay away from blogs), I'll have to comment here.
One of my tendencies is to ship for the underdog.
Examples:
Lenier and Delenn (B5)
Seiya and Usagi (Sailor Moon, since Seiya >>> Mamoru)
Though this only applies when I either feel sympathetic to said underdog (Lenier) or when the main male lead is a jerk (Mamoru).
I also ship psycho and stalker types with the object of their "affections."
Examples:
Techno and "Daisy" (Don't Leave Me Alone Daisy)
Fiore and Mamoru (Sailor Moon R Movie)
Bubbancy and Integra
Envy and Ed (FMA)
Shizuru and Natsuki (Mai Hime and Otome)

I like the romantic longshots. There's a plethora of examples, like Love Hina's Keitarou x Naru.

I dunno, sometimes a pairing is soooo out there that the characters would be wildly out of character for it to even work, thus destroying sense of disbelief.

I didn't bring this up in the comic because it was getting too long, but I like thieves and the detectives that hunt them =) It's a well-rounded group: you got your shoujo-ai (Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne: MarronxMiyako), your het (Kaitou Saint Tail: Asuka Jr.xMeimi), and your shounen-ai (Lupin III: LupinxZenigata). Pet Shop of Horrors' LeonxD is a variation ^_^

Don't forget Light x L from Death Note. While not a thief, Light is certainly a criminal. It's amazing how much Light x L slash is out there.

Leon and D. didn't have a romantic relationship ... not really.  ; Not in the manga, anyway. |

I didn't say Leon and D had a romantic relationship (in canon); I just said I shipped the pairing. (You know the mangaka was hinting at it, like, every other chapter.)
I only just got into Death Note ("only just" = "yesterday"), but I'm already tending towards LightxL - and now that you mention that it fits the pattern, I'm not surprised.
Frankly, I'm not surprised that they're slashed a lot, either. Their relationship is very intense. That always leads to shipping.

I tend to ship canon relationships pretty much to the exculsion of all else; as a writer I really understand that writers attempt to put a lot of emotion and thought behind their pairings and I have a hard time simply throwing together two characters in my head. On the other hand, I do ship a few relationships that I think make a sense. For example, Fred Gallagher has told us that there is no relationship between Ping and Miho in Megatokyo, but I ship it anyway because I find the pairing very fitting the characters. Likewise, I totally support Rip and Dandy in Hellsing. However, I'd make a very bad Shine fanboy because I don't want to see my shipped characters just spontaniously kissing, I want to see the whole relationship unfold.

*is shallow* whoever I like with whoever else I like. Hence: HermionexGinny, AlucardxIntegra(backed up by evidence, but I'd ship it anyway), VincentxRosso. C'mon, it's fairly obvious that he'd go for the first babe he found with red hair if she didn't try to kill him.

I suppose I normally ship opposites, for example Ami Mizuno/Lita Makoto from Sailor Moon, Walter/Alucard from Hellsing, Ceras/Pip from Hellsing too. I also tend to favor the megane-ko's being paired with someone that'd challenge them to escape the books, for example like Ami/Lita above, Yomiko Readman/Nenene Sumiregawa or Nancy Makuhari, or Nodoka Miyazaki/Negi Springfield from Mahou Sensei Negima.
In the past, I have had the challenge of giving proof for a variety of shipper pairings, some random, some that other people have supported, and I could normally find something to support them. I'm a shipper-holic, and need help.

I try to pair megane-ko's with other megane-ko's, because if one girl with glasses is good, then two is better. XD
And I don't want Yomiko to stop being bookish. She'd lose half her charm if she did.

My pairing tendencies tend to fall into three categories:
Canon or nearly canon
Character x Me
Almost random
First category would be Marcus-Ivanova for Babylon 5 or Utena-Anthy for Revolutionary Girl Utena.
Second would be Rally Cheyenne-Me or Setsuna Meiou-Me for Silent Mobius and Sailor Moon (you know what they say about Scorpios, though having two of them together can be troublesome).
Third would be Kyouya-Ranka for Ouran High School Host Club or maybe Nausicaa-Kushana for Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind.
