* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' fandom, the majority of the fans go for Terry with his best friend Max or one-time girlfriend [[DatingCatwoman Melanie]]. Few actually pair him with his on-and-off canon girlfriend Dana Tan, as she's [[SatelliteLoveInterest the least developed character of the three]]. As a matter of fact, in the Season One DVD Behind the Scenes featurette, it is discovered that Alan Burnett actually wanted to write an episode where Terry and Max ended up together, but Bruce Timm refused, and Terry ends up getting hitched to Dana in the future as shown in the JLU episode "Epilogue."

*** Numbah 1/Numbah 362 (Rachel McKenzie) is another popular pairing. Many assumed this 'ship would sail after Nigel and Lizzie's break-up in the final season, but Nigel's promotion to the Galactic Kids Next Door sunk it instead, still, that hasn't stopped many fanfic authors sending Rachel off into the stars in pursuit of him...

*** Because of the apparent separation building from "Ember Island Players" to around "Nightmares and Daydreams", it is actually possible to see Aang and Katara as ''broken up'' and Aang as simply a guest at Zuko's celebration. Because there is no real make up phase, you'd need simply need to remove the very ending scene.

* Although ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}'' was created as a NoHuggingNoKissing series, Fillmore/Ingrid have a fanbase of a rather impressive size. The shippers have a lot to base off of, since their buddy-cop conversations can often be taken as a subtle DoubleEntendre, sounding somewhat flirtatiously on more than one occassion.

** For some bizarre reason Jane also gets paired up with Mr. D of all people fairly often. Apparently many fans took a small scene in ''Just Add Water'' where he hesitates while coming up with a reason to give away his poker chips to her to stave off a relapse of his gambling addiction not as him struggling to find something nice to say about an ignorant stoner chick who always sleeps through his class but as him thinking "Oh shit, how can I tell her I think she's hot and still keep my job." Amusingly enough, it may be worth noting that many of the shows fans are actually teachers and thus their interpretations of the Lawndale High faculty's characters are not without merit...

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sym-Bionic Titan}}'': The pairing of Ilana and Lance (dubbed Ilanca by the shippers) has been favored since the very first episode, despite the fact that in the show they're posing as siblings and have other potential love interests. Not to mention that the show's creator Genndy Tartakovsky, has stated in interviews that he wants their relationship to be a platonic one.

** Actually, Fraphne is [[{{Older Than They Think}} earlier]] than the ''Mystery Incorporated'' show. Think about the [[{{Film/ScoobyDoo}} 2002]] and [[{{Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed}} 2004]] live-action movies.
** Also, in the ''Scooby Doo'' section on {{Fanfiction Dot Net}}, most of the romance fics contain Fraphne and/or "Shelma" (Shaggy and Velma). Shaphne is the third most popular {{Het}} pairing and "Frelma" (Fred and Velma) is fourth.

* Since the beginning of ''Superjail!'', many fans have embraced the idea of Warden/Mistress (Misden or Wardess) getting together, most of the time being aware that they are foes. Many fanfics have depicted them falling in love slowly and realizing that they were meant to be. Unfortunately, as of Season 3, this does not appear possible.

* Despite both Ben and Gwen receiving love interests in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' (potential or otherwise), support for [[KissingCousins Cousinshipping]] has not waned in the slightest. Why should it? [[RelationshipWritingFumble Gwen herself]] says Julie should find Ben attractive because he's "funny, sensitive, and well-mannered... unlike some people I know." Not to mention Julie being widely seen as a SatelliteInterest; Gwen at least was fortunate enough to get officially paired with an actual character.
