@ kay: But isn't that really only in [deleted on the account of furthering cultural stereotypes] countries?

Back to the topic at hand, yeah, I ship. I just don't make a big deal about it. At the very least, I'm acceptant of any official couple unless it's a case of particularly bad writing (i.e. Strangled by the Red String, etc.), and even then do I rarely go against canon (although I'll admit that I have my fair share of pairings I prefer to the canon ones). If anything, I'm more prone to having qualms with characters being demonized because of their threat to potential ships or certain sectors of the fanbase protesting that their ship must be the OTP (and fanatically so at that) when the material itself shows otherwise.

Shipping! I'm a pretty big shipper! I tend to go for Offical Couples most often unless Strangled by the Red String as what [up] he said. Stalking is Love is a big Pet-Peeve Trope of mine though and I might not ship a couple if there is a vibe of stalkerism there.

I define OTP as being a couple that if you can only ship one for the entire series, it would be that.

Ah hell, here I am.

I stick with canon and strong hints, but sometimes I make up something random just for the hell of it.

I respect canon pairings. I support pairings which don't interfere with canon pairings and could work. And sometimes I ship characters who aren't even from the same universe but would probably hit it off if they met.

Looking for some stories?

I wish I cared about shipping. I... just don't do it that much, and when I do, it's boring old canon stuff. And even then, I've never written it into a fanfic. I've never started writing a fic with the thought, "I am gonna ship the SHIT out of this couple!" ;_;

I feel like I'm missing out.

So I like Amazon's shipping deal where you get it for free if you purchase more than $25 worth of stuff, but I don't order nearly enough to qualify for it most of the time, which makes me sad. I shouldn't have to pay four dollars shipping on an eight dollar book. That's dumb.

Hence why you get rolepalying books there, or buy novels in bulk.

Oh wait.
