I actually actively Do Not Want my ships to be canon.

[(Anonymous)]

I lose all interest in reading fic with ships as a focus when the romance is/becomes canon.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel the same way. . . sometimes.

Same. Depends on the situation, but sometimes I just really like the build-up more than anything else.

Me too!

The whole point of fic, at least for me, is to explore what might have happened.

Often if the writers try to make it canon, they do it badly, and it ruins all interest I might have had in the show/book/film/whatever. I honestly can't think of any examples where I liked the result when writers made a ship canon.

Same. I read fic for the slow-build romance/get together. Once that happens, I'm done. Lol

It's interesting to me that so many people feel this way, because I'm the opposite, and I feel like I'm greatly in the minority. I'm not big on long-drawn-out courtships or "will they, won't they?" stories. I like established relationship fic, not 20 pages of unrequited pining. If I wanted UST and hints and innuendos, I'd just watch canon.

In fic, I want someting overtly romantic/sexual to happen. I'm not keen on season after season or page after page of two characters agonizing about whether or not to get together. I like seeing them *in* a relationship. I find the build-up rather tedious, especially if the canon has already provided the build-up. For me, the only point of fic is to show me things that canon can't or won't provide. I want to *see* the happily-ever-after.

YMMV and to each their own. *shrug* I'm also not big on angst, and I suspect that these two things are related.

I can think of only two "long slow hesitant courtship" stories that I enjoyed, and that's Jim/Pam on "The Office" and Mary/Matthew on "Downton Abbey."
