So, does anyone have favorite ships of theirs among their characters? Relationships you really love and want to explore? Characters who just might have more chemistry than you expected? Characters you might ship on the side but not on in the main work?

Tell me about them!

Why not ship your characters, after all, if shipping others' are fun.

Um...I ONLY ship my own characters, lol. Whenever threads about shipping come up I can never contribute anything because I don't care about characters in other stories the same way. I don't associate them with songs, etc. Mine, always and everything. All the canon pairings of course, but there are a couple pairings I thought of as what-fandom-inevitably-would-do-that-would-be-terrible that I actually ended up finding darkly interesting.

My stories always focus on relationships, romantic or not.

Ohh.

Any personal favorite ships?

Well, in my current work I can't help but love my main character's lesbian romance, but the relationship that feels like the heart of the story isn't truly romantic - between a ghost from the Civil War era and one from Prohibition time. And they go through the same argument every morning.

Both of those sound very intriguing. I do like a variety of types of relationships.

I ship a lot of my characters, both what will become canon and what will not, and it amuses me to think of potential fics for different ships.

My favourite ship is one I'm really uncertain about whether I'm going to make it canon or not. To the point I've written so far it's a unrequited crush and possibly some fucking, but I'm unsure about everything but the crush. The crusher is a hopelessly romantic 19 year old girl and the crushee is a late 20s to early 30s man with a stick up his ass who really does not have romance on his mind, though I can see him trying to fuck away some stress. No matter what I choose it won't be fluffy for anyone.

In my mind however I like to imagine them really fluffy, which is so out of character for the guy. But I love it, even if it will never happen in story.

Another ship I love from this story (which is canon) is of this guy's brother and his lover, a former courtesan/current spy. They are both just really devoted to each other, though they stand on different sides of my conflict (he doesn't know that however). I don't know how it will end for them either, but as they are now, I love them.

Ohhhh

It is fun to explore ships and relationships outside the story. Sometimes for me they end up working their way in somehow, at least a mention.

Ohh that latter sounds really intriguing and different.

Usually I ship my canon ships - I need to sell the relationship, no matter how conventional or unconventional it is, and if I don't believe in it, I won't be able to make anyone else buy it.

In one story I have a couple who end up in different dimensions, with the woman trying to get to her husband or to get him back. It's cute, I think they work as a couple, but they aren't the soulmate sort of ship; they're best friends first and foremost, and if they weren't together they would probably have a very similar relationship, just without certain things. If I looked at this story from another perspective where I wasn't the writer, I'd be shipping her with a few other people.

I have another story where there's a fuckbuddies-turned-friends-with-benefits deal going on. They don't romantically love each other, and when they first start hooking up it's only for the sex with no personal attachments. Gradually they grow on each other just by merit of spending time together. I don't think they ever ~fall in love~, although I haven't decided if I want to include unrealized feelings for each other. Things do go horribly wrong due to a series of unforgivable actions combined with little to no remorse on the part of the half that does them, so if there are to be any feelings, they will never, ever be realized.

I got rambling; I love shipping my own characters, regardless of whether or not they work. One of my favorite things to develop is interpersonal relations between characters, romantic or otherwise. I can differentiate between shipping things as if I were seeing it and not creating it, but that's all for shits and giggles rather than serious shipping because I know my characters too well, and if it were to work than it'd happen in canon. (Although AUs exist and I do fudge around with those, sometimes.)

Oh yeah definitely. You can't sell a ship you wouldn't ship

Eeek sounds like a sticky situation.

I get that. AU's are fun for messing around and trying things.
