Re: Your weirdest ship

[diet_poison]

IDK about Star Trek but this sentiment really bugs me. SEX IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ROMANCE.

ayrt

Yeah, true, but I meant that if the ayrt was going by friendship + the mind-melding from the novel = automatic romance, that's bogus.

If they ship them, but in an asexual way, that's a totally different story and perfectly reasonable -- I understand that it is a thing, even if it's very rare in fanfic.

Fair enough!

Re: Your weirdest ship

[intrigueing]

That's true. However, I think it's an unusual and vague enough concept that any specific fic's version of non-sexual romance needs to be defined kind of explicitly to be convincing (unless of course the writer is deliberately leaving the relationship ambiguous, which is totally different and also a pretty cool thing in fanfic). Mind-melding in itself doesn't constitute romance, and t'hy'la pretty explicitly is a word that is applied to those who are thought of as friends, brothers, or lovers.

I have read a couple of fics that did the "non-sexual romantic relationship" idea really well actually, though not in this fandom...

Ah, okay. That's context I didn't have. Thanks!
