what sorts of pairings do you like, OP?

(Anonymous) 2015-09-30 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I am the same!

I have no idea why or how... though I think the lack of face-to-face in real life relationships was a big motivator, but now that I've been a part of (sorry, now that I'm in) a committed relationship, I still love shipping and ships and feel so empty without an OTP.

Best of luck finding a pairing that suits you!

I would recommend you pick something with an active/alive fandom because it's much easier to sustain a ship with new source material. I'm forever amazed at how people can singlehandedly populate a ship with fanart/fanfic (especially for dead series) while shouting into the void. ;_;

I'm in exactly the same boat, OP. I've gone back to old fandoms in the hopes of recapturing some of the magic but I'd love something new.

Same. I don't think it's pathetic though.

Everyone enjoys fandom differently.

I have to say it's the weirdest thing to ship something like burning and NOT want to write/read fic for it after canon. Like, because it was covered that well in canon.

But I am a shipper through and through and won't have the above pairing as an OTP because I like ships I can wrestle with.

i found you can't go searching for an otp, they come to you when you least expect it.

i've been in fandom so long shipping things has just become a part of my life in this weird way. and for a while there nothing was hitting the mark and i was just looking for something to read but it wasn't working for me. it's such a strange feeling. but i couldn't force myself to like things i didn't. i just had to wait it out until i came across something that sparked.

if it's pathetic then we can be pathetic together.

You can always go back to your old ships?

If that's what you like about fandom, then no, I don't see it as pathetic. (Might as well enjoy yourself, right?)

Maybe you should find a series that seems like something you would care for and go into it open to the idea of new ships?

That's usually what I do anyway, but then again I ship in basically anything and everything so I never have trouble finding new pairings.

If you want to get into a fandom specifically for the ship, then you should tell us what kind of pairings you go for. Someone might be able to suggest a series.

I can't force ships on myself, I either like it that way or I don't, so when I'm in a 'no new ship' rut I tend to go look at old ships instead for a bit of nostalgia feels(and it usually works which is nice).

But you should enjoy yourself in fandom whatever way works for you.

I can't really get into fandoms unless I ship something, so I definitely know how you feel, anon.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-01 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
I ship Ranma/Ryouga myself, they have the best hate sex and love-fights.

(Anonymous) 2015-10-01 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Holy shit, someone else still ships this?! I wish I could muster up inspiration to write fic for it, because I've been shipping it low-key for over ten years. :P
