[diet_poison]

This comment confuses me. Are authors not allowed to write whatever pairings they want? Do they have to be relegated to "shipping" the way the fans do?

[(Anonymous)]

The books were written ages ago. The show mostly follows the books. The story is sbout a married woman who travels in time, is forced into a second marriage and falls in love with her new husband. That she was happy with her first husband but appears to choose the 2nd over the 1st has upset the OP.

[ketita]

Maybe what they mean is that the author's preference of Claire/Jaime overshadows the development the characters actually get, and Claire's choosing Jaime over her husband isn't dealt with properly?

While I agree with you that a canon couple isn't the same as shipping, the way anon uses it makes me think that the author is going "of course they're meant to be together" without actually showing that (same as a lot of shippy fics do. You read them because you ship the characters already, and nobody needs to convince you that the ship works).

[(Anonymous)]

Well, Outlander is thinly-veiled Doctor Who fanfic, so treating it as shipping's actually kind of appropriate...

Also, unlike a lot of canon-shipping arguments, the female lead's married to two men, and spends a significant chunk of the first installment wanting to get back to her modern husband, so the investment in that couple's intentionally built, even if Claire does fall for Jaime later.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't say anything about authors not being allowed to write whatever they want, though? My point to the OP was that the books are very strongly Jamie/Claire, so if OP wasn't interested in that ship (and the secret suggests they might not be) then the books wouldn't give them any joy.

[diet_poison]

I guess I felt that was implied by your wording. Your point is fair though.
