Re: Pairings you ship, without having seen the source

[(Anonymous)]

I don't even know how one does this. Is it just a purely physical "they're hot and would be hot together" thing?

Re: Pairings you ship, without having seen the source

[(Anonymous)]

For me, it's a lot of art that's on my dash and headcanons that people have. I've kind of seen the scenes the characters are in as they're gifed. And I've read some fic. So, I became interested in them from a visual/story-telling place and became hooked reading fic.

Re: Pairings you ship, without having seen the source

They're hot, plus, semi-exposure to the fandom gives you an idea - accurate or not - of what the dynamics of these characters are and a vague understanding of the setting. For me, it'd be a case of me not being interested in the series itself - for any reason (too long, not my genre, whatever) but something about my perceived dynamic of these hot characters in that setting rings my bells.

If I read a fic and like the dynamic, I may end up shipping even if I haven't read canon yet. though in my case, I'd read part of canon, just not the parts containing the ship.

Re: Pairings you ship, without having seen the source

If I see a bunch of fics on AO3 from a particular ship that all feature a bunch of dynamics and tropes I like, I'm definitely going to check that out, especially if it's popular (because that means there's going to be a ton of fic for me to read if I do like it). Or if I'm searching via tags to start with.

So yeah. Mostly an AO3 thing for me.

And you can usually pick up enough info from fandom osmosis to make it work.

Re: Pairings you ship, without having seen the source

Usually it's more about the dynamics and/or actors than whether they're hot.

A couple times it's been because I've heard people talking about the source (or read a review) and I shipped it just because of the way the characters/dynamic were described.

And in a couple other examples, it was because the actors had worked together before and I'd shipped their previous characters so I shipped the new ones automatically because I knew the actors had chemistry.
