Re: How do you ship, F!S?

Honestly it depends on the fandom and the characters, and to some extent the size of the cast. I think I'm more prone to multishipping in larger casts basically because there are more options and more interactions, while canons with very limited casts I generally OTP or OT3.

What I will generally have in any fandom is a favourite character or handful of characters that I'm interested in reading fic about, and whether I OTP or multiship them they WILL be the focus of my shipping in that fandom. Bigger casts I'm more likely to have a few entirely separate favs-and-people-I-ship-them-with groups. In the comics canons, for example, I have about five or six faves that I ship with about three to six people each, sometimes overlapping. In smaller canons, I'll usually only have one or two ships per fav. Het/slash/femslash again depends on which fandom/characters we're talking about. I'm also a-okay for OT3s and polyamory, especially since I tend to teamship a lot.

As for which characters I pick to ship my favs with, it's mostly based on strength of connections in canon, or on things like personality traits that I think could have led to interesting connections had they had more interaction in canon. It doesn't necessarily have to be healthy or romantic connections, either. I shipped Javert/Valjean passionately, for example, just for the sheer weight of effect they had on each other, even if that weight of effect ended up outright killing one of them. I have a lot of fondness for hunter/hunted dynamics, teams, brothers-in-arms, hated rivals, worthy enemies, betrayer/betrayed, lifemates ... My point being, so long as there are powerful emotions involved and/or strong thematic links, I'm probably good for it.
