Troll troll troll your boat!

Because not everything is about a happily ever after. There are AUs and the multiverse. There are dark ships. There is just pure one-shot smut with random pairings. There are threesomes and moresomes. There are past relationships of characters.

There is so much to explore in fiction. Sure I have some OTPs. I also multiship. The idea that OTPing is the only option is completely ludicrous.

[(Anonymous)]

awwww well you stay mad while multishippers continue to have fun :)

[(Anonymous)]

I wtfed at this when it was first posted and whaddaya know, still wtfing over here, even though all my favorite ships are OTPs.

[(Anonymous)]

As a writer I was never tempted to multiship, as I have a clear preference. As a reader I might have a fandom bicycle if fic is good.

It seems like people who multiship are less obsessed with their ships and emotionally removed, and in that sense are less of a fan. Doesn't mean that they're bad writers or that their shipping is false.

I make exceptions for the few canon love interests that I like. I ship Vimes/Vetinari but I also like Vimes/Sybil.

This is...something I saw today.

[(Anonymous)]

The more ships I support, the larger the pool of fanworks I can pick from, which means that my lake of fanworks will last a significantly longer period than your singular fandom puddle.

Stay mad about it.

OP must really hate the '____ has two hands' meme.

I call myself a writer with an imagination.

[(Anonymous)]

An imagination that extends to putting my favorite characters with any other characters that I think they would have interesting dynamics with. I guess I try to see the characters I write as individuals who aren't just part of a couple, but ones that, like people, have different facets to explore and are affected by and often changed by their experiences. Also, I believe you can fall in love with and be in love with more that one person (either serially or simultaneously).

But you must hate television show writers because most characters I can think of have more than one relationship.

[(Anonymous)]

But why does someone need to ship something to write it well? All they have to do is understand the characters well enough and come up with a good story.

[(Anonymous)]

Fandom is a banquet, and I don't plan on starving.


I definitely have my ships, but sometimes I tire of one, want to have another -- but I always come back later. To all of them . In all my fandoms. It just depends on my mood. I don't always want to have mac 'n' cheese for dinner, sometimes I want sushi. Sometimes I want tacos.

Also, I don't understand "break up your ship" -- Nah. That ship stays in tact. Now I just go write another fic about another dynamic I like featuring one of the persons in question. They don't have to break up. Or be ruined. It's that easy!

[(Anonymous)]

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[meadowphoenix]

"you call yourself a shipper" tickles me, I can't stop laughing omg

ok Ahab.

[(Anonymous)]

I think multishippers are the only ones who can be trusted to write fics of my ships. OTP-ers are too biased.

[(Anonymous)]

fandom really gave everyone brain rot

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a hardcore serial monogamist when it comes to my OTPs. I only ever have one OTP at a time, and I've only had six OTPs in nineteen years of doing fandom. And honestly, I think I understand how you feel, OP.

I disagree with you, though. I've read plenty of good fics by multi-shippers. And being a shipper doesn't necessarily mean you want two characters to get together in canon. For a lot of people it just means you're interested in exploring a sexual/romantic relationship between the characters. That doesn't mean you can't also be interested in exploring a sexual/romantic relationship between one of those characters and a third character.

I'm playing devil's advocate here, because as I said, I'm a HUGE mono-shipper myself. But your secret is just so OTT and judgmental that I really can't agree with it, even though multi-shipping holds zero appeal for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay then. Feel free not to read any stories written by multishippers.

[(Anonymous)]

This is beautiful. Whether you're a brilliant troll or a sincere idiot, I just want to say thank you, OP. The laugh was much needed.

[(Anonymous)]

is this really the hill you wanna die on OP

[(Anonymous)]

A fandom acquaintance blew up on me once for shipping both her OTP and her NoTP, you would have thought I'd committed adultery or rape by deception; is that you Ex-Friend-of-mine?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm kind of all over the place when it comes to shipping. Sometimes it's all about A/B from beginning to end and it never changes.

Other times I might start out shipping A/B, then realize I actually like B/C's chemistry/dynamic bettter and end up shipping them hard and never go back.

Sometimes I might go back and forth between A/B and B/C depending on what happens in canon.

Other times I might halfheartedly ship A/B and think it's cute enough but not be super invested, and it's only because C hasn't shown up yet or I haven't really seen B/C interact yet (because it hasn't happened, or I'm not all caught up with canon yet), but once I do, I'm super into them and never waver.

There's even one instance where I watched a remake first, liked A/B, then shifted to B/C, but by the end I couldn't stand either and the only pairing I even kind of liked was A/D, but then I watched the original version and I was all about A/B throughout and never changed my mind.

There's another example where I was all about A/B until I happened to read a fic that was good enough to convince me that B/C actually made more sense, and although that only lasted like, a week, and I went back to preferring A/B, in the back of my mind I was still okay with the concept of B/C (and would've much preferred it to how the series actually ended, but that's an entirely different story).

Then there's one where A/B are canon but the writing for the relationship is a disaster and in theory I like B/C better because I think the writing for that relationship is better, but the A/B actors are just so great together it's really hard not to like them.

My point is, there's no one right way to be a shipper, and you're an idiot.
