wow, that is really pathetic.

Um...how is that pathetic exactly? No, really. Explain that to me.

ngl, I ship two of my own characters so hard. The worst part is that I know that a romantic relationship between them would never work, so even if I did write it, it'd end in flames.

It'd never have much of a fandom (assuming I get a fandom, period, which is unlikely), though. f/f and all that.

...I do that. xD I put a story I was writing on hiatus until I could be bothered to revise it because I realised I was way more invested in the chemistry between the main female character and the villain (which was, in fairness, a very deliberate subtext, but of the unrequited and highly nonconsensual variety) than the main romance. And, well, if I'm finding them boring there's no reason to think anyone else will like them.

Other than that the deliberate subtext I've put in has generally been in stories with few or no 'canon' romances. So yeah.

Hee! I like this. My friend/co-writer and I have already decided that we'll be horribly disappointed if our hoards of fans don't ship some non-canon stuff too and deliberately put in lots of subtext. Heh. I guess it's good to have open-ended relationships and not make your characters too narrow.

I want to get published and get a fandom so that I can get a kink meme.

TRUFAX.

I do that too. I have two characters in a story that I hint about A LOT. They have sex as well, but they don't end up together, and it would neeveeeer work between them. But I am considering writing fanfic on my own story about them having a relationship, because I really like them together. XD And if I got published and got a fandom (hey, a girl can dream, right?), I would totally read fanfics about those two!

I do that, too and I don't see it as a problem... *shrugs* To be honest, it's quite fun to me...

Hey, I ship everyone with everyone in my novel. I didn't know I was such a multi-shipper until I started this novel. Nothing wrong with that. It just means that you've created well crafted, well written, well rounded characters that have genuine chemistry with the other characters. I'd see that as a good thing. An awesome thing even.

Besides, shipping your own characters is fun. It's like a weird sort of rush.

...I kind of do this too. I mostly ship my canon couples but I also deliberately put in one-sided attractions and subtext-y "Maaaaaaybe they're into each other" ships. Nothing will ever really come of them.

And I sink ships in various cruel ways too.

Yeah. I kind of have this in a fantasy thing I'm trying to write when real life doesn't distract. I have no CONCRETE end game canon couples in mine but there's this one character who'll be friends with the main who I can't fully decide if I'll make male or female (though I'm leaning to the latter mostly really) who has something which is a bit subtexty with the main (female) character.

Either at the very least it will be kind of like a bromance except between a guy and girl or two girls.

This main female character shall also quite possibly have potential subtext (though less so) with ANOTHER female character. In fact it could be said all three of these (either all girls or slightly less likely- one of them will be a guy) could be in some triad relationship. Only not.

I've more or less decided with romance not to make any hard decisions right now and see where it develops as I write; so maybe NO romance will happen at all (though you never know it might I'm going to be focusing on the friendship first and their personalities and seeing what happens). But I still hope some tension comes through and I intend to tease a bit in any case- but if I got a fandom somehow for it and shipping, and yet there was no femmeslash at all I'd be a little bit disappointed. (-Especially- if I decided to make three out of my four main protaganists female).

Welcome to the party. Well, I almost never write romance in my stories, but I subtext the ever-loving GOD out of my characters. You're not alone in that. ^^;

I'm kind of the opposite. I deliberately troll people with UST for ships that won't happen in my original fiction.

But then again, much like real life, if it's not porn, no one's really hooking up.

Lol I do that. Don't worry, bb.

Oh, totally. In my current novel while in canon only two of the main characters are together (the teachers; the other four are students) in my head I ship the epic bromance couple despite the fact that one of them is asexual which is why in the novel the sexual one figures out it will never work and tries to move on and the other two, but theirs can only be in the future as one of them is far too damaged within the novel even as far as he's come by the end to be getting into anything with anyone else. Plus he's eleven and the other is fourteen so there would be a side of er, power issues. Not that it would be sexual but even emotionally speaking, y'know. I also ship both the teachers with one of the students because their characters so work together but writing the novel about that would've sent it off on a whooooole different track and it would've sidelined everything else, so I kept that in my head.

Uh, TL:DR; I think it's cool to ship characters in your head you haven't shipped in your writing. And also to hope you get a fandom to see if other people will do that too, and how they'd take it.

i ship my characters with characters they don't end up with too. but only in a "i think that other people would want them together, but i'm putting them with someone else ::evillaugh::" sort of way

I'm pretty sure other people do that, though.

In the original series I'm writing, there are actual romances, but I'd be curious to see what other people 'shipped if I was ever able to get it published...

I always make my two characters have a friendship with so much subtext that readers will be confused on what to call their relationship. I do this because I love debates and so that the story can appeal to both shippers and non-shippers.

nope. in my writing, when I want characters to get together, they get together...or they get together of their own accord. Though they will probably be broken up just as "unwillingly." I feel it's better this way.

...I totally did that.

With eight-year-old boys.

In a Old Norse setting.

Which was supposed to have one and a half ships in it, both straight.

(I was at least envisioning them being aged-up. And it's not as bad as that one conversation I wrote in that story where I couldn't stop seeing the squicky incest subtext EW)

I like artistic narcissism. It gives us things, like BOOKS, and MOVIES, and SHOWS...things that everyone here seems to like quite a lot. I'm always confused when secrets like this get called pathetic or whatever.

Edited 2011-04-07 01:10 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to all my noncanon ship fic and things to look at. Just because I'm not doing it doesn't mean I can't enjoy it when someone else does!

I'm drawing a comic, and I ship my own characters too. If I shall ever put it online, I really hope people will recognise the chemistry between these characters, though I'll make it super-ambiguous and won't let them get together officially. I'm not doing it to be mean, but because I don't want to shift the stress towards romantic relationships in that story, and also, I don't want to use very clear-cut concepts of "friendship" or "romantic relationship". But in my head, I totally ship them, so you're certainly not alone, OP!

In one of the fanfics I'm writing, I LOVE two of my characters and I ship them really hard, but I know they'll never date canon-wise. It wouldn't work out with the rest of the story and if they did get together the other characters would become useless. I do wish some of my friends/readers would tell me that they ship these two, but no one's said anything at all about shipping them. Oh well. I'll always have an AU in my head of the two hooking up.
