(frozen comment) tl;dr ensues

Yannow, I used to care about this sort of thing (lololol Slayers fandom), but these days I just don't. Why can't we just have fandom fun and not get our collective panties in a twist when someone has a different opinion?

And frankly, I've seen quite a number of people ship something JUST TO BE OMGDIFFERENT and that doesn't strike me as necessarily being *creative.* If you can ship it convincingly--good characterization, interesting plot, then yes I'd say you are creative. Slapping two characters together and tossing characterization out the window? Not terribly creative.

Normally I'm of the same opinion, but people claiming they're better because they ship 'canon' does get my panties in a small wedgie (small, because ship fights are funny dammit. "The man who learns to laugh at himself" and all that.)

I've been guilty of that, I admit. I've shipped something just to see if I could make it believable and get the dynamic of said pairing right. I don't know if it makes me better or worse that I did it for the challenge rather than to be 'creative.' (Because like you said, weird pairing does not creative make.)

For the challenge is fine, it's when people do it to jump up and down and say how different and creative they are is when I start rolling my eyes. I do love a good crack pairing when done just right.

Agreed on both parts.
