How do you ship nonsexually?

Oh, right. That's called friendship LOL and I have never ever in any fandom heard of any wank or shipping wars centered around friendship--only around the doing it kind.

Which is to say: rock on with the Gandalf & Bilbo OR the Gandalf/Bilbo.

Uh... write or read or imagine a nonsexual romance between the characters? It wouldn't be that hard....

[lunabee34]

Is that the kind of thing a writer is likely to get dogpiled on for in *any* fandom, though, much less in The Hobbit, where the friendships between the characters is so foregrounded?

I've never seen anybody rag on anybody else for writing friendship fic.

[inkmage]

No, probably not, although my fandom experience has apparently been rather calm so I'll leave the tales of horror to more qualified folks.

Also, shipping nonsexually wouldn't be a friendship fic. It would be a fic where two characters are in a romantic relationship that both of them have agreed, implicitly or explicitly, does not involve sex. There is a difference - romance doesn't have to mean sex, although it does for a lot of people.

[lunabee34]

Fortunately, I don't have any tales of horror either. My fandom experiences have been pretty much uniformly positive. :)

Holy shit, thank you.

Seriously? Lucky you. Mind you, there's frequently an additional undercurrent of "Reason #17354 Guy X shouldn't be paired with Girl Y: he's a bad friend to Guy Z", but that's mainly because most wanky fans in general are also rabid shippers.

[lunabee34]

Oh, that's unfortunate. I've only seen that kind of reaction to romantic ship fic. :(
