I ship both Spike and Fred and Spike and Illyria in AtS. It's... not really that hard.

[brooms]

i'm not talking about difficulty, i'm talking about frequency.

do you also ship both buffy/spike and buffy/angel?

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I think being a multishipper (as in liking multiple ships simultaneously) is not necessarily directly related to taking sides in the major fandom ship wars?

I multishipped in Buffyverse, but the characters I was multishipping were Faith, Giles and Wesley (and Spike, but usually as part of a pair with one of the other three). I loved Wesley/Gunn, Wesley/Illyria, Faith/Wesley, Faith/Buffy, Spike/Wesley, Spike/Giles, Spike/Wesley/Giles, Giles/Ethan and Giles/Joyce all about equally. To be honest, I didn't care about Buffy unless she was paired with Faith (in fanfic, on the show was different), and the Buffy/vampire romances never did it for me. So my only opinion on the Buffy/Angel vs Buffy/Spike war was that a) she was better paired with Faith, and b) for the love of god, woman, stop sleeping with vampires, it never ends well.

My point being, I don't really think participation or lack of participation in the major ship wars has any real bearing on whether or not someone is a multishipper?

[citrinesunset]

This. I don't see how it's relevant. Being a multishipper just means you like multiple ships, and maybe ship the same characters with different people.

[brooms]

My point being, I don't really think participation or lack of participation in the major ship wars has any real bearing on whether or not someone is a multishipper?

but unlike the secret, i'm not really interested on whether someone is a "rill" multishipper. what interests me is the shape their multishipping takes (eta: one of them is mentioned in the secret - the one true character shape). that's why i was talking about frequency.

"yeah, i like everyone/everyone... just not that one other big pairing that opposes my fave" and "i ship character X with everyone, really, just... not with their assigned canon love interest" are some of the most popular/frequent shapes, in my experience.

and multishipping across major fandom divides is the rarest shape.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. Okay. Well, I've shipped "character X with everyone AND their canon love interest" (for example Tony x everyone including Pepper).

I've never really been involved in a major ship war, though. As in, at all. Part of that is because megaships make me paranoid, so I don't actively ship them in fandom (I watched some of the big ship wars in Harry Potter fandom back in the day, it makes one paranoid). I'm trying to think, I don't think I've ever majorly shipped either side, let alone both. In fandoms with megaships, I tend to gravitate towards a few smaller niche ships than get involved in the big ones (in SGA, for example, I stayed clear of McShep and John/Elizabeth, and flirted with Rodney/Ronon, Rodney/Radek, Radek/Ronon and Rodney/Teyla instead). I might like the idea of the bigger ships, but I'm not going to write them or talk about them, on the grounds that ship wars are way too much stress for my hobby.

So yes, I haven't really shipped across a major fandom divide. Less because of the ships themselves, though, and more because of the divide, since I'm more likely to dump out both ships than pick one and fight for it.
