IDK, I don't see Inception as conducive to OTPing, personally. I'm not an A/E shipper but I can see why people can ship them. It's just that I can also see why people would want to ship Cobb/Arthur, Cobb/Saito, Arthur/Ariadne, Yusef/Eames, Cobb/Eames and so on. They all felt like they had equal potential for shipping to me and I've never understood why Inception fandom latched so hard onto A/E and rejected any other pairings.

The overwhelming OTP style of A/E made it not a hostile fandom for me (since again, I don't ship it), but decidedly not a welcoming one. I feel like I'm not alone with that either, given the high volume of people who comment now and again about just not getting why A/E was so popular and how they came out of the theatre shipping X/Y or nothing at all.

Yeah, I never quite get it when ensemble-y source materials with no canon pairings generate a single-minded OTP fandom.

I think Sherlock, a show that would be justifiably OTP-ish to my mind, has more variety going for it than Inception and Teen Wolf.

Cobb/Saito! Why are there not more people writing that? Also Eames/Fischer, for effed-up identity-play/false-friend angst? And Yusef/everyone (he was my favourite, why is he so rarely shipped with ... well, anyone?).

Don't get me wrong, Arthur/Eames was cool and all. But ... seriously? Why is it the only thing there is??

I like/liked a lot of Inception ships, and Arthur/Cobb is my absolute favorite. I liked A/E all right, but it didn't do anything for me, either, and eventually I got tired of it from overexposure.

Like you say, Inception wasn't a hostile fandom to me, but it didn't feel very welcoming, either. I frequently felt like I was missing out a lot because I didn't ship A/E. I felt like activity in the Inception fandom was so centered around A/E that it was easy to be left out or miss stuff.

Well…I am an A/E shipper but I could see other pairings too. I'm really not sure why A/E either. I know a lot of people claimed it was the "darling" line but I was actually shipping it before that line…and they were in what, five scenes before that? Usually my ships aren't the popular ones so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this one was. But I still wonder why, I mean, why not Arthur and Ariadne who at least kissed in the film? :/

Inception is the first fandom where I didn't manage to spot the fandom's OTP from a mile away. I honestly thought that Arthur/Cobb would be the most popular.
