I have no problem with shipping as long as the ships are supportable and not simply completely disgusting.

For example, there are South Park fans who ship Kyle and Cartman. Even though they hate each other. And even though neither has stated that they are attracted to men. And even though both of them are like fucking 10 years old.

To be fair, those are usually written under the assumption they are teenagers

Admittedly, there's some crack pairings out there that are just plain fun to consider... say, anything involving Discord and Pinkie...

... ... I still don't know how that one actually got TRACTION in the fandom...

Discord/Pinkie is fun, but you know who I prefer to pair him with... ;)

Discord x Big Mac? :P

Mulder/Scully is the original ship, and the best ship.

Hagrid will never like My Chemical Romance, nor will he ever be a goth.

You realize that that particular scenario is from a well-known trollfic, right?

I do.

So is the one about Greystripe. Seriously, Starkit's Prophecy can give anything Tara Gilesbie shits out a run for its money any day.

I don't get why you're all freaking out about it and talking about it as if it were legit shipping, then. I mean, there's crazy shippers, I give you that, but trollfics aren't taken seriously and thus aren't of the same caliber as, say, shipping Lucius Malfoy and Hermione despite the fact that for that pairing to have any traction one or both of them need to act incredibly out of character.

Or maybe I'm just reading you wrong?

I was simply thinking of random examples of characters taken way OOC.

I know of a webcomic where Satan rapes Jesus.

To me the mark of a good writer is someone who can make the most unlikely premises work while staying true to the character. So far, precious few are able to do this.

I'm a huge, obsessive Dragon Age fan with a total fangirl crush on Duncan, the guy who recruits you for the Grey Wardens. I've even wrote semi-self insert/pure fangirling fanfiction and published it. (I have no shame; I regret nothing!). I also adore Alistair in it and can handle Zevran... *wanders off to bunk*

Ahem. I digress. Some fangirls I know go apeshit at the least littlest hint of anything remotely slash involving their favourite L.I./character; I don't. I can see Duncan/Alistair (and have read some beautifully written works) if you change their father/son relationship dynamic and accept that sexuality is subordinate to personality; Duncan/Riordan (they were best friends, after all); even Alistair/Zevran... Hell, I've seen some odd relationships which work well when you think about it (and they've been written very, very well with believable character development). The ONLY slash I could NEVER see happening would be Duncan/Loghain... *shudders*

I think people are just way too attached to their favourite pairings to appreciate that other people may have different interpretations. I respect other people's right to ship as they please... just as I reserve the right to go "WTF were you THINKING?"

As for crackiest... Twilight Sparkle/Roger.

The only true pairing is Shale/Zevran (or possibly Shale/Lelianna).
