Roance VS. Ship Fic · 2:01am Mar 14th, 2017

Hello there my Name is Allan and I am here to review.

So then I've notice a few very good Romance things/stuff/stories and they're really good...

But...

This got me to thinking...

Why do people ship?

I mean I'm not saying it's bad, nor that you shouldn't do it, but why?

Yes there are and is the rule of opposites attract, but do we really NEED a story about every pairing done to death?

Some stuff is more canon than other (*cough*, LyraBon, OctaviaScratch, *cough*), others of course are only headcanon.

But why make a pair that may never work out?

Simple, because fantasy.

We escape into something that we want and two characters, no matter how implausible could work out well for one person than another.

One thing will only work for one person sometimes, and the opposite is also true.

Then of course there's the ever classic Romantic Comedy...

But at the end of the day don't ship 'just because', have a REASON.

If you don't have a reason then there won't be a story that's interesting and people won't care about it.

Also, do go into detail, many people know, want, or already think they know what love is.

Don't put crap out there, make it your very best, this is LOVE we're talking about here.

After all, love isn't easy, if it were the whole entire world would be crazy and insane.

Anyhow, that's all for now, peace out.

I see Octavia and DJ-Pon3 as sisters, but I get why they are shipped.

Sisters. nah, now way, not ever.

4455784 Have you seen how the house is set up in Slice of Life? what couple divides the house straight down the middle like they do? Seriously, that is behavior of siblings with very different tastes.

i understand what you are saying. certain ships (not to be mean but: ex. AJ x twilight) make no sense and they might not stay in the best relationship. others like AJ x RD or twilight x moondancer are more likely to ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE! In conlusion, we ship because its fun. because it's entertaining to see how 2 characters will go together and to read entertaining stories about it! (plus reading is learning, so.....) :derpytongue2:
