Where did it all start?
I was listening to "Don't let me down" from the Across the universe soundtrack when it reminded me of an old story that I read in highschool and while for the life of me, I cannot remember the particulars, a young adult romance/drama - the part that came to mind was the fact that I shipped the lead girl with the non canon guy, the guy's bestfriend, even though it was completely obvious, she would end up with the guy I viewed as an asshole.
I wonder where this tendency to prefer non canon couples came from?
As I chose my icon, it also made me think, I preferred Jem/Riot, then again I did like Jem/Rio, Jerrica was boring, ok, this is probably where my harem tendencies came from. I like to think that she probably could have gotten away with both. XD (By the last episode she hadn't exactly discouraged Riot), I didn't like Kimber much and used to want her boys to like Jem too.
Heehee, shipping is fun when you don't have everyone disagreeing and arguing with you about the possibilities of said ship. Although...I think its harder when you're sure your ship is the one and others disagree, at least with my absurd and unlikely ships, I never had much hope (only a tiny wee flicker).
I now have a desire to flick through all my really old ships. I may not be crazed about them (I probably never was), but at least I'm sure I still like them all.
