On Shipping

There's a very interesting post here about the lenses that we view shows through, particularly in pairing terms. As a multishipper I come in at the opposite end of the spectrum to gabrielleabelle, but the concept still explains me very well

I agree with pretty much every word in this post.

Hee! Coming from the creator of Buffyverse1000 and the author of Dawn/Cheeseman, aka The Greatest UC Pairing Ever Written, this doesn't surprise me one bit :-)

:D lasultrix asked me at connotations if there was any Buffyverse pairing I couldn't imagine writing or reading. I couldn't come up with anything. Some people are just built to multiship.

Some might be *trickier* than others -- say Maggie Walsh/Harmony, to pick a random example -- but honestly, I think there's always a way.

And yes, I would totally click on a Maggie Walsh/Harmony fic if I saw one :-)

And now I think about it, if you have an AU S4 where Harmony is captured and chipped instead of Spike, that practically writes itself...
