All Ship War Ads are being removed for the following reasons:
1. No permission was previously asked
2. We've received multiple complains about these ads
3. They tend to lead to wank.
You can still advertise in reply to THIS post. I'm adding a tag so people can find it.

But then, I was in SV fandom way back in the day, when the Clark/lex, Clark/Lana, and Chloe/Clark fans used to get embroiled in stupid fannish politics that soured a lot of folks on the fandom and show completely. So I can understand completely why folks would see the words "'ship wars" and back away slowly.
Basically, I'm supporting anything that a) generates more fanworks for my fave characters and b) gets fans to wander outside their comfort zone and explore the outer-reaches of the fandom for a bit, cos it might result in gaining new fans and folks finding fanworks they really enjoy, which they might have skipped over previously because it wasn't "their 'ship".

For many, ship wars don't generate content, but resentment. The words themselves have negative implications.
