I don't understand, and have real issues with, fanfics and 'otps' where the characters have had NO on screen/page interaction. How can you ship a couple you haven't seen look at each other even once? Its just simply based on 'I think both of these are hot' but there is no chemistry, no interaction NOTHING. It means when you read the fics or whatever neither of them are in character because its impossible to figure out how they would interact in an AU or non canon situation when you have NO idea how they react to each other in the manga/tvshow/film.
I don't mind people sometimes strapping their shipping goggles on and seeing romance where there is no romance (aka most ships) or seeing it in an untypical couple - I'm thinking of something like people liking Gaara/Lee - they've had interaction, they've fought together etc. Hell I may be alone in thinking there is some interest between Agron and Caesar from Spartacus - BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO EACH OTHER. Urgghhh it annoys me and I'm not fully sure why, I just think GOD PEOPLE why do you make up a couple based entirely on I like them both even though they have never once looked at each other.
