As Defined by Urban Dictionay;
"The term "shipper" comes from supporting a ship. To ship something means a person wants two characters to get together and/or shows support for two characters already together. The term "ship" came from the X-Files fandom, when fanfics were written about Mulder and Scully. The fans then called themselves shippers. It quickly spread and is now the title a person gives themself if they believe two charcters should or will be together (The characters can be from anything: Books, Movies, Television, Video Games, and even Actors/Actresses). It is not limited to the couple actually happening, a person can ship something just because they enjoy the possibility of them getting together or even just because they think they would look good together."
I saw the term when I was reading Entertainment Weekly about the Vampire Diaries and I turned to my husband and informed that I am apparently a Shipper.
Some of my favorite Couples that I am in support of.....
Harry/Ginny from Harry Potter
Meghan/Ash from The Iron Fey
Tessa/Will from The Infernal Devices
Clary/Jace from The Mortal Instruments
Zsadist/Bella from The Black Dagger Brotherhood
Those are just a few of my favorites. I'm sure I could have a ten page list.
Who are some of your favorite fictional couples??
