I have some thoughts about shipping
Apr. 11th, 2010 06:37 pmI've been writing this in bits and pieces over the last few days, and I've finally plugged in all the pieces, I think. It's not as thoughtful or well-constructed as I wish it was, but I'm going to throw this out there.
And no, this doesn't really have anything to do with the current flare-ups here in Buffy fandom that seem like they might explode into shipping wars at any moment. This is less an examination of one ship versus another and more a series of thoughts about shippers versus everyone else. Just as a disclaimer. Your ship will not be bashed within, no matter what it is.
