..........Ships 👫🏻 👬🏻 👭🏻

[Lilmonstart]

So Random question because theres nothing in my brain left lmao
As you see in the tittle what do you think of ships as a creator the ones your readers could possibly make?

In my case I have no problem I´m actually curious of what possible ships people could make in my story lmao because must of them could not be canon so it´s fine with me unless I find them weird
but I can´t stop people of shipping whatever they like (I mean...there are alot of random and weird ships on the internet and most could be just a joke)

But anyways....are you fine with ships in your story or does it bother you?

This is the most random thread I´ve ever done

[aqua03]

Oh yeah I love ships in my stories. The more out there, the better. Like this one, for example:

[allenT]

Ships are fine.
But as creator I don't join in the fun for my own series (I can make the toys but not to play them myself). It's a stuff for fans.

[TheLemmaLlama]

You know you've made it as a writer when people do crack ships of your characters (Character x Inanimate Object, Character x Abstract Concept etc :D)

[Kuma]

So far I haven't heard of any ships my readers have about characters. I think I'm going to do a "Popularity Poll" for my 50th chapter and find out.

I'm open to all interpretations of my work.

[JaveCraze]

i fear that there will be quite a few... but there's only one canon ship. I will not interfere, I will pretend I do not see any of it.

[stiatent]

@aqua03 XD nice ship

@Lilmonstart similar to you I'm also curious and excited to see what readers come up with, especially the ones I may not have even initially thought of.
Yea I'm fine with it, to me the stories we tell is already a sharing experience and it's the followers way of finding something personal that keeps them connected & in turn they appreciate your works even more. If it's one that sounds authentic to the story/character personality I may even tease some
Once there is no harm to RL people, I'm cool

I'm new to comic creation, so everything's been a 1st,
Thought it was interesting that people were also liking the main characters' mom even though she appeared in one scene (unknown to them she is a major character further in, there's a Horror element so been trying to keep most of the cast suspicious in the early chapters). While it did make me happy, it also made me open to perspectives I may not have thought of during the time of making the chapters. Won't be surprised she get's shipped later on too XD

[aqua03]

Thank you. Ultraman Tiga had soem great ships I feel.

[stiatent]

Ultraman Tiga has a great Ship then Imagine a Ship riding that ship XD

[aqua03]

I think one actually does in that show.... Or at least that ship deploys from an even bigger ship. It's been a while since I watched Tiga.

[NickRowler]

I honestly do not care if people want to ship my characters. Most of my characters are bisexual as a default so it's not going to really offend me or anything. I also follow some fandoms where people post their ship art and even if I personally wouldn't ship those characters, if it's cute, I will give the artist a like.

I think I am more concerned about fans who bully creators over headcanons. Please don't do that.

[TheSingularitySeed]

@TheLemmaLlama
Success is not measured in fame or fortune but in crackfics on Wattpad

I find shipping culture really fascinating and I often do wonder what will read as chemistry to an audience. Or what brings people to ship a character with another version of that same character.

So yeah I welcome ships. Shippers can analyze the story while I analyze the shippers.

[Christy_Oshima]

Ships are more than jsut welcome. Yes, i write stories with certain couples, yes to my mind some of them don't match BUT! Since i can sail away with my own ships, then my readers to have every right to do that as well. Ship away my friends!

[darthmongoose]

I'm fine with my readers shipping characters! ...Though I feel bad for the people who are shipping characters I know for certain won't get together!

There are definitely some character pairings that come up in the comments section that feel weird to me, like Rekki/Jules, which feels odd because when writing them I think of it as more of a sibling-like dynamic... but it's like... well, they're not actually related or even adopted siblings, so it's not like they're shipping Rekki with her actual sister (which is... no. Please do not ship Rekki with her sister). I draw the line at ships where the characters are siblings, and I'm not keen on ones where one of the characters is under eighteen and the other is 20+

That said, some people have already been catching hints of the actual canon ships now and seem excited for them so.... fingers crossed they like the canon ones enough to be happy!?

[liaroger]

I have a very cool ship in my story. She's made of driftwood, repairs herself and runs on wind, water, magic and solar power. You can even charge your phone on her.

That aside, I don't mind ships. I have a few partnering aspec characters, including fully aromantic ones in queerplatonic/undefined relationships, and I'm a little worried about shippers being bothered by that and commenting aphobic shit in an attempt to allo-ify them and force a romantic I label or because they think that if it looks like romance to them it might as well be called romance because their standards are the norm and why not force them on everyone. Then again the characters HAVE a relationship, just not an entirely conventional one, their dynamic is THERE to be enjoyed. Just in their own way. So I hope that'll be enough.

[Freemints30]

Honestly I write a story with only one end game canon ship

But honestly I dont care if you want to ship X with Y. Honestly I encourage it. My cast are all grown ass adults any way. So ship away in any dynamic you want.

I will even tease a few non canon ones. All I care about is if you dont bother the creator or anyone else for it.

Technically there's one I doubt anyone would ship mostly due to it being written so intimate yet platonic (borders on a queer platonic relationship) I would be surprised anyone actually does. I'll laugh thou and find it funny

[liaroger]

Ah but what if I ship them queerplatonically?

Tbh I don't even know the difference between romantic and queerplatonic shipping because romance is just bbhaggazwlöwöflsknapwodjfnepaofnr to me. I don't ship monogamously or with labels anyway.

[Freemints30]

Honestly ship away if you want in that kind of relationship. . it would be fun to read and see art about

I get that. Honestly when I do romance I tend to think of a really strong bond first between two people (be it negative or postive) then I can head down that rotue of romance. So immortal undying hatred is my new favorite route XD

Poly and without labels are life honestly. Love to see it

[Lady_T_Musings]

Mix and Match them boo!

Shoot I can see myself shipping characters that won't actually be together in my own work, and narritively wouldn't make a lot of sense to just squeeze in the main story, but like on the side... it's the wild wild west of winky face emojis hahaha.

[Lilmonstart]

Once there is no harm to RL people, I'm cool

Ooh yeah ships are funny but kinda scary in that aspect

sometimes when I´m working on some character interaction scenes like most people I´m like " I hope they don´t ship these two" and at the same time I´m curious and I wanna see people´s random ships xD
