Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Lisa, explained the whole shipping thing best. I honestly don't know who came up with it and for the longest time, I didn't know what in the world people were talking about. I still don't know some of the acronyms out there like OTP. What's OTP?

ok i get it now. Then i would ship Barney/Robin (How I met your mother), Booth/Bones (Bones) and Emily/Jack (Revenge)

I agree i feel like such an old person when i have to look up what acronyms mean. I just clearly live under a rock!

ZOMG! IT'S AMAZING!

And, the most evil George Lucas you can imagine!

OTP: One True Pairing

Also, if Dumbledore wasn't gay: Dumbledore/Luna

The word ship is short for relationship, ie. the romance between two (or more) characters. Since the shortened form is ship, there are a lot of nautical jokes - your ship can be sunk, for example, if your preferred romance is ruled out.

OTP = One True Pairing, your favourite ship.

OTP is One True Pairing. I'm kind of boring in that the I usually ship the main relationship of the books, but I like it that way.

ETA, too slow!

I thought the thing that sunk the Luna/Dumbledore would be the fact that he's deader than disco...

Oo! Thanks everyone! I have always wondered what OTP was. So it means One True Pairing. That makes sense. Being in the Glee fandom, they shoot that acronym around everywhere, but I just assume it has something to do with the pairing and leave it at that.

Like: "Rachel and Fin are my OTP!"
Me: "That's awesome. >.> -thinks: what's OTP?-"

I can dream...

I'm a diehard Castle/Beckett shipper from the TV show Castle.

I am a Vampire Diaries fan. I totally ship Bonnie/Damon though on IMDB, I'd totally get stoned if I were to come out with my dream pairing.

Okay I have to be missing something, because are we talking about Luna, the 17 year old, and Dumbledore, the guy who's older than Moses?

Please tell me I'm missing something?

Damon/Elena!!!

Also, Matt/Caroline!!

He's ONLY 168, Jeeze Margo.

I'm also a little confused by the shipping of the 150-year-old celibate, gay, dead character with his underage female student, but each to their own.

He was young once upon a time.

This one makes LOL ALL THE TIME: Drapple (Draco/Apple)

I'm a big TVD fan (the original four books, not the sequels, though I don't mind the tv show). Bonnie in the books is so adorable, while I really like Kat Graham, I wish they swapped the characters of Caroline and Bonnie around in the show.
I loved fandom back in the day.

Good gosh this thread is moving super fast today!!

Not because I am a Bamon fan, but I just can't get into Damon/Elena! I miss the old diabolical Damon. :< Elena would not have that at all. Granted, Bonnie would most likely burn him with her powers for killing someone, but Elena always needs to be saved!

Ivae: Kat Graham is definitely one of my favorite actresses. Though Bonnie doesn't get a lot of love in the fandom for the things she does. -sigh-

I was really about to ask the same thing... luna is the weird children of the corn blond girl right?

Yes, he was young once... when she wasn't alive.

Lol but as Para said so wisely, to each their own!

Sirius/Remus 4ever!

Now, I'm willing to YAWN.

Also, I'm having fun. Why? Cause in my book, our heroine gets to learn to fight with a sword...THAT IS ALSO A CHAINSAW!

NO.

Teddy/Victorie!!

I'm totally seeing Sirius/Remus. I used to love the Shoebox Project back in the day.
