Ship = relationship. So shipping is the belief that a certain pair (or more...) of characters should have a relationship.
I reckon all shippers are delusional.

I heartily agree with what you said unless it makes me any enemies or is negative towards myself in anyway.

Most shippers are wacked up.

wrote:'ship also ship - One of the weirder terms in any fandom. The term "ship" originated in X-files fandom, where it was used to describe fanfic about a romantic relationship between Mulder and Scully. Soon, people who supported this "ship" were calling themselves "shippers." These terms found their way to Harry Potter fandom, so someone who thought Ron & Hermione were meant for each other would call themselves a "R/H shipper." But it didn't stop there - people began forming clubs, using a metaphor of ships moving on the sea. Each has gained a strange and wonderful name, so the Ginny/Tom is called "The HMS Gin n' Tonic" and the Harry/Hermione club is called "The HMS Pumpkin Pie." More information on ships can be found on the Park at SCUSA.
One of the more popular ships on the forum is John Mandrake/Jane Farrer. We even have our own smilie :j/j: Join today and make it even more popular!!

Luciene, no corrupting newbies. Wait until they, *ahem* "adjust".
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

"Popular" here means "has about one more person supporting it than any others", ie, "has one person supporting it".

What? No rampant ship war breaking out? The topic looked promising...

Beware, shippers often defend ships they support to the last breath. Well, I did. Meh. Bad flamers.

Is there any way to tell what ship someone is in apart from by memory?

No and you need to be careful about that unless you want them to go on and on and on about how great their ship is.

Shippers also tend to ignore anything "canon".

Canon: Def: A controversial piece of information (usually character pairings) conferrmed by the author or authority figure in charge of the selected piece of media.

Fanon: Def: NOT confirmed, speculation, or delusion.

Techinically, that's not really true. In HP-verse, Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny and one of the biggest ships. And here, N/K or Dial Up Sucks/Death is more popular (but less loved)
