The Great Shipping Fandom Poll...

[shadowkat]

I think this poll basically just proves how out of the fandom loop I currently am. But what the heck. With any luck more than five people will play. I decided to be radical and not pit Buffy/Angel vs. Buffy/Spike or Damon/Elena vs. Stefan/Elena. Because that's been done to death. I did however pit Katniss/Peeta vs. Katniss/Gale, but also pitted them against Crichton/Aeryn - who I think fits in the Friends to Romance category, not the bantering our way to tru love category. One of the phrases I used in the poll is from a Florence and the Machine Song - guess which one?

I don't know ships other than ocean liners, freighters, tankers, and battleships. So I didn't vote. But I did notice Harry Potter and Ginny under "just friends leads to romance." Actually I felt almost from the second book on that Rowling purposely avoided having them ever be friends as opposed to Hermione and Ron who were friends, even if in an arms length kind of way in the early years. Harry and Ginny weren't much more friends than say Percy and Harry were. Ginny always seemed determined to marry Harry, though they barely spoke a word to each other for many years. So for a not-much-help comment, I'd probably list them under "one tru love" romance even though they wouldn't have a prayer of winning.

I admittedly can't remember. You're most likely right. Probably should have put them under category one - which would have given the people who hate category one someone to vote for, which apparently is 90% of the people who voted.
