A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)
It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.
Okay. I think I need to clarify something since a couple of you are confused about shipping. Shipping is when you but together any semi-romantic coupling. Even if its in a case that would never work out.
Lemons are the gross ones.
Honestly I can stand shipping. In this thread the fact that its sort of an awkward comment isn't nearly as bad as the other people freaking out is funny. So I think this was worth it.
And piono and Twinbuilder?
Do you really think that would work out? Ever? The only person more irritated with piono than Twinbuilder is Doc Scratch, who, I suppose, is going to at some point be shipped with him because there was a conversation about it on the forge thread and that's just the way the internet works.
And you know, you probably shouldn't bring up all these joke shippings because for everyone you state you've just been doomed to be included in one just as horrible.
At the "request" of piono, I am now writing the first DocPiono ship fic.
WIP
As Piono walked up the steps to Doc Scratch's fixed tower, he wondered what this was about. The Second Godmodding War had ended months ago, yet it was only now that Doc Scratch had contacted any of the players again. And for Scratch to contact him of all the players, it must have been important. Before Piono could knock on the door, Doc Scratch opened it.
Piono asked, "I'm here. Now, what's this about?"
Doc Scratch replied, "Come in, come in. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Perhaps over dinner?"
"Uh, sure? I didn't realize you ate."
"I don't. But an excellent host always feeds his guests. And I am an excellent host."
"Sure you are..." Piono said sarcastically as he walked into Scratch's tower

I leave fseftr's broken boy on the ground.
I could tell where that was going.
I said shipping was okay. Not lemons.
I have an issue with lemons in general, even outside of fanfics.
And using one of my characters?
No. Just no.

I hadn't really planned it out, but I don't write lemons so there's no way it could've led to that.
But then again, I generally don't write much romance either.
Hmm, let me think about what I would write...
A nice candlelit dinner on Scratch's balcony.
An awkward confession from both sides, with Scratch going first.
And I'm not really sure what after that, because as I said, I don't really write much romance.
But no lemon.
If I was going to write a lemon, Doc Scratch would've answered the door in nothing but a... nevermind.
Besides, Scratch is "an immortal entity with a large cue ball for a head, and no biological means of reproduction."
You think that's going to stop people from doing such? I'm pretty sure (but I'm not going to look it up, I just... no. Just no. But some people are that nasty) that a lemon of Scratch exists somewhere.
But okay, I suppose your thing is okay. I retcon the thing I did into not killing you or painfully torturing you.
Hearing what you describe, it sort of bugs me because that's hugely out of character for both of them.
But I have to admit... Its kind of a funny idea. If nothing else it would make a great trollfic.

Well, I think a vast majority of ship fics about DTG would be at least a bit out of character. Because if you eliminated all the characters incapable of romantic relationships, that would cut out quite a few. And plus, I'm not willing to do character research for something that isn't even a real troll fic.
...Okay...just made an account (Base26), gonna try to write a troll fic now. Man, I'm gonna suck at writing troll fics. That's sad.

Okay guys! Wanna have a personal conversation with the maker of dtg in the flesh? Well, you can't. But you CAN have a pesterchum conversation! I'm totallyTenacious.
Are you throwing stuff in ships?
Could someone explain shipping to him, I'm too busy being dead.
(That and the need to sleep)
Yes, I agree on the need to sleep part. I will not anyways, so, Heh. 0-0
Shipping... oh geez, how do I explain this?

Fear is Freedom! Control is Liberty!
Contradiction is Truth! That is the reality of this world!

I'm warning you, this is more or less my first time on that website. It could take a while.
Oh, it just said there's a 12 hour delay before I can post anything. :P. Everyone, be aware that this is going to be a parody. Please don't kill me.
Also, on Pesterchum right now.
