Today's discussion: 'ship jumping (all flavours - het, slash, OTP, OT3 and anything else that is shipped that I've forgotten about)


[Unexpectedly jump ships (Fanfic flamingo) “Damn my fickle heart!”]


Do you ever do this? Do you find it easy or hard to get back to the 'ship you abandoned?

I think I just add ships. :D While the older one may get pushed to back burner for a bit while I go and read ALL THE NEW PAIRING, RIGHT NOW, eventually they balance out again. (Mostly. Some new acquisitions never really take off, they just hover round the edges of the crowd.)

Edit: Oooh, and I wrote today! Just a handful of paragraphs, but that's still better than the last few days! And I also did some editing, and (for the "Other" tickybox) replied to my beta.

I almost never drop ships completely. I just tend to add more. And more. And why not make it a threesome/moresome for good measure. (For example: I go into a fandom shipping A/B. But it turns out that A/C is also fun! As is C/D. And oh-my-god A/D femmeslash would be amazing. Let's try A/C/D threesome fic!)

So while I might end up not looking into a ship for a while, it's usually more that I'm distracted than that I no longer like that ship.

I tend to jump ships -- or rather, to get caught up in a new ship and have the "old" ship move to the back burner for a while, until I have the creative energy to return to it again.

I can't think of a single ship I've had that I couldn't go back to at some point. :)

Heh, it's the same for me -- short of a massive Heel Face Turn on the part of one character, rendering them no longer of interest or no longer feasible match for the other character, I just don't drop my pairings!

Sometimes I discover a new one, and the rest get bumped out of sight for a while, but they always come back!

Been a tough day but I did manage to get some of the ideas floating about for my minerva fest fic written down so it should be easier to plan out.

From: [personal profile] jade1459
I don't think I've ever had that problem before. I tend to have a "little black dress" character in most fandoms who I can and will ship with just about anyone. I have very few OTPs but when I do settle on one pairing for a fandom I don't have a problem branching out to view or explore other options (I'm kinda of the mentality of not knocking something until I've tried it in one shape or another)

So, I finally hit a huge snag yesterday. In the process of working out what happens in Chapter 8, I realized that all of the planning I've done plot-wise for chapters 9 and 10 is no longer valid, due to some characterization changes. So, basically, the ENTIRE ENDING of this enormous fic is now up in the air. *flail*

I had a few people talking me off the ledge, but I am still pretty wigged and uncertain. Grar.

Re: shipping. I'm very new to this. I have precisely one ship right now (John/Sherlock), with MAYBE a hint of a second one in Molly/Greg. So... it'll be interesting to see where I go from here.
