Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

cynicalshadows  has a post on shipping that is pretty much made of sheerest word and describes what makes me ship a couple like crazy as well. In brief:

1. ) Opposites attract. (For more on what I mean when I say that, read Jennifer Crusie's essay 'What I Learned From TV.' Her site is down so I can't link at the moment. I ♥ you, Jennifer Crusie!)

2.) Forbidden Fruit.

3.) Stronger Together.

I do beg to differ on the POV that only doomed relationships are interesting.

I wouldn't say that only doomed relationships are interesting, but I would say that what makes a fictional relationship interesting is not what makes a real life relationship interesting.


*sigh*

I feel like I say that every single time opposites attract or enemy shipping or slap slap kiss comes up on my lj.

Sorry about that. ♥

It's okay. I totally understand the impulse. I just think that, often (in Western Culture/American Culture especially) we don't assume that people understand the difference between reality and fantasy.

Witness so many Christian's flipping out over Harry Potter.
