Stargate Character Appreciation Thread ( Spoilers for all seasons SG1/SGA)
Hi guys,
i new at this game, and was just wondering what is with a Shipper? what are they? You can all laugh at me i don't mind
No need to laugh. A shipper is a fan of a particular relationship (focus on romance) between two characters. For instance, you got shippers for Sheppard/Weir, or McKay/Weir, or Sheppard/Teyla, or Teyla/Ronon. They usually emphasize their 'ship' of choice. The term 'ship' is actually a fandom thing (from fanfics) that simply took 'relationships' and shortened it.
You can usually tell the shippers from everybody else. For instance, if my sig is somehow too subtle for anyone to comprehend , I'm a S/W shipper.
Wanna sig? Ask me. I'll probably make you one.
I would also like it noted that in The Long Goodbye,
Spoiler:
Weir asked John to be her husband, and he said yes!! HA!!! LOL!
Seeing Weir and Sheppard get "closer" would be awesome. Even if it only happened once. You can tell they like one another. They should stop fighting it.

Stop it Whistler84....we know who you really ship for.....just kidding....
Anyhow...I am not much of a *cough* shipper *cough* but if I had to really, really, really, choose....ah, chucks...I won't tell you...you aren't going to get it out of me...You are just going to have to guess....
And I think the word "ship" itself comes from the word relationship...AHHHHHHHH....Darn it, I'm good!
