So, not ship as in nuclear wessle, not ship as in mailing, yes shipping as in "relationship" shipping :D for the contest at ~ship-4-ever Wow, I'm such a pathetic shipper. The contest is for "what shipping means to you" lol, sounds very philosophical. Anyway, my first thoughts were to do a series of pictures of me watching TV and my comments about the ships, like how I was actually a Draco/Hermione shipper at first (for about the first 50 mins of watching Chamber of Secrets) then I got to the end with that awkward moment between Ron and Hermione... and yeah, well, R/Hr is the only reason I read the books I'm so pathetic!

Moral of the story: I like couples that fight. My dream ships turn into classic old married couples :P

Han/Leia - A classic couple :) a scene from V: empire strikes back. (get together in VI)
Mal/Inara - this actually isn't my favorite couple in Firefly, probably tied with Wash/Zoe, my fav couple would be Kaylee/Simon, but they fall more under the George/Lorraine kind of ship instead of fighting ships. (I consider this ship cannon)
Ron/Hermione - Dialog based on a scene in book 5 but I don't remember it exactly (cannon, that's all I'll say)
Madmartigan/Sorsha - There's isn't a better ship than the kind that try to kill each other ^^ (get together at end of movie)
Tom/B'Elanna - Still my all time favorite star trek ship :D (get married in season 7)
Darcy/Elizabeth - Fighting couple in classic literature. I don't know which one I tried to depict here, not really one particular movie, but I haven't watched a version of the story I didn't like, even if they varied from the book, they're all good :aww: (even the LDS one, that one was ridiculous, but still good) (marry at end of book)
McKay/Weir - My current ship of focus... this scene was from trinity, but the fighting they do that I really like is the banter, like in Rising, Childhood's End and Sanctuary :D (Don't get together... because... :cries:)
MacBeth/Demona - My first ship! well, the first one I went crazy over, that's for sure. This is the only one of the couples I drew that isn't a scene in the show, but is an exaggeration of the episode "Sanctuary" hehe. (they don't get together... but I'm still holding out for the comics ;) )

If you notice, I almost always ship with Cannon. Granted Firefly, harry potter, and stargate are not finished fandoms, so you can't really call those relationships cannon, but to me, unless they're shot down, I'm not shipping against cannon. The only one I really ship against cannon with is Demona/MacBeth, hehe :D

EDIT
Added the three ships at the bottom -
Benedick/Beatrice - from Shakespeare's "Much ado about Nothing", I love that play, it's a lot of fun! And I wanted to depict another classic literature pairing :) They're depicted like the Keneth Branaugh and Emma Thompson movie (I really recommend it, come on, Denzel Washington playing matchmaker, Keanu Reeves as a crazy bad guy and Michael Keaton as the wakey police guy...)
Ralphie/Keesha - anyone who watches me knows I'm on a Magic School Bus kick right now, and I think these two fight more than DA/Carlos, lol, but they would have fit here too, just right now R/K is my fav MSB pairing. (not cannon except that they're always paired off together).
Atton/Briana (handmaiden) - the video game Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: Sith Lords... These two are definitely NOT cannon, but the interaction between these two was definitely the best thing about playing a male exile, lol!

Edit Nov 2009: Re-did Tom/B'Elanna. Chose a different episode: Macrocosm.

Hehe...that is funny.

Truly there is no greater sign of love than two people yelling at each other (that's why these slashers always pair up mortal enemies)

Bonus points for my three favs: Han/Leia, Darcy/Elizabeth, and Macbeth/Demona

When Toph punches Aang, it's called chemistry; when Mai teases Zuko, it's called insensitivity.
