Day 21 - Favorite ship
The Golden Hind?
Look, if I want a couple to get together on a show, I write the fanfiction.
CLex. That one really should have happened onscreen.
I liked Marco/Diana. I think Vincent/Catherine could have shown more than CBS allowed, but relationships that are canon are great and relationships that aren't can still sail in transformative works.

riverfox's answer to this, there seems to be an implication that not all relationships are considered equal for this question. Most of my slash relationships (Jack/Daniel or the Petrellis) are such that I would have been appalled if they became canon -- working together in a military setting for Jack/Daniel and they're brothers, for heaven's sake, for the Petrellis. This doesn't mean that I think the term 'ship is exclusively held by hetero couples. And for the record, I was equally appalled when it was implied that Jack/Samantha was canon. It's wrong for exactly the same reasons as Jack/Daniel with an extra fillip of superior and subordinate for that extra ickiness.

It's funny, but when Queer As Folk and The L Word came around, and other shows where there were gay and lesbian relationships, suddenly "ship" was no longer meant to describe a hetero relationship. So I have to revise my viewpoint. ;)
