Shipper: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

Gay or lesbian shippers written about same-sex character pairs are called [[slash]] fiction or "slashfic," for the slash mark separating the names of the two lovers when referring to such tales. Daria/Jane is probably the most common form of slash in ''Daria'' fandom. Further discussion of slash fanfic appears under that heading; the remainder of this article discusses only heterosexual match-ups.

[[Tired Daria Fandom Tropes]] contains a detailed overview on the history of and problems associated with writing any new Daria/Trent shipperfics, which many in fandom feel is a trend that has run its course. Even the show's creators (see below) felt any realistic pairing of the two was not possible for long, if at all. Daria/Tom shipping is handicapped by the troubled circumstances under which the relationship began, though [[alternate-history]] and [[post-canon]] story writers have figured out ways around that. Daria/[[Ted DeWitt/Clinton|Ted]] shipping is intriguing in post-canon writing, though the Daria/[[Luhrman]] combination has been little explored, despite [[Glenn Eichler]]'s interest in same.
