When the ship hits the fan.

Although I'm also fond of Randy-9 Guy.

[Reply #761 on:]

#9 Guy is clearly asexual, stum.

[Reply #762 on:]

Yeah... but not in my fics.

[Reply #763 on:]

Ahem, your fics.

[Reply #764 on:]

Do you have a fic where he meets #6 guy?

[Reply #765 on:]

Whoever has locking powers needs to do so so we can make a new thread!

[Reply #766 on:]

I vote we call the next thread "No ship, Sherlock."

[Reply #767 on:]

"Ship Happens," perhaps?

[Reply #768 on:]

"This thread is full of ship"?

"This thread is full of ship"?

Holy ship, I think we have a winner!

[Reply #770 on:]

Do we even need a shipping thread anymore? What's the point, with the series over?

[Reply #771 on:]

The series may be over, but it will live in our hearts forever.

You realise that comment could apply to every single on-topic thread, right?

[Reply #773 on:]

Oh hi Beanoz. Haven't seen you for a while.

And I'm sure there'll be enough ship discussion to justify a new thread. I'm pretty sure the shipping thread series lived through the first cancellation.

I know, it's been too long.

But threads like "Favourite episode" or "Least favourite episode" can still apply even with the series over. This thread seems to be dedicated purely to discussing shippy moments in recent episodes or predicting whether there will be shippy moments in upcoming episodes. You can't do that anymore.

Upcoming episodes, no, but discussing moments in the episodes we have, yes. The series may be over, but there might be new PEELers who have discovered the show for the first time, are somehow moved by the various established shippy moments, and wish to discuss them in just this sort of thread. Also, as can be seen by the posts that are already in this thread and others before it, there is no end to people still being moved by the show's shippy moments, nor is there end to people debating, for example, whether the shippy moments of Fry and Leela in particular are sweet and convincing or forced and troubling (are they clearly in love and meant for each other in the most squee-worthy way imaginable, or are Fry's gestures of love just overdramatic and overemotional gestures to a callous and uncaring Leela?). With no new episodes, the same moments and arguments may be brought up again and again, but clearly there are people who care enough to want to discuss it, and it seems like a perfectly worthy thread topic for a show that definitely has running threads of its own--romantic ones, that is.

Also, this:

Fanfic can never be cancelled, except in our hearts.
