ST Shipping Episode 7 predictions

ack, no! It's been around for a looooong time. Way back in the 90s I found out about this corner of the world...shipping and slash and Mary Sues... The ones that make me o_0 are the AU ones. So, like I suck at summaries, but Leia is a cheerleader in Alderaan High and Han is a transfer student from Corellia and he won't try out for the football team and just wants to smoke behind the gym but he's really hot. And she likes his car. Will they get together?

um... why?

 

It's not a new term at all, been around for at least 12 years, because I personally remember using it before I went to college. Like I said, it's probably more applied to fanfic, but I have seen it used that way not related to fanfic.
On wikipedia it says it can be dated to around the early 1990's.

Edit: Pretty much what Millennium Fairlane said

 

I'm dragging it out of the mists of prehistory, but the first time I ever remember hearing it was X-Files. If you imagined Mulder and Scully together, you were a "shipper" ... someone had to explain it to me.

 

I wonder if that is the Big Bang of Shipping.

 

I get it, I get it. It's some old, hipster catchphrase.

 

mmm. I am rolling around my new identity as an old hipster in my head, seeing how it fits... I am shipping MF and hipster-hood... does it come with a duster?

 

But wouldn't the hipster thing be to disclaim shipping, since it has become more popular?

 

How about this:

Shortly after ROTJ, Han leaves Leia to marry Mon Mothma. Mon dies a year later on a re-con mission. He sulks for while, then gets together with Rose
Leia, miffed at Han, marries Admiral Ackbar. They have two kids, who they name Itsa and Trapa.
Meanwhile, Luke goes into solitude for a while, then happens upon Rey and, impressed by her, begins training her. Just as he starts feeling romantic interest in her, he realizes that they are cousins. She is the grand-daughter of Padme's sister, Padtai

 

Hilarious! There's a place for you. (please, write it 'M')

 

Luke and Rey.

 

That's vile.......

 

??????????

HMMMM

Nope

 

Oh dear, what have I started? That's it, Rey is a Jedi nun, who knows no man. But hey, had to throw in a little awkward Luke moment there.

 

Many bothans died after bringing Leia this information.
