museofspeed: (Best friends)

Genshipping it, or Shana attempts to start an internet trend.

Shana: Do you ever look at your friends and think, "in the fanfiction of my life, we're about to have a threesome?"
Sara: haaaa!!
Sara: ...you know, sometimes.
Shana: It's even weirder to look at the people you dislike and think it.
Shana: This might be why I've stopped slashing as much as I used to.
Sara: what was it--oh, I think Zoe explained a fandom thing to her sister by saying "it'd be like you and Sara making out in front of me"
Shana: Aaaaaah, I love Zoe.
Sara: I have no idea what she was explaining, but it was hysterical
Sara: and yeah. I like slash, but I also really like friendship stuff and that happens far less
Shana: Yeah. And het.
Sara: yeees.
Sara: oh fandom
Shana: I want to just... write some epic friendship fics.
Shana: And I wish there was a term for gen shipping.
Sara: that would be awesome
Shana: Because I have so many awesome gen ships.
Sara: yeeeees, me too
Shana: Andrew/Anya, Spike/Dawn, Spike/Joyce, Kon/Tim, (though I like them shipped too, it's just overdone and that annoys me), Paco/Jaime, Cassie/Cissie, Dick/Tim.
Sara: yeeees. <3
Shana: ...I hereby declare that a double slash shall denote genshipping.
Sara: heee
Shana: I genship Andrew//Anya.
Sara: I like genshipping as a term.
Shana: This fic is Kon//Tim.
Sara: ::giggles::
Shana: I have the best ideas at 3 AM.
Sara: clearly!

This is the most brilliant idea to come out of fandom in the last year. :D Will start using and applying retroactively immediately!
