I don't get it either. I have a fandom friend who's been around my flist since my last fandom, and it's interesting to watch her go from fandom to fandom. Because as she gains an interest in a new show she inevitably posts about having to 'wait and see if there's an OTP for her to ship'. She literally has to have an OTP in the most rigid sense of the words in order to really get into the show. And I've seen a similar thing among the big OTP'er's (both slash and het) on my flist.
And I mean, that's fine, but I really, really don't understand it. To me, any ship is just icing. I love writing about it fanfic, but my love of a show isn't contingent on it.
So, I'll be interested in seeing if you can come up with anything to help us both get it.
