Ah, no. Sorry, that's not what I'm getting at. Ack, you are talking about something else entirely! Obviously, I should not be allowed to post thinky thoughts while tired.
I'm talking about when fans (in general which could include me or you or anyone) take a pairing, imgained or subplot and elevate it to the main plot of the story. I'm not talking fanfic. I am talking about watching a TV show, for example, and coming away with that inverse.
I wonder why. I wonder what psychologically makes some fans do this. I've done it before. Other people have done it. What drives fans to sometimes make ship THE absolute end result?
This has nothing to do with ship vs slash or that romance is bad. I love romance. I'm just curious.
