Rule #1: If it breathes, there's a ship for it. Even for the animals and monsters.

Rule #2: If it doesn't breathe, it is shipped with something that does (typically androids are here, but weapons can fall into this category as well).

Rule #3: All ships recieve a fanfic or picture to commemorate them within a month of someone inventing it.

Rule #4: If they (the characters) are dorm/roomates, they are immediately shipped, regardless of gender or canonical sexual orientation thanks to Rule #5.

Rule #5: Doesn't matter what canon says, everyone is bisexual according to the community. Everyone.

And finally, Rule #6: You're ship may be the Supreme Master Mother-of-All-that-is-Good-and-Holy Greatest Ship of All Time, but you don't have to say that all the others suck. Although it may be true, people hate being reminded that their ship is vastly inferior to yours, so you need to treat their opinions respectfully. Their puny minds couldn't handle the awesomeness that is your OTP anyways.

Study and memorize these basic rules of Shipping, there will be a quiz at the end of the week. Class Dismissed.

Oh, you don't have to accept other's opinions, just don't be an asshole about it. I still refuse to accept that certain ships exist, but I'm not gonna bash them beyond a simple "I don't see that happening" coment. It's rude and uncivilized to go any farther. I understand. I disagree with Romanx anyone other than Neo or Cinder, but I'm not going to go around telling someone they're this or that and ranting like I'm that guy on Angry Nerds. I just say "I understand you have a thing for Roman x Ruby, but respectfully, I don't, and I hope you can accept that".

And on another note, Rule 1 must explain Blake/Zwei these days. I really want to find that, just to see what it's about.
