It feels like semantics. It means that not only are they your favorite ship, they are the only pairing you ship amongst those characters.
But not all ships are OTPs. If you multiship within a particular piece of canon film, tv, books, etc , then you have multiple ships within that canon, of a myriad of character combinations.
But if you have an OTP within that particular piece of canon, you do not ship those two characters with anyone else, as the only relationship you feel particularly passionate about is that one. I have many friends who do this very thing.
It means, in the case of Arrow, you might ship Oliver with Felicity but you also ship Oliver with Sara. Or with the new girl, Dinah. You might also ship Felicity and Ray or Felicity and Barry. For instance, in the third season of the BBC's Sherlock, John Watson was rescued from a bonfire in a cheeky reference to the fanon meme depicting Martin Freeman, who plays Watson, as a hedgehog. Hedgehogs often curl up in the piles of wood assembled for bonfires on Guy Fawkes Day in England.
Headcanon: A sub-branch of "fanon" is actually called "headcanon. Shipping: Perhaps the single most popular fandom activity, shipping involves fans rooting for two characters — or two real-life people, if your fandom is reality-based — to get together romantically.
If you ship a pair of characters, they become a ship and you become a shipper. Often the shippers behind different ships fight for dominance within a fandom; these are called ship wars. OT3, OT4, etc. Fanfiction: Fanfiction — or fanfic or fic , but never "fan fiction"; the two-word construction is considered incorrect — is fiction written about a previously existing work, or a previously existing source of some kind.
This previously existing source can be virtually anything, including reality; there's a whole subgenre of fanfic called RPF , short for "real person fiction," or fanfiction about real people. Fanfiction exists about everything from commercials to inanimate objects to real world history. Fanfiction is also as old as civilization itself , and, contrary to popular belief, it's not illegal.
It's generally considered to be fair use under US copyright law, in that it qualifies as a "transformative" work based off the original source material. Fanfiction is a collective noun, so you say "works of fanfiction," not "fanfictions. Fanworks: Fanworks are stuff you make in honor of a canon; how you define "stuff" and "make" is largely up to you. Common types of fanworks include things like fan art and fan vids exactly like fanfic but with pictures and videos , meta serious discussion about canon or about fandom itself , cosplay dressing in costume as a fictional character , fan comics, fan films, podfics recordings of fanfiction made by other fans , filk fannish song parodies , fan theories, and everything from fannish sewing patterns to fannish tattoos.
In short, it's just about anything you can think of making to support, defend, expand upon, discuss, or celebrate your fandom. TPTB : A fandom abbreviation for "the powers that be. The use of this term is waning in modern fandom in favor of "creators," "showrunners," etc.
The term has the side effect of reminding fans that ultimately, creators have power over canonical material and, to some extent, over fandom itself. BNF : big-name fan. This term dates from old-school sci-fi fandom and refers to a "famous" fan or a fan who is more or less at the center of fandom culture.
For instance, before she became a major best-seller, The Shadowhunters author Cassandra Clare was considered to be the most famous fanfiction author in the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fandoms. Het fanfic is "het fic. Many fans believe slash is a subversive response to heteronormative canons, which rarely allow for the possibility that main characters can be queer.
But a growing number of fans maintain that the tendency of slashers to fixate on mostly white male characters makes slash a deeply problematic and regressive genre. Slash is a huge part of modern fandom culture. As of Tumblr's last statistical analysis on the subject, it's pretty clear that the vast majority of pairings being shipped in fandom tend to be slash pairings.
However, the major het ships in fandom, like Arrow 's Olicity, seem to have more shippers in other locations on the internet — not just Tumblr, which is generally considered to be the contemporary hub of fandom online. Femslashers generally want to be considered separately from "slash" in discussions of fandom because their ships are often quite different. Femslash has historically accounted for the smallest portion of fandom, but recently femslash pairings have surged in popularity thanks to major canonical queer ships like Korrasami for the TV show The Legend of Korra and Clexa for the TV show The , and non-canonical but still popular ones like Swanqueen within the fandom for the TV show Once Upon a Time.
Gen or genfic: Short for "general," genfic is what you get when your story isn't primarily concerned with romance. You can also be a "gen shipper," which paradoxically means you don't ship anyone in particular. Because of the issues involved in speculating on someone's real sexual identity, RPS can sometimes can get a bit thorny , to put it mildly.
Fan archives There are countless fanfiction archives in existence, like the massive wealth of fic at sites like AsianFanfics , innumerable tiny forums for individual fandoms, and blog sites like LiveJournal, Tumblr, and Dreamwidth. Currently, there are three especially predominant archives: FF. Fandoms often consist of message boards, livejournal communities, roleplaying, people and much more.
