Comment on this entry with a pairing I ship from one of my fandoms and I will tell you:
1. When I started shipping them
2. What I think their challenge is
3. What makes me happy about them
4. What makes me sad about them
5. What moment I wish had never happened
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
7. My happily ever after for them
It occurs to me that, since I rarely talk about any other fandoms, you probably don't KNOW what pairings I ship. (And, to be fair, with the exception of Veronica/Logan, I don't think there's any pairing that comes even close to the crazy fangirling that Spuffy inspires.) I don't really want to list them all out here, so how about I list the fandoms, and if you don't know which pairings I like in that fandom, ask and I'll tell you, then you pick one. Is that too complicated, lol?

1. When I started shipping them - Pretty much as soon as Matt started showing an interest in her. Julie reminds me a lot of myself at that age, and Matt is totally the guy I wish I'd dated in high school.
2. What I think their challenge is - Nobody ever wants to stay with their first high school boyfriend. You grow up and you grow apart, or you think you can do better - but you know what? When you're dating Matt Saracen, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T. HE IS AWESOME.
3. What makes me happy about them - Cutest. Couple. Ever. They are almost enough to overcome my intense cynicism about love and relationships. Also, I love how Coach became a father figure to Matt, and then there was that awkwardness of "I think of you as a son, but you're dating my daughter, so I'm gonna have to intimidate you." (Best scene ever: Matt and Coach in the backyard after he and Julie had sex.)
4. What makes me sad about them - That I know it won't last. I haven't seen Season 4 yet, so I don't know if Matt stays in Dillon or not, but you can kind of just tell, you know? They're so innocent and sweet, and you just can't stay that way once you grow up.
5. What moment I wish had never happened - Um, all of season 2.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other - Julie with Tim, since that's my other ship, which I love for completely different and yet kind of the same reasons - I have a type and Tim is it, lol (see also: Spike, Logan Echolls), but Coach/Tim is the same sort of father/son dynamic as Matt. Plus, they were so cute when Riggins was living with the Taylors. Matt with... I don't know, I don't ship him with anyone else on the show, and it is an extreme understatement to say that I was not fond of any of his other choices in women. He just deserves a nice girl.
7. My happily ever after for them - Married and living somewhere other than Dillon.

AMEN.
They are ridiculously cute and happy and Coach just makes it so much better.
don't know, I don't ship him with anyone else on the show, and it is an extreme understatement to say that I was not fond of any of his other choices in women. He just deserves a nice girl.
Again, I agree completely.
Married and living somewhere other than Dillon. That's a lovely thought. *wistful sigh* They be Coach and Mrs. Coach 2.0!

YES! You should. I thought S3 was a lot better than S2. They abandoned the soap opera type plots and went back to the more realistic tone that made S1 great. I do feel like Tim/Lyla got flogged to death, but I never liked them to begin with, so maybe it's just me. But the Matt/Julie stuff in this season is priceless.
