I like CSI, myself.
Lookie! A small Firefly kerfluffle! Hurray!

It all begins with the most dangerous question anyone can ask in fandom:
"WHY do people ship them?"

In this case, it is the sweet, virginal newbie [info]losthitsuzen wants to know why, oh why does anyone ship Jayne/River (henceforth called Rayne.)

Highlights!

"They flirt like middle schoolers and it's cute! 'I can kill you with my brain!' 'He looks good in red'! IT'S ALL SO CUTE!!"
"She was threating to kill him. And then attempting to kill him. That isn't cute."



"Welcome to Special Hell!"



"boo, hiss!"


ect. it seems that it's still going for the gusto, too. Good, I like my wanks to last a while.

EDIT: Stop it, kid. You are getting spolge all over my incest fics.

She was not attempting to kill him. She was killing the shirt.

*sigh* fandom is, in so many ways, like a Ouija board. Don't ask it questions that you don't really want the answer to.

That being said, I don't get Jayne/River.

Um, would someone point out the wank? I'm seeing what's pretty much a dime-a-dozen 'shipper fandom discussion. Seriously, it's pretty low-grade on the hostility scale.

'Sides, Rayne 'shippers are crackheads.

"Why do people ship Rayne?"

Because when everyone else on Serenity is paired off, they're the only ones left. At least, that's my guess.

Eh, not seeing any wank. They've all been fairly civil so far, a few mildly snarky comments notwithstanding. For a shipper discussion, that's the equivalent of everyone linking arms and singing "Kumbaya."

I think this River/Jayne stuff is a lot like Kate/Sawyer (from LOST, my only TV fandom). It's like, "I hate you." "I hate you too, and I love this other guy." "I'm better than this other guy." "This is true." "Make out with me while I am tied to a tree in the jungle of mystery." "OKAY!" "Are we together now?" "....Yes."

Except for the fact that Kate/Sawyer is now sunk, and I am a sad little LOSTie.

All of you and your shippy comments are making me lust for Firefly fic. Jayne/Simon, Simon/River, Mal/Jayne, or, best of best, Simon/River/Kaylee... Oh the sexy, sexy thoughts. I should look for fic. I really should.

Wank, what wank? I'm thinking happy thoughts here.

I'm disturbed that people could call the interaction between Jayne and River "flirting." And uh, in case they didn't notice, Jayne's terrified of her.

So, like, 'ship who you want but if you insist on justifying it with more than "because I can" try and base it on stuff that actually, y'know, happened.

I hope the Harry Potter people are paying attention as to how they can have a civilised shipping discussion, since that's what this is.

Not seeing the River/Jayne thing myself, but maybe they can bond over mutual fighting skills?

I swear, any time someone says, "why do people ship x/x?" and a good meta-ship discussion could start, someone will jump in and start debating the points.

He's like ten times her size. He'd totally squish her.

River/Anyone squicks me out. She's crazy! Being in a relationship with her just strikes me as someone taking advantage for some reason, like she's not in the right frame of mind to be choosing who she's with.

I see no wank though.

Have to agree with all the "where's the wank?" comments. This seems like a good example of the fact that not all ship discussions have to turn out wanky.
