Rather, what I'm saying is that it really comes down to why people are writing and reading fanfic in the first place. Is it about interpretation?
Lol assuming one is reading/writing fan fiction in the first place--I am an avid and hopeless shipper, and yet I've never really gotten into fanfic! :p
I think it just really depends on the characters and dynamics and people's preferences. If the canon pairings don't do it for them or they prefer other dynamics present, then people ship fanon. But there's never any guarantee with shipping or preferences. Sometimes when I'm looking at my ship tags on Tumblr I ceinge to see some of the other pairings my fellow shippers like.
