I didn't know 'shipping smacked of fangirling...=( *feels terrible* Because I read fanfic for specific pairings all the time...mainly because I like the characters best, or can relate to them, or just plain think they're hot in bed together. I don't really see the point in reading (or writing) a pairing I'm uninterested in. *shrugs*

*ponders some more*

What comes first, the chicken or the egg

I know a rather good dirty joke that goes with that question...but you might have heard it already. =p
