OTP Meme

There's a new meme which encourages one to 'explicate your ship/OTP paradigm' and I am, unsurprisingly, fascinated by it. It's a topic that I adore- along with 'explicate your OTC paradigm'- and reading other people's essays has been amazingly interesting and thought-provoking. You should all go and read Phoebe's essay in particular, and not just because I would never have been able to put my own thoughts into coherent order if I hadn't read hers first. ETA: And now Dorian's essay is available! Read that one as well.

I also expect everyone to write one of these yourselves. Not enough people have been doing it! I want more lovely essays to read and consider.

( I can't believe how long this got. Congratulations to anyone who reads it. )
