Shipping according to Tvtropes: quickhttp://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Shipping

*A red curtain is quickly drawn back, revealing a large red sofa. Two people sit on the sofa, one a small, young blonde boy in a casual suit. The other is an older woman, also blonde, who wears a stylish black dress. A tattoo can be seen on her left arm. They both smile*

BOY: I'm Keith.
WOMAN: And I'm Sandra.
BOTH: And this...is Shipper On Deck!

*Snazzy theme music plays, and the camera pans over the studio audience, eventually returning to Keith and Sandra*

KEITH: Hello. As you all know, I'm Keith, and this is my lovely partner Sandra.
SANDRA: This is a little show we call Shipper on Deck. *She laughs* Now, I know what you're thinking: Shipping? What? I've heard it before but...
KEITH: Well, don't be confused. Shipping is the act of pairing two characters together, and is actually quite common among fans of many different media.
SANDRA: Just ask the Pokemon crowd! *They both laugh* But in all seriousness, don't. They're crazy.

KEITH: Basically, we're here to introduce you to the common ships and whatnot of Potters Army. We're a large, respectable Harry Potter RP site, we should have ships of our own!
SANDRA: And that's where we come in. Today we take a look at PA's most popular ship...Ginevra Malenki and Darren Riddle.
KEITH: Shippers have a habit of giving their ships names for the sake of time and sanity. This is most often done by combining the names, though some name them differently. For the sake of our writer, we'll simply combine names.
SANDRA: So, from now on, when you see the word: Darevra, we're talking about the DarrenxGinevra couple.

KEITH: Darevra is a ship that has transcended time. Seriously. This thing should have a website dedicated to it.
SANDRA: Right you are Keith. For those who don't know, Darevra is far and away the most popular and well respected ship on PA. Despite the fact that the two characters are not together, this ship holds a strong and loyal fanbase.
KEITH: Trying to chronicle the entirety of Darevra would be like trying to eat the MOON. It's impossible. All that we can safely reveal is that Darevra may or may not have happened in the past.
SANDRA: Whether it did occur or not is irrelevant, only that it caught on like wildfire. Two strong, independent characters, both played by veteran, experienced rpers? It could only end well.
KEITH: Darevra has a tendency to pop up randomly and confuse newer members-
SANDRA: And by 'newer' we mean anyone who wasn't here at the beginning of the site.
KEITH: But a few posts make it abundantly clear to this clueless newbie that Darevra is the ship to ship.
SANDRA: Unfortunately, due to lack of activity by either character, the ship has recently been shunted to the sidelines. But still, and forever more, the Darevra flame glows bright.
KEITH: Well folks, that's all for now.
SANDRA: But be sure to tune in next time as we cover the infamous Ne'os and Sam. This is-
BOTH: SHIPPER ON DECK!

*Snazzy theme music plays again. Screen fades to black*






So, Shipper on Deck. My twisted little...er, thingy. Because it's 2:30 in the morning, and I can't think of anything else to do. Tell me how you like it, I suppose.

xD it is very nice, but Andrew and Chase are now dominating the scene Darren has been gone for who knows long xD

Idk Andrew Darevra is pretty big. And you and chase are nothing compared to me and Sam i mean she turned Ne from wanting the world to burn to a proper gentlemen who would kill the darklord if it meant she would be safe. And who knows even though he tried to kill her there could still be potential for us to. *looks at Sam and smiles* Cant wait for the next episode Sandra.

I'm kinda rooting for a Jack/Vito Episode XD I think that would be exciting!

Well still, nothing beats Chase+Andrew...NOTHING.

and yesh, we need an episode abut Vack!

But here's the thing, those are actual relationships, and always were, Darevra blatantly denied any form of relationship, or friendship, at all, and it was something that went along for ages and ages, yes, of late the ship has been docked at port, but in all reality, among the older members of the site, and some of the newer ones, danevra will never be beaten.

My final argument, do you hear anyone else talking about Andrew and Chase? No, you do not, no one else cares, or notices, whereas most everyone was obsessed with Danevra.

Ne'os and Sam was an interesting one, but twas not nearly as big as Danevra

Jess how about you actually read about the whole Chase/Andrew thing instead of just looking back at Darren and Ginerva. I mean sure they are still a good 'couple' and all, but I really think you need to look towards some of the more recent ones. And yeah, I think Sam/Ne'Os was good as well, being as both were kinda messed up at the time xD

well you get married at a young age and see how messed up you are.

Well shes 14...you should have been arrested for child molestation xD!

i'm only 3 years older than her...thats not against the law though ill admit the laws in Europe are a bit unclear to me (didnt consider that when we were dateing)
