A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".) Urban Dictionary

Fandom uses this word as a verb to denote their interest in the possible (and perhaps more often impossible) romantic relationship between two characters in a piece of fiction belonging to any medium. It's really never used in a platonic way, but if it ever is, people tend to separately emphasize that they are using it platonically. Usually written: Character/Character or CharacterxCharacter. Fanfiction without any shipping, or with little emphasis on ship is usually labeled genfic, which there is a depressing lack of. Urban Dictionary

In fanfic, putting characters into a romantic relationship, such as writing Ash + Misty from Pokemon as a couple. Often plays on perceived chemistry between characters in the original series. Abbreviated form of the word relationshipping. Urban Dictionary

The word comes from 'relationship', and means supporting an existing romantic relationship between two characters, or the idea of two characters who are not currently together being a couple. The couple are called a 'ship', and the person doing the shipping is a 'shipper'. The term can also be used in reference to real-life people. A person's favourite 'ship' is their 'OTP' - One True Pairing. Urban Dictionary

The act of pairing any two characters together. Lonely people do this to try to suppress their own loneliness. It usually leads to making terrible fan art. Urban Dictionary

Also, can be made from inanimate objects. Almost anything can be "shipped". Urban Dictionary

The practice of transporting freight by sea. Some people seem to think this term has to do with fictional characters and their love lives. Grow up! Urban Dictionary

Usually two people who you ship. meaning that you either want them to become an item, kiss or enter into a romantic/sexual relationship or all of the above. usually when you ship someone, you smile when they interact somehow or become extremely giddy when they do something together. Urban Dictionary

The act of taking two fictional or non-fictional characters, and personally wishing for them to either be in love, or for them to have sex. The term has many background terms. If you are a person who wants to characters/people shipped, you are a shipper. The term is changed to "Sailing Ship" whenever the ship that was made becomes successful. For example: two fictional characters falling in love after multiple ships of said characters were made. Urban Dictionary

The act of one wanting/supporting two individuals involved in a romantic relationship Urban Dictionary
