Description
The twenty-fourth in a series of comics I'm writing. I've learned a lot of things from my year on dA: various memes, styles and terminologies.This week, Shipping! If you've never heard of the term, or still think it has something to do with trade, search it up on Urban Dictionary. Okay, when someone first used the term "shipping" in my presence, I thought they were slightly mad. It didn't seem to make sense. They said something along the lines of "I don't ship my characters," which baffled me to no end. Eventually someone told me the definition and my reaction was simply, "Ah." Shipping is something I see a lot on this site (usually marked as CharacterXCharacter), so having a name for it really doesn't really change anything. I'm not entirely sure where this whole idea comes from, but it usually ends in Yaoi. And if you've read my comics from the start, you'll know that Yaoi and I don't get along
For anyone wondering about the character in the last panel, his name is Alexander, and his creation went through several stages of refinement and reassessment. I'm fairly happy with the way he turned out, and I might consider drawing him again.
Oh, one more thing. IF I SEE ONE BLOODY FANART FEATURING SCOOTER, NEGA-SCOTT, ALEXANDER OR ALL THREE IN A "SHIPPING" SCENARIO, I. WILL. END YOU.

I love the fact he responded as "Random fangirl?" I can totally imagine someone calling him and him just saying in this really bored voice, "What do you want, random person?"

(Ah, I see the dark underbelly of the internet has shown its grimy face again. My sympathies. On a side note... for some reason I find Alexander's hair uniquely terrifying.)
'Shipping' can be used for het pairs too, and sometimes it's just two characters being cutesy dating together.
It's the slash that gets you in the bum.
...yeah ok I think I need my innuendo license revoked

I have to admit, British Columbia is the closest I get to pinpointing your location

lol XD Exactly my point~ ^^ Not very people can pinpoint exactly where I live. Even some have troubles figuring out Kaslo (about 30 min drive or 45 min school bus ride from where I live) and Nelson (about an hour and a half or so from where I live) are XD
