Hey, did you know archive.org has a bunch of free 90s shows you can stream?

The problem is finding them, since no one's organized them all in one place with covers and episode info. I'm trying to fix that with my new website.

It's in BETA right now, and all the content was just added today, so I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.

I keep seeing it referenced as some kind of badge of dishonor

it means

"in favor of shipping and the freedom to ship whatever"

that's it

no, it does not stand for "problematic shipping" which is a real thing I saw someone try to claim

it came about as a response to ANTI-shipping

as in people being weird and toxic about other people's ships

like, stop that

If you wanted a place for just your ship, you made your own fanfiction archive for it and you maintained and moderated it yourself. And most of these only existed because it made it easier to find fics for your OTP, not because the sight of other ships disgusted you.

Have an issue with something you see on a kink meme? Don't read through the comments on the kink meme or wait until the Delicious board is up and filter just the tags you want.

If someone brought up fic or shipping to an actor, a containment breach klaxon would go off and everyone would talk shit in the private LJ and Dreamwidth communities. You did not make ship wars the problem of the actors, show runners, directors, or writers. That was internet bullshit that stayed on the internet. If someone became aware of it on their own, fine, but that was exceedingly rare. You definitely didn't ask shipping questions to the actors if you were a "journalist."

You shipped what you shipped, you were into what you were into, you left people alone, and you did not wave any of it in the face of the actors.

Here, hold your organizer
