There are. I dunno how large a percentage of the fandom, but there are.

*snort* Joke's on you! I like LyraBon and OctaScratch. Actually, I should go scouting for some good LyraBon stories; I haven't actually read all that many, though I do like the pairing.

Truly, my evil knows no bounds. Today, it's adult female characters in consensual, respectful, mutually loving relationships ... tomorrow, it's world domination via the plant cyborg army.

Actually, on a related note, I find the whole phenomenon of "I ship yuri!" or "I ship het!" to be exceedingly strange. I ship ... characters who I think would be interesting paired together? And sometimes that's a male character and a female character, and sometimes that's two female characters, and sometimes that's two male characters, and sometimes that's a whole boatload of characters if we're talking MLP or K-ON?

Me, too, though there are certainly stories with OCs that I've enjoyed. All things being equal, though, my bias is toward the canon characters. They're the ones I already know and already love, after all. But that goes back to: Different strokes for different folks.

If someone wants to ship Rainbow Dash with, say, Gummy, for some strange reason ... well, it is not for me to stand between a shipper and their OTP.

No, not that I know of and I think that's the lack of sleep asking that question. But hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.
