Like, wow! Ships are amazing, regardless of how they're faring in terms of the number of stories in each tag, or how many moments they have, etc. It's so cool to think about how many people have received inspiration because of certain ships! I've met so many people who said that they wouldn't have started writing if not for fanfiction and shipping!

For me personally, as a writer of the Seulrene tag mostly, it's seriously so cool to see how many new writers have emerged because of Seulgi and Irene! I know that similar ships (particularly some of the more popular, widely inhabited tags) have done the same!

And if you write for a less popular ship, that's great too! Power to you, my friends! I know it's not always easy to find inspiration, and I write for a rather popular ship lol so you guys go and fill up that tag of your choice with all your amazing stories you want to share!

I guess my point of making this blog post is to point out that no ships are "overrated" or "too popular" lol in the end, both larger flagships and smaller ships are both incredibly important to a fandom! I was able to get into such a wonderful community thanks to Seulrene! And I've been able to make other amazing friends in my support for ships like Wenjoy, Joyri, Minayeon, Eunxiao, D.Nahyun, Chaennie, Jensoo, Chaelisa, Lipsoul, Chuuves, Hyewon, etc.

Keep on shipping, folks! Be kind to each other and have fun!
