I know what "slash" is -- but what does "ship" mean in fandom terms?

It's an abbreviation for 'relationship'. Geekdom is so time-consuming, we don't have time to type proper words.

Ah! I should have guessed!
Thanks, I knew you would be able to help me! ;-)

BTW: I would love to see your answers to the icon meme I just posted. You have the best icons.

*grins* Yeah, but knowing me I'd just go on an ego trip and just use the icons that someone made for me because she was inspired by my fic ;) I'll try and get around to it when I have time.

You know, I've been meaning to ask that m'self.

*heads over to urbandictionary.com*

Shipper - relationshipper; One who believes there is, was, should, and could be a relationship between 2 characters in a certain fandom.

Ahhhhh.
