2023 Ship Promo Post!

[rarepairmod]

We know most of you have been looking forward to this post, so without further ado, here's your chance to share what you love about the rare ships you've nominated and will either request and/or offer! Some of the rare ships in the tagset belong to rare canons. If you're someone who loves trying new canons or is currently on the hunt to become obsessive about something else, this is a great post for you!

You can use the form below to get started. (You don't have to if you don't want to, but we advise trying to make your comment easy to read.)

A few things to consider:

Please try to keep your thirst to one comment.

Please try to limit the number of gifs and videos you post, if you choose to provide some supportive material. (We recommend any more than one gif/video that you can link for anyone with a slower Internet connection.)

Please link and mark anything that is NSFW, especially if you're posting gifs/videos. (We'd also appreciate trigger warnings for the big triggers. If you think it needs a trigger warning, please add it.)

Please remember that this post may contain triggering topics due to canon content that may or may not be warned for, so please view the content at your own discretion.

You can also use this post to ask for canon recs. We recommend advising what you're looking for (a particular medium or a canon that's so many hours long?)—and it wouldn't hurt to mention what kind of ship dynamics/tropes you're into since that's why we're here!

We won't be moderating this page as closely, but we will screen/freeze threads as needed. If you need to get in contact with us, please reply to this comment.

Thanks to yuletide for the inspiration for the form.

Canon: Outside XBox RPF

Ships: Andy Farrant/Jane Douglas

Media: YouTube channel Outside XBox: https://www.youtube.com/@outsidexbox

A summary of the canon: These two are fellow hosts of a video game YouTube channel. They are not actually involved with each other romantically and both have partners IRL, but oh god the *potential!*

What do you love about this ship?: They are both gorgeous and have such amazing chemistry! Their banter is absolutely top quality (and could occasionally be interpreted as flirtatious). When I watch them/listen to them, it just makes me sigh and think "they would make such a great couple!"

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: There is literally no Outside XBox RPF currently on AO3, so I would be happy to receive just about anything. I don't think of it in terms of a speculative 'oh i bet they're actually cheating on their partners with each other' thing in any sense - more of a 'what-if' fantasy of sorts. But I'm open to whatever scenario comes to mind, whether it's sweet and fluffy or full of drama.

Content warnings: None! Their content is generally wholesome and SFW.
