Fix'd (I actually kinda like Snails and Twist BTW, not as a serious thing, but more as a elementary-school-oh-look-we're-married type of thing)But I don't see a problem with shipping. I'm okay with FlutterMac and TwiMac, and FlutterPie and RainbowPie if it's done right (Ask Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie <3). Lyra and Bonbon I don't ship, though; I find Lyra being completely oblivious to Bonbon's advances a lot funnier. :POctavia, however, is harder to pinpoint... she doesn't really seem like a match for Vinyl like everypony says (although the Ask Octavia canon may just be ingrained in my head).here's the problem with shipping: it's lazy, it's boring, in almost never works, and it shows that the author has no creative ways to make romance fics.
