(edited to add: really more like an overview of the history of these type of stories, but it touches on their current popularity in the western reading market and how they fill a niche)

@goldgust@blorbo.social I enjoyed reading that! 🤔 Maybe shipping is an exploration of an interesting dynamic (to us) and we just wanna see more of that (or extrapolate if they have never interacted)

@soph_sol@federatedfandom.net gonna tag @NiFWatchParty@fedigroups.social (fic rec for Jingrui and Yujin!)
