Line 140:
** A lot of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' fans slash Mohinder Suresh and Adam Monroe, despite the fact that the two have never met in canon. Reasons include Mohinder's status as [[Horrible Judge of Character|evil magnet]], or the "British connection" stemming from the fanon idea that Mohinder went to boarding school in England... but mainly, the actors are just '''so freaking pretty.''' [[Not That There's Anything Wrong with That]].
** Claude/Sandra is another popular one. We've never seen them onscreen together, but Claude was HRG's partner at the Company and apparently his close friend, and Sandra is/was HRG's wife, so they most likely knew each other.
* ''[[
* In order to [[Pair the Spares]], ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fans have a tendency to do this. One favourite is the Dawn/Andrew ship, even though they've hardly ever talked and Andrew is [[Ambiguously Gay|in love with Spike]].
** This isn't actually that stupid, since Andrew has expressed a certain fondness for Dawn and she's practically fawning over him after he refuses to help the First.
Line 177:
* [[Pokémon Colosseum]] has Afroshipping, Flint from Diamond and Pearl x Mirror B. These two characters have not and will never meet. [[Crack Pairing|They both have afros, though.]]
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Rekka no Ken'' fandom was quite fond of Wil/Florina for a while.
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'' has Albel and Nel, two soldiers from warring kingdoms. Plenty of opportunities for [[Foe Yay]], but they mostly ignore each other in the script. Doesn't stop the shippers from using Albel as the [[Gay Option|Straight Option]] for Nel.
** In this pairing's defense, it's actually somewhat logical, given both make great [[Foil|Foils]] for the other, but given the game only has Nel comment on Albel disdainfully and Albel generally doesn't give a crap about anything outside of stabbing his enemies to death and pursuing a rivalry with Fayt, you'd have to have a third party intervene to make it work, and the usual fanfic cliche is to have them get married for political reasons (which, given the plot, would make sense).
* Any and all Organization XIII shipping in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fandom. It's not so bad for the members who appear in ''Chain of Memories'', but the members in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] 2'' have essentially no interaction and only appear by themselves. The Director's Cut edition adds a few scenes between them, but all they do is [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness|growl about The Plan]].
