For those that don’t know, shipping is the uniquely Internet practice of pairing characters from a movie/show/comic/book together as romantic interests, despite the fact that it usually flies in the face of the author’s intentions. Take that pair, illustrate it, write bad fan-fiction, and, particularly on both Tumblr and Deviantart, attack other shippers whose pairings differ from your own. Because you know better. You know how those characters really should feel. Shipping is exactly as sane as it sounds.
But enough of that. It’s good to be back after two weeks. You’ve all been waiting for Convict-Con, and this story is finally going to answer some important questions. What happened in Washington? Why did the villains all follow the Crimson Claw once? Why does Claw hate Captain Ultimo so much?
Oh, yeah. We’re doin’ this.

Oh shipping, wonderful, wonderful shipping…. *Ahem* (can’t say I’ve not shipped a time or two, but I am not fanatic about the ideas)
I love love love Meat by the way. He takes such glee in these tasks… it’s no wonder Claw relies so heavily on him! 😛

Heh, read this a bit late so I was like “Oh, so its a seminar on logistics. That actually probably is important to being a supervillain.”
Once I realized my mistake I stopped feeling bad that he didn’t take the money and go. 😉

If it makes you feel better, I thought it was about logistics as well.

Yeah, he’s carrying a box, so that was where my mind went too.

Ahaha! I just now got it!

Wait, if they took over the seminar on shipping, what kind of an audience are they about to get?

I’m guessing people who want Meat and The Shipping Guy together. Love at first punch anyone?

Its, a supervillain convention. I imagine stealing other peoples panels happens all the time.

Anticipation!

I’m pretty sure shipping, like fanfiction, predates the internet.
It’s just exploded since its invention, no longer limited to fan ‘zines and published works for stories that have passed into public domain.
