The Anatomy of An OTP or SHIP

Hi there Misfit booknerds! Have you been enjoying Chocolates, First Loves and Book Crushes? If you have exactly no idea what I'm talking about then fret not for I am a sweet, innocent host that will link you to the event, because I care. But more than that, the event has introduced me to a number of authors with books and characters that have interesting pairings, relationships, etc. 

We've always been curious about what makes a pairing in books so special. What gives that initial spark and what draws us to wave the flags of our ships till the inevitable drowning of it coz it sunk deep into the ocean abyss and also the successful ones...which matters too of course. *remembers all the sunken ships she's supported all this time*


As much as we hate to admit it, a One True Pairing or OTP as we like to call it in fangirl language, which is a thing, I swear to the heavens, can be a bit of a doozy, especially in a book series. Sometimes we ship a pairing soooo freaking hard that we call them our "OTP" but then the author decides to kill that ship and pair the girl or the guy with another character and "WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME OH MY GOD"?

It hurts. So no matter if it's canon or not, an OTP can literally save lives...or ruin them forever. So what actually makes an OTP, OTP?
