I think shipping in the VOCALOID fandom is really special from other fandom shipping. It's filled with creativity, and nobody can (or is supposed to, at least) be shot down for it, because there's nothing to shoot down. There are no personalities premade; fans have the gift of molding them however they want. Truly, every VOCALOID pairing is possible, if the fans want it to be...well, I DO have one pet peeve about it. I'm not the biggest fan of shipping VOCALOIDs with UTAUs because...well, they're UTAUs! I've memorized every single VOCALOID under the sun (including the non-Japanese ones; thank my undying obsession for that) but with the UTAUs, I just have a hard time keeping up. And no, I am NOT saying that you should never do it, because, again, VOCALOID is all about creativity, so ship whatever you want. I just have a hard time keeping up. But if someone wanted to explain it to me, I'd be happy to listen! To answer your second question, not usually. This is only my second time commenting on one of these. But I love reading and watching other people's opinions on the subject! YES! Extremely! There have been numerous times I have seen where fans of (I'm only giving examples people) RinLen, KaitoMiku, GakupoLuka, etc. will go completely crazy over a simple comment about a different pairing! And then the fans of (again, only examples!) MikuLen, KaitoMeiko, MikuLuka, etc. will equally trash talk the other person! (Those are the pairings I have seen a lot of battle against, I didn't mean to offend anyone who likes those pairings, I realize there are other pairings in which this happens to.) Some of my personal favorite pairings are: LEONxSweet Ann LenxMiku SF-A2 mikixPiko MewxKAITO GUMIxRin YukarixIA OLIVERxLen Most of these come from music videos/my overly active imagination. I also like the idea of LOLA being an overly attached stalker of LEON, Yuki having one of those little girl crushes on YOHIOloid, MAYU being obsessed with Gakupo, and MIRIAM and SONiKA being forever alone, just because! But I'm not the supreme ruler of all VOCALOIDs, and even if I was, I wouldn't make my favorite pairings official. I ship all pairings, really, no matter how "worn out" and "too popular" they are. That's my two cents; thanks for reading, and ship whatever pairing you please, no matter what other people say!
