Out of curiosity... what does 'shipper' stand for or mean?
On topic: this is freakin'ly scary..... an FMian and a human?!?!
It means someone who is a fan of the two together. It comes from the word relationship.
Wiki's description: "Someone who supports a fictional romantic relationship, usually on the Internet."
"
Shipping, derived from the word "relationship", is a general term for fans' emotional and/or intellectual involvement with the ongoing development of romance in a work of fiction. Though technically applicable to any such involvement, it refers chiefly to various related social dynamics observable on the Internet, and is seldom used outside of that context.
Shipping can involve virtually any kind of relationship — from the well-known and established, to the ambiguous or those undergoing development, and even to the highly improbable and the blatantly impossible. People involved in shipping (or shippers) assert that the relationship
does exist,
will exist, or simply that they would
like it to exist."

But yeah, that's about the only reason I don't go with War Rock X Subaru XD I do like Cancer X Misora though, but not War Rock X Subaru...however, if somebody
had to be with Subaru besides Luna, War Rock is tied in second on my list with Tsukasa.
