Before we
get started (No, dammit, I want to start now!),
remember there are some rules to 'shipping which might dictate a romance not be a shipfic, and therefore in the
other, non-shippy section of the DC Fanfiction
pages: 1) The
paired couple has to be officially un-paired in canon. A Lois & Clark
romance, for example, would go into the non-ship section of this site. If
they ever happened to divorce in the comics, then it would then be a shipfic.
a)
The exception to this is a brand new official couple – such as Hawkgirl
and GL on the Justice League animated show. This is because we really have no
idea if it will last beyond one or two shows. When they get married
happily-ever-after, then it isn't really a 'shipfic. b)
Dating is not 'officially paired'. And, if the audience knows that a marriage
takes place with a lie behind it, it should also be considered a 'shipfic.
For example, Phoebe and Cole in Charmed:
they get married, but we know he's bad; therefore, it is more than likely
their marriage will be under terrible strain and might collapse = shipfic. 2) It must
be between two characters in canon, and preferably lead characters. If a
secondary character is used, that is also fine – but a character
created by the author for the purpose of a romantic interest does not a
shipfic make. It's a romance, but not a shippy one. a)
One exception to the 'characters in canon' rule is a one-time character
– a character created for exactly one episode or book also does not a
shipfic make. Again, it is just a romance then, primarily because one episode
or book usually does not give a character enough depth – in essence,
the author is taking the character and creating its personality as they would
a character of their own (but with a little help from the official writers). |

One final
note: obviously, I am partial to Batman/Wonder Woman shipfics, but I am
excited by any well-written shipfic or fanfic. That said, you'll notice that
I've included some other couples as well – but the majority is still Batman/Wonder
Woman, and will likely stay that way. If you know
of a really great story for DC Fanfiction, but I haven't included it here,
feel free to e-mail me to suggest it – I may have missed it in my
search for great fic, or simply forgot it when I was making this site. And,
if you are a Batman/Wonder Woman shippy author and your fic or your name
isn't here, please don't take offense – it was most likely an oversight
on my part, and please e-mail me to let me know. I will not guarantee its inclusion,
however; partially because I'm too lazy to constantly update the site, and partially because I'm afraid that
if I start adding every suggested piece, this site will become my life. Also, I am
doing my best to include only finished pieces on this site, with the
exception of some fics that I think are worth a look even partially finished.
If you suggest a fic that is not completed, please be aware that unless I'm
blown away by the writing, then I probably won't link to it yet. Alright,
enough of that boring stuff, now on to the fun: Art Credits: Brian Bolland |
