    I agree, and in the spirit of honoring her, I've tackled my first banner. It's multi-shipper of course! (technically it's Sara-shipping but it's multiple guys! :lol:) I feel kinda proud, plus CSI was the first show where I started to multiship, even though I was slightly GSR in the beginning. Hooray for many options! (Is my banner too big BTW? I hope not.)

    In closing, who says guys are the only players? She's got it, so she can flaunt it. ;)

    It's been a while since I've been in here. My list is pretty much the same, except that I exchanged Cath/Sara for Cath/Warrick. And I've begun to ship Danny/Lindsay as well.

    CSI:
    Grissom/Sara
    Sara/Greg
    Catherine/Warrick
    Nick/Sofia

    Miami:
    Horatio/Yelina
    Calleigh/Speedle
    Horatio/Suzie

    NY:
    Mac/Stella
    Danny/Lindsay

    The only person that I multipship is Sara...though that is only just two ships.

    Wow, I'd forgotten about this thread. :) In the spirit of the new threads 1CSIMfan opened where we can vote on the various ships we like, I thought I'd bump this up so we can discuss them here. Let's also keep this in mind when we post:

    So, if you're a multishipper, this is the place to express your love of more than one ship. :D To echo a question that forensicsgirl asked a bit up the thread: "Who do you multi? Why do you multi? What's the best thing about being a multi? What's the worst thing? Come in, share, commune with your fellow Multis. We're all ship addicts at heart, right?"

    I ship a lot of couples for NY. Danny/Flack, Danny/Adam and Danny/Angell, mainly. I think Danny is my ship whore. :lol: I love his character and the idea of how he'd be in relationships with such different people. Adam and Angell are also characters that I like to ship around, although at this point it's mainly just in my head. ;)

    I still think multishipping is a great thing and IMO it makes you open to more possibilities and helps you to see the interaction between characters in a whole new light.

    The negatives of multishipping...well, I don't think there are many. To echo something already said in this thread, I think the main problem is when some people in one of your chosen ships seem to dislike another of your ships and you feel like you can't pair both. I don't have this problem, actually (I'm lucky enough to be a part of some open-minded pairings), but I know some people do. :)

    So what about you guys? Who do you multiship and what do you love/hate about being a multishipper? ;)

    Love - I love all of my ships. Some I wanna dump sometimes, but never get around to it. Hate - Just when things go wrong in half of them, I get pissy over it.

    Some I ship for Chemistry and for keeps and some are really just for play. I have my OTP's and some that are like my little flings. I think everyone can guess my main OTP. But anyways, Ship on!

    I ship all the ladies with each other (Cath, Sara, Sofia, Mandy, Calleigh, Jacqui) and I ship Hodges/Nicky right now.
    Also some Nick/Greg, Cath/Warrick, Sara/Warrick and Sandle...when I'm in the mood.

    The great thing about multishipping is that you can have so much fun interpreting scenes, read into glances and comments, stuff like that.
    I tend to switch ships with my moods, so for every state of mind I have different couples. It's great to play around with the chemistry they all have. I'd say that is what I love most about it. Also, when I'm stuck on a fic I can just switch and instead write someone else until the spirit comes back :D
    What I hate about multishipping? Hmm, maybe that sometimes it's hard to decide who I want with whom, so when I watch the show or write fics it's sometimes difficult to shut off one ship in oder to allow another.
    But there's always oportunity for orgies *cough* sorry. But isn't it true that they all love each other? :p

    INHC, you can't hate me--after all, I didn't say you had to post in here. ;)

    I'd say that describes me as well. I have the pairings that I really like, but I also have some that could be interesting and that I'd like to read/write fic for, but not as seriously as other pairings.

    :lol: It's definitely true that they all love each other. I've been known to consider threesomes/foursomes/moresomes myself, so I'm not adverse to expanding on that two-person formula. :lol:

    I agree. I might watch a scene and think it was great for a certain pairing, but then watch another scene in the same episode and think of a different one. :lol: If there are three people in a scene that I like to pair up in various combinations, I might think of what that scene says about each pairing versus the others, or how that might work for a threesome. :lol: The locker room scene in "And Here's to You, Mrs. Azrael" with Hawkes, Danny and Adam was like that for me. I was thinking of the Danny/Hawkes possibility of that scene, and then when Adam came in I thought about the Danny/Adam aspect (since I just love the idea of that pairing), and then later on my mind was toying with more possibilities like Hawkes/Adam or a threesome with all of the guys in it. :lol:

    Something that I'm curious about: if you multiship but have an OTP, do you ever dislike some of your own favorite ships if canon interaction leans more toward them than your OTP? I don't necessarily mean that the characters start dating or anything, although that's certainly a possibility. And I don't want it to turn into negativity against any ships in here, since we're all in a happy place and don't want to argue. ;) (And there are ship debate threads, after all. :p) Here's kind of what I mean: If you like a pairing (say Danny/Adam), but your OTP is something else (like Danny/Flack in my case), do you get upset at the idea that your OTP could have had the interaction instead? Does OTP always trump the other ships you like? I say this because I don't really feel that way. Danny/Flack is my OTP, no doubt about that, but if I see Danny and Adam in a scene (or Danny and Angell, or Mac and Flack, etc), I just get excited about the pairing in that scene rather than thinking 'that should have been Flack there instead.' Is this just me? :lol:

    I think I'm getting your question, that is kinda why I don't have a real OTP. I love all my ships equally. If a certain scene leans toward one pairing, in that moment it becomes my OTP, then, the next scene might suggest a different pairing I'm glad about that.
    Sometimes I feel like certain scenes would have been a better fit for another pairing than the one that it was, but I don't get upset about it unless the suggested ship is one that I don't like. :p

    That's true, I can see what you mean there. I think there are different ways to think of OTPs though. Some people consider their OTP the best one, and/or the one that they always want to see. In my case, I think of my 'OTP' as just my favorite ship. Danny/Flack is the one I read/write/discuss the most, but if one of the other ships I like is represented, I'm just as happy, even if I don't give that ship as much attention. ;) If that makes sense. :lol: (I'm not so sure that I do, actually. :p)

    I do that too. I think about that whether it's shippy or not. Sometimes I think a different character should have been in a scene for one reason or another, but it's not necessarily because I want to pair them up, but just because I think their relationship is more appropriate in that scene, etc...

    Yeah, but you tempted me. and half of my Danny ships are your fault!

    Yeah, I figured you were the same way :D .. I have some that I love to write for.

    Well the whole Danny shirtless does it for everyone :devil:

    I completely get you there, Mia.
