I'm not criticizing romance, or shipping.  I like both when it's done well, and the story is actually more than just "circumstances that cause these two horses to do the kiss".  I honestly do believe, however, that most MLP shipping fanfiction is not well written, and mostly fan service.  Does that mean I think shipping is bad?  No."}
