Hmm, I actually don't see a lot of hoyay on Farscape, at least there are several other shows I see it on more. I guess I see John as so Aeryn-centric that pairing him with other people doesn't come to mind (although I so think the show could have gone John/Chiana if they had wanted to, but again, Aeryn-centric-ness).
The emotional connection is the biggest thing for me, has to come before I consider sexual connection beyond just wanted pretty people to shag each other already. I can enjoy ships like, where I first enjoy their sexual chemistry, but I can't think of a case where I really believed in those ships (you mentioning Wes/Lilah brings it to mind).
There are a lot of slash ships out there that I get in the sense that I see why people would ship them but they just never clicked with me. It's not even that I don't seen the chemistry that could be seen as sexual it just never struck me that way I guess.
I don't like ships where you need to make a huge amount of stuff up just for it to be viable.
Again ignoring the fact that these days I count my crossover shipping as a big deal, I agree. I need canon to give me a reason to go there. Different people focus on different aspects of canon so they can read things different ways, but it needs to strike me the right way with what's on screen (or text for the occasional book shipping) for me to consider it a "ship" as opposed to a pairing.
Hmm. I can definitely see where sexual chemistry is a factor to you (Wes/Lilah, Scorpy/Sikozu, Kaylee/Inara), that plus a couple others would lead me to say you like more adult ships (Jaime/Briennae Zoe/Wash, Roslin/Adama). But you do seem to deal with at least some will they/won't they pull (again Bill/Laura, Jaime/Brienne, Susan/Marcus)
(A couple of them I can't comment on and one I won't because I don't think you'd like what I had to say.)
Hey, if you ever want to talk RPG shipping I'm all there, we'd just have to spend a lot of time explaining this to each other no doubt.
