... but what the heck. I don’t know that I’ve been around enough recently for anyone to have any sense of, well, who I am, but sure, I’ll opt in for the lols. Short auburn hair, 5’6”, a bit chubby, 28, queer (approximately pansexual, but queer is preferred label), genderqueer (she/her and/or they/them), androgynous enough that strangers tend to be 50-50 split on reading me as male or female. Available to ship with anybody, regardless of gender or species.

I'm a tall, broad-shouldered human male, and I'm game for anything that doesn't require paraphernalia.

Mild description: Tall, currently blue hair, sporting hoodies over hoodies, and I look like the spitting image of a summer camp counselor. (They/them pronouns, by the by.)

I'm loving all the ships so far. Can't wait to read more!

I have no real limits. Go wild.

I'm shippable with anyone and anything, without limits or restrictions.

I'm exactly as tall as Iximaz, as we found out at the last Gathering, pale, have long blond hair and a reddish goatee.

For those who've been playing along, there is one obvious crack!ship answer...

Marisa: she/her/hers, dark brown hair&eyes, light skin, basically me as a wizard (and presumably more mature).

As I mentioned last year, I'm a pale as frick scruffy nerd in perpetually crooked glasses, my pronouns are male, and I'm okay with literally anything.

Haven't picked up any ship suggestions this year, surprisingly enough, but I'll reply to this comment if I think of any.

This is leafeyes (all lowercase, all one word). Those active in the discord may know me for my talent in finding NSFB fanfic. I doubt I'm going to be shipped, but I might as well put my name in.

I'm a bisexual woman in her mid 20s, about 6'/ 182 cm, VERY thin, normally fair skin but might get to olive skin in the summer. I also have waist length wavy dark brown hair and hazel eyes that hide behind thick glasses. I generally dress "low femme", meaning skinny jeans, flats, and similar things.

Please keep me as a woman and don't ship me with anyone under 20.

That's about it I think.

Something tells me a lot of newer people aren’t going to know who I am, but just know that I’m an oldbie who’s been away from the Board for quite some time.

Since this is me we're talking about, go crazy. My only request is to use he/him pronouns, but I can't imagine that being a problem. I look forward to the horrible, horrible things you all invent!

Suggested Ships:

Mattman/Iximaz
Thoth/Quake, or literally any character/game created by id Software
Larfen/that Indonesian bee that was just discovered. Bonus points if sandwich toppings are involved in some capacity.

I'm male, bisexual, 25 going on 26, Asian, and of an average build with a little tummy pudge and love handles, messy black hair and VERY dark brown eyes, usually with glasses. I have quite a lot of stubble which grows FAST, and my right index fingernail is cracked in two from an accident in my youth. I dress in business casual when out in public, but at home I can more often be found barefoot in a T-shirt and either boxers over briefs or comfy slacks, drowning my woes in diet soda.

I'm available for any ship that doesn't involve minors. Any gender is fine, though be aware that I'm emotionally sensitive and probably won't be okay with being yelled at, scolded, or worse.

One last thing: If you want to get really literal, you can also write me as a Skarmory whose armor plating has a silvery sheen. Be aware though that in this guise I won't be comfortable with being paired with a human, so if you choose to use my Pokemon self, I must humbly request for my partner to be of avian form, preferably in the Flying egg group.

Have fun!

Guy, twenty five years old, a little under six feet, average weight, curly brown hair and blue eyes, not minding any ship you could think about. Go wild, and get the details wrong if you want to.

Description: White woman, tall-ish, thin-ish, hair in an overgrown bob. Usually found in jeans and flannel.

Restrictions: ehhh... Please be careful when it comes to physical scenes with trans bodies? There's a lot of nasty history of trans bodies being exploited for cis audiences. By all means, poke me, we can talk details if you're not sure about an idea. (The usual shipfest silliness has been totally fine, but better safe than sorry.)

There's not much to say about myself without getting a plethora of appearance complexes involved but if you need a description, I'll bullet-point some of the key features:

- 5'10"
- Basically looking like [THIS]
- Skin white like a miller’s son, full of moles (I’ve counted 85). Hands covered with burns and cuts from previous work at McD’s.
- Inability to grow any decent facial or body hair.

And if any of you say "it's what inside that counts"... well, my organs are in a bad condition too, so yeah I win! :P

But sure, SHIP ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!

I probably don't have time to write any of these this year, but I am available for shipping.

Details: Probably a bear or maybe a sasquatch. Slytherin/Ravenclaw (Slytherclaw). Doesn't care who you ship him with.

-Phobos

Hi. I'm Twistey. Cisgender female, she/hers, heterosexual but you can totally ship me with a woman if you want :P I'm not saying anything about my age, but nevertheless, keep it PG.

I'm 5'7.5", with pale skin, green eyes, about chin length brown hair, and glasses. And fire powers, if you decide to count what I do in joke RPs as being part of me. I don't own any clothes that aren't comfortable.

Right, so if Willis happens to opt in and someone other than me writes some cute fanfic of us two, I know we'd both love it. Gonna ask him this, but I'm pretty sure that he'd also let himself be genderbent, for those of you who love femslash.

Not sure what to say for possible setups. I'm trying to set up the idea that my Internet self has a science lab, maybe that could be a thing. I'm also totally fine with being exclamation-pointed or just being in an AU ship fic. Happy shipping.

-Twistey

I'm medium height, fishbelly-pale, on the heavy side, with brown eyes and dark brown hair in a buzzcut. (I'm a girl and I go by she/her, by the way.) I'll leave the rest to you guys.

I don’t do shipping, but I’m totally shippable. Although I don’t believe that I did do anything lately that would inspire somebody to ship me with who- or whatever. And totally old-school here; get it wrong or look around to get it right.

HG

I look like a sad doughnut rolled in barber trimmings and use she/her pronouns to the total bemusement of anyone who's seen the pustulent fleshbag I currently inhabit, but sure, it's always fun. As for ships, Larf/Granz/Tomash OT3 because of the Citation Needed games we run. =]

In lieu of providing actual details (I'm with Nesh - getting it wrong is half the fun!), I asked my phone's predictive text to write about us.

Huinesoron is almost certainly an easy connection for pancakes.
Huinesoron likes almost all the rings.
Huinesoron's hair is looking hectic.
Huinesoron looks very much like March.
Huinesoron's clothes are straight English law enforcement.

Kaitlyn is looking beautifully written.
Kaitlyn loves to get the kids every day, except Tuesday.
Kaitlyn's body is almost certainly not anything standard.
Kaitlyn appears to get translated.
Kaitlyn's the first every day.

I think that tells you all you need to know. ^_^ No limits, no problems, and (in addition to HuineLyn and NeshBosh) I ship Iximaz/Scapegrace for their shared love (not like that!) of Pokemon.

hS

I don’t mind who you ship me with. Early teens, thick brown hair, brown eyes, but I don’t mind that either.

I don’t currently have any ship ideas, as shipping isn’t really my thing to write. I’ll have to learn quickly if I want revenge!

Eek. Don't I have some unfinished Tam Lin thing from one or two years ago...? Well, we'll see how this goes.

I'm in, as I generally am. Please don't ship me with people who are underage, no matter the content or rating (it's okay if we're in the same fic, just...completely separate pairings, please). Other than that, I can't think of any limits that would actually be likely to come up, so...I guess if they somehow do, I'll express my surprise that they showed up at all and ask that it not happen again.

As to details, make up anything you like or look at past Shipfest threads. Probably the main things to bear in mind (if you want any accuracy at all, that is) are that I'm not very tall, and wear glasses but can get around without them if I have to (mentioned mainly because I remember past shipping of everyone with glasses, actually, so why not?).

And I think that's it. The only pairings I can think of right now that haven't already been suggested are for agents, and it's the wrong time of year for *that*.

~Z

I'm opted all the way in, my friend.

As for appearances, I resemble nothing less than the Platonic peak of the male form, that's right:



Or just write me as an anime catgirl or something horrible like that. Whatever is the most embarrassing!

My shipping limits are make it absolutely terrible. The worse it is, the better. I have no dignity. Dunk me into hell. Call me dirty, dirty things.


I'm gonna ship Thoth right here with Pong, the first popular video game. I have reasons to believe that Thoth's feelings of intense desire towards a videogame increase depending on how old that game is and there's no way he could resist the charms of Pong.

Of course I must ship the local PPC nerdsquad together, Thoth and Tomash and Delta and Maslab, chatting about their codes and their numbers and their calculations, disgusting.

And I've got to ship Geema with bleeprin because... the guy must go through so much of it considering the stuff he keeps subjecting himself to.

All in baby

I'm old-school and I think getting the details wildly wrong is half the fun, so I'm not giving any. ^_^ They're out there if you really care about being correct.

I won't be offended at anything as long as it's within the rules.

~Neshomeh

Against my better judgment (also known by the name Anxiety), I'm opting in.

17, heterosexual female, 5'6". Naturally pale as shpx, but thanks to a tan/getting sunburnt only look slightly whiter than Default Caucasian. I've got a rectangle-y body shape and broad shoulders. My hair goes down to my shoulder blades in a thick, curly, dirty-blonde mess, and my eyes are a dull blue but can appear green in certain lighting. Depending on the day, I'm either in jeans and a T or pajamas/similarly comfy clothes. I have fairly plain semi-rimless glasses that are photosensitive, though I can see mostly-fine without them and occasionally forget to put them on in the morning.

So long as it's SFW, I don't particularly mind anything. And unfortunately, I don't think I know anyone else well enough to comfortably put forward any ships.

18/M, White as the driven snow, stocky, covered in to hair to greater or lesser degrees (kinda-sorta-beard-ish-thing-included), probably wearing cargo pants and a sarcastic t-shirt. Or flannel.

I'm not dating anyone, and I may be gay as all hell but we all know that isn't going to stop any of you from shipping me with Cal or Nesh again. Or whoever else you come up with.

Oh, and you can always ship me with big warm cuddly things/people. :-P

Bad Shipping Ideas:
-Larf/The Abstract Concept of Togetherness
-Larf/Dadaism
-Larf/Postmodernism
-Larf/Being Meta
-Granz/A bundle of warm fluff he found
-Granz/An incredibly well-optimized character build
-Granz/Rulebooks
-Cal/Cal
-Cal/Moons
-Cal/Cal/Moons/Extra!Dimensional!Cal
-Tomash/A set of increasingly large matrices
-GMA/Titanfall 2
-Quincy/Yaoi (a hateship)
-Granz/Ships (literal ships)
-Granz/Ships (figurative ships)
-Granz/Anyone who doesn't mind being portrayed as a catboy
-Neshomeh/Phobos but Phobos is a bear
-hS/the works of Tolkien
-GMA/Pheromones

In case the author line didn't give it away, I'm Tomash. I'm one of the resident computer people.

Physically, I'm a guy. I'm 5'7", I wear rather thick glasses that don't quite fix my eye problems. I'm white, slightly chubby, and I have short brown hair. (I'm in my early 20s.)

Ship-wise, I'm open to just about everything. However, please don't genderbend me.

As for potential ships that haven't already come up:
- hS/[the newest Boarder to opt in] - the Oldbie/Newbie ship
- Iximaz/Moons - A werewolf/the moon(s)
- Floof quartet - Cal/Granz/Thoth/Moons
- Scape/just about averyone, featuring implausible kink equipment
- Thoth/[various old video games]
- Iximaz/Maslab - Seals + foxes, what's not to love?
- hS/Nesh - oldbie shuffle ship (along with Katlyn/Phobos)
- GMA/dragons - because we all know that's a thing

Please note: if you're wanting to write my canon ship, please keep it to the Discord/email/PMs.

- Tomash

Is it that time already? Well, alright, then. I will gladly submit myself to the shipping.

Hm... details, details... cismale, and very, very gay. I may or may not have hair, but if I do, it is of some sort of color visible to the human eye, and it is of some amount of length. My skin is a natural human skin tone. My eyes are a color, and I am short, or maybe tall, or maybe somewhere in between. I may be skinny, or overweight, or neither. I typically wear clothes and have a tendency to prefer that which covers more skin - so pants are more likely than shorts, long-sleeved shirts more likely than short-sleeved ones, and jackets aren't all that improbable.

As for ships... well, everything I can think of off the top of my head has been mentioned. Oh, except one.

Nameless Admin/The Board - And yes, I do mean everybody at once.

It is I! Calliope, Our Lady of Yarn, here to ship and be shipped! (And, because I am lazy, to copy and edit my description from two years ago with minor edits because nothing ever changes with me.)

Eighteen years of age, brown hair (shoulderish-length and growing), black-and-purple eyeglasses over green or hazel eyes. I can usually be found in jeans and a tee, plus a jacket of some kind and either tennis shoes or boots, depending on the weather. Or heels. Apparently I'm unusual in that I actually don't find them ungodsly uncomfortable, even stiletto boots. And since it bears mentioning - still a girl. Usually. I really, really don't mind that being changed, though.

Now, then! For ships.

As has been mentioned, I am presently dating Moons. It would be wonderful to see what you people can cook up for the two of us! On the other hand, I couldn't care much less who else you decide to ship me with - Granz and Thoth are the obvious candidates, of course (can you say Floof Trio?), but I'm sure you can find other ways to get creative. Especially if you decide to throw me into a group situation. The only solid limit I can think of is to keep it healthy - even if that means a certain someone doing a redux of The Healthiest Ship.

Of course, I might think of other things to add later, and I'll post those accordingly. But I doubt it. Cheers!

I'm opting in!

Most people around here call me Moons. I'm 5'5" and pretty much skin and bones. Cis female, 16 but looks younger. I have fluffy, light brown, shoulderblade-length hair and green eyes that sometimes decide to be blue. I tend to be in pajamas a lot of the time, but when I'm actually dressed I wear a lot of dark colors, especially navy blue (though not much black). I like dresses, but tend to wear jeans and t-shirts most of the time out of practicality. I have glasses, though I can see decently well without them. I have a Sharpie tattoo on the inside of my left wrist ( a semicolon with the name TAYA written under it in all caps) and make a point of not covering it up. I'm usually wearing novelty socks and a couple of necklaces (pentacle pendant and blue lace agate chips). I usually wear a light blue sweater with a fish-shaped button and an olive green shoulder cape with a Celtic knot clasp. They're both knit, and like most of the other knitwear I own, are heirlooms from my late mother.

I'm demisexual and lesbian. Dating Cal, but feel free to pair me with any of the girls who opt in. I'm also okay with mixed-gender groups IF Cal is also in them. I don't want too much of an age gap, but I'm willing to have my age changed to get around that.

Keep it SF4M and don't hurt anyone too badly and you should be good.

I'm a mom friend and will do anything for cuddles. I've also got a clustershpx in place of my mental health, and a bit of a tragic backstory, so if you want to play around with that for hurt/comfort go ahead.

My ships are the canon ones (hS/Kaitlyn, Nesh/Phobos, Ix/Aegis, me/Cal), the Cal/Granz/Thoth/those people group, Si/Alleb (the ones who manage to somehow be pure), Maslab/Foxbot, Scape/corsets, and GMA/badfic.

Desc: 19 year old white male with some stubble,shortish brown hair, brown eyes with a hint of grey to them. Tall, somewhat stocky, but decently strong. Definitely built for endurance over speed. Red scar on back of left hand. Wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Favors khaki cargo pants and t-shirts, occasionally a grey polo shirt if I feel like being more formal. Male pronouns, heterosexual (as far as I know), [Although last Shipfest that didn't matter so much when the Primarch ships set sail]. Enjoys cuddling with close friends as a demonstration of trust and love, whether platonic or otherwise. I also tend to compartmentalize my more romantic/sexual/softer side to the point where I end up coming across as incredibly stoic or introverted. Also I hate making eye contact for more than a moment or two at a time. Also-also, I'm semi-secretly a hopeless romantic in some ways and cling stubbornly to the ideas of true love. Basically, I'd rather hold hands with the love of my life than sleep with someone else.

Here comes the part where I'd note my limits, but seeing as the two Boarders I'd rather not be shipped with aren't really around much, there's no point other than to announce my proposals for the following ships:

THOTH/GRANZ
CALLIOPE/FOUR MOONS WATCHING [canon]
GEEMA/LIZARDS
THOTH/LIZARDS
GEEMA/THOTH/LIZARDS [Because why not]

I'll append more in replies if I think of any others.

Obviously I have to name the canon ones—hS and Kaitlyn, Nesh and Phobos, me and Aegis, and you and Calliope. :P

I'd also like to put forth:

Larfen/sandwiches
The Nameless Admin/the Board (the physical Board, not, like... everyone at once)
GMA/Smutfic
Granz the Ice Cream Monarch/ice cream

(I'll add some more less cracky ships later, I promise.)

As for me, no limits on who or what I'm shipped with, any and all pronouns are fine. Tall, large hands and feet, short and messy brown hair, green eyes with a gold ring around the pupil (yes, I know, it's very Sueish), and a prominent nose.
