As you've noticed, I haven't been as active as I used to be. Somewhat due to more classes I've been taking and new interests (I just picked up the guitar and piano biggrin ). Mostly due to new shipping however, sorry to say but Harry Potter is over and thus H/Hr has come to an end. It'll always the best the pairing to us but alas that doesn't change a thing to the potterverse.
To keep this more active and to recruit more members, I'll be starting a poll and taking suggestions into whether or not we should convert this guild from a strict one pairing guild to a guild that supports all undershipped or underdog pairings.
We've plenty of donations to start a subforum dedicated soley to H/Hr by the way, if we do convert this guild into a general shipping.
Edit: Also, at the end of this poll I'll probably be doing what it asks. For the last option, it'll auto-count as a pro-change vote if there's a tie or if there's not enough votes.

Yes, I'm replying to myself because I love stroking my e-ego. sweatdrop
I vote to convert this into a general shipping guild because it'll get me active in this stuff again. If we were to do this I would definetely start merging other people in and create Sub-Guilds for specific shipping. Keep in mind that it can be any shipping but mostly I would like it to be undershipped or the underdog pairing (or a crack pairing).
Examples:
Takeru/Hikari vs Daisuke/Hikari (Digimon 02), Daikari would be the underdog pairing. We could have both but Daikari would be more underdog and so I would most likely go for that.
Ichigo/Rukia vs Ichigo/Orihime (Bleach), I would go for IchiOri because it's the undershipped (not necessarily the underdog.) We could have both but I would be more inclined for Ichigo/Orihime (that and they remind me strongly of H/Hr.)
Negi/(Nodoka or Asuna or Evangeline or etc) vs Negi/Setsuna (Mahou Sensei Negima!) This is what you call a crack pairing, even though I think it probably won't happen I've seen interaction even though Setsuna will most likely end up with Konoka. (Which I don't mind, I just don't find it as awesome as Negi/Setsuna.)
Other Shipping Examples:
Light/Misa (Death Note)
Tai/Sora (Digimon 01/02, this pairing basically got the smack like we did)
Naruto/Sakura (Naruto, it's undershipped compared to NaruHina & SasuSaku)
Lee/Tenten (Naruto, Just not noticed at all)
Luffy/Robin (One Piece, there's interaction there just people dislike the large variance in age)
the list can go on for a while...
By the way it doesn't have to apply to just anime/manga, it can apply to TV/Shows, Movies (coughjackelizabethcough), Cartoons and even Books.

Sorry I haven't been doing any changes like I said I would. Busy keep up our two threads. sweatdrop I know what you mean... I've been floating in other ships even though Harmony remains my OTP. heart
Even if the pairing didn't happen, but there were plenty of insinuations in the canon, would it still be considered canon? Ex. Heero/Relena from Gundam Wing; Van/Hitomi from Escaflowne; Haku/Chihiro from Spirited Away, etc.

Ex. Heero/Relena from Gundam Wing; Van/Hitomi from Escaflowne; Haku/Chihiro from Spirited Away, etc. Even if a pairing is canon, if its undershipped there's always a place for it. I personally liked Mugen/Yatsuha from Samurai Champloo and I think it's more canon then Mugen/Fuu because Yatsuha actually announced that she would get Mugen to marry her. So here's a case (somewhat similar to the others) that's canon but undershipped. We support it! Howl/Sofie (Howl's Moving Castle) anyone?

Oooh! Me! Me! [/raises hand and jumps]
My Miyazaki OTP! heart Not enough fanfiction.
I'm a Jin/Fuu shipper myself...
What should our slogan be? "A Haven for the Undershipped and the Underground (Noncanon)"?
Will you be taking care of our banners and whatnot then?

So I'll let our more artistic members take care of it. Perhaps a collage of various parings (with H/Hr in the middle of course!) and our slogan in the middle somewhere.

i could try to make a banner in my computer class. We're using firewroks right now, but I would need to know what ships to look up pictures for.

If anything, we need more fanart than collage banners. Since they're undershipped there's less material to work with (but the stuff you do find is usually high quality biggrin .)

Guild conversion, definitely. =]
As you guys have seen, I haven't been much active at all. O__O Haven't logged on in months actually.
I'm happy to see a new private message when I logged on 2 minutes ago.
Perhaps, this guild could be turned into a non-canon shipping guild? To show some love to those whose hopes and dreams will never be fulfilled, save from fanfiction. ( ;
Either way, I support the final decision. =]

Either way, I support the final decision. =] I think we should welcome all ships that simply don't have the numbers to compare to other ships. So there will be the giant hulking galleons of the forums (R/Hr, H/G, Konoka/Setsuna, Sasuke/Sakura) then we'll ride in our inteceptors, cruisers and other fast ships in a giant fleet and overthrow those large ships! We support undershipped underdog canon & non-canon pairings!

Sweet! It's really sounding to be a full out war! whee
Which pairings you going to use for our symbol? I suggest pairings that are pretty popular with some obscure ones lingering in the background. Maybe that way we'd appeal to the majority first and then recruit once we do some digging.
Yaoi + Popular Fandoms = unsuccesful
They usually have their own guilds anyways. crying

Yaoi + Popular Fandoms = unsuccesful They usually have their own guilds anyways. crying Yaoi in general isn't undershipped, if anything it's usually the prominent coupling in any situation. Even compared to our nemesis they're extremely overpowering. http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=H/D&word2=R/HrI think the guild conversion will happen near the beginning of April. Most likely during the weekend on a Saturday, it'll have been approximately 2 weeks since I announced it and I think the guild will change. To get ready for the re-opening of the guild the graphic artists should start working on those banners! Also for everyone else, your job to is to find an undershipped pairing and then post it in a thread that either I or the crew/vice-captain will create in the the guild forum.

Ahh I dont know.I'd like it to stay the way it is because of fear of anyone coming into our subforum and dissing us and them being a guild member, that would hurt.But then I feel selfish and guess I should just trust that the members will be polite enough.But all the couples you've suggested as examples of an undershiped pairing I dont like and the pairings that are overshipped I like.So if it does change I'd wouldnt explor many of the threads and such.My pairing choice is which side I see likes/loves them first or which charatacter has unrequired love seeing as how I can relate.But then I feel guiltly and selfish keeping the way it is and not letting it open to posabilaties.Sadly I doubt I can be swayed from my shipping choices.

It's fine, everybody is entitled to ship what they believe in. You shouldn't feel guilty about not wanting to be outside your comfort zone, if something makes you feel good then you shouldn't feel bad possibly having it partially removed. On a sidenote I made a quick banner (about an hour, mostly from trying to find a fanart.)  Biscuit points to those who can name all the pairings in this banner. :3
