shipper
or ship, shipping it stands for relationshipShipping means others wishing a relationship for you, usually for famous people, like when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce began dating. It's actually a term used on fan sites.
A shipper is a fan of a TV show, movie, etc. that writes or views the principals (the main or secondary characters) as having a romantic and/or sexual relationship that is not within the boundaries set by the particular movie or TV show. Fan fictions written by shippers contain varying degrees of sexual and/or slash content.
Historical perspective: Known as an "X-Files term" it was started by people who believed there was a romantic relationship between Scully and Mulder. One sees this term a lot in chat rooms as there are many X-Files websites (XF) even though the show has been cancelled and only reruns are on the air.
This term is also used by other fandoms. For example, a shipper is a viewer of a sci-fi or fantasy TV show (such as Star Trek, Babylon 5) who writes erotic fiction about fantasized relationships between the show's stars. It is similar to the older fan-fiction term "slash" for the imagined homoerotic pairings (as in Kirk/Spock).
