I've just been browsing around the internet and I noticed that Spuffy seems to have the must sites devoted to it. I've found some for other pairings, but numerous ones for Spuffy. Just wondering, if in people who write, vid, and manip fandom if it seems to be one of the most popular ships?

Maybe Spuffy shippers are just the most obsessive.

The three most popular ships in the fandom are Spuffy, Spangel and Bangel, aren't they?

honesty... I think Xangel is a good pairing... 2 self-centered, obsessive men... they are perfect for each other....

Spander is also popular. I have found more Spander stories than Spangel stories. I'd say Spander is more popular than Bangel.

I would say spander goes up and down. Sometimes there will be a lot of people writing spander fics and at other times there seems to be none at all. Bloodclaim (popular spander LJ Comm) is mostly just full of fic searches these days.

Spangel thankfully seems to be going strong.

I have no idea about bangel, that would be a whole corner of fandom I have no involvement in.

Most of the new Spander stories are posted in the authors' live journal. Not everybody post at Bloodclaim. Check out su herald, almost every day I see them linking to new Spander stories.

I would say Spander is still hot. I'm new to the pairing and I find many stories posted each day.

Well it is fall for s/x at the moment which is probably where a lot of the updates are coming from. My friend is a huge spander shipper and she’s been disappointed in the lack of spander over the last year or so.

Maybe it's because she's been an old fan. It's like me with Spuffy, I don't read stories by newbies, I only read stories by writers I know that involve new plots. Same with some old Spander fans, they only read stories by writers they know and trust that involve new plots. Since I'm new to the pairing I read anything writers post, regardless to them being old writers or new writers.
