User blog:DJ Spenstar/My thoughts on TDIn couples so far

What is a TD fanfic without romances? Drma, that's what. Drma is Drama without the "a", as in incomplete Drama. I knew this when writing TDIn. I did give up on finding someone for Amy, instead I'm going to put someone else with Zeke. I'm also coming up with Shipping names for them.

Eva and Noah: It was easy for me to develop EvaXNoah, because I didn't have to. Eva and Noah got a lot of bonding time first season, so I could afford to put them on opposite teams for this. I'm especially satisfied with evidence of their obvious relationship in Chapter six. I liked that a lot. Chapter five worked too, that really set the stage for the whole thing. If I have Noah stay longer, I'd be more than happy to have this relationship continue on it's course, or I can have either Eva or Noah leave soon. Who knows? EvaXNoah = JailShipping. Their first seen make-out session was in the "jail" of Capture the flag.

Cathy and Cody: Just last chapter they officially became a couple, after Craig humiliated Cathy and Cody comforted her, only to have him admit his feelings for her. Cody has always been sympathetic towards Cathy, because, at first, Cathy needed a friend, and Cody wanted to be that friend. I can only guess that eventually Cody developed feelings for her, and she for him. It works well with Craig, because when Craig hurts Cathy's feelings, Cody is there for her. I like writing for this relationship. I'm planning on writing more about Cathy's side of the coin in later chapters, as we haven't seen as much of that as Cody's side. CathyXCody = RoastShipping. Craig offended them both with what was origionally a roast, and then they hooked up.

Spense and Julie: So far, all we've got is a hug in chapter three and a diary in chapter six. So far, I'm not developing as much for this couple as I wanted to by now, but the best relationships didn't start early on as well. DuncanXCourtney was a Flict at first, not a Ship, so yeah. Then again, I always have other ships to start late. Since this couple is still up in the air, I don't have a ship name for them yet.

Damien and Daisy: I don't even know if this is really a couple, if that's what I'm planning. In chapter one, the reason why they became fast friends is because of Daisy's kind attitude and nice disposition, not necessarily because of any crush. And yes, onlookers of the soccer game found them to have great chemistry, but that's only the opinions of fellow Spiders and Mosquitoes. I may or may not make these two a couple, I may or may not put them with others. Who knows? Okay, one person probably knows for sure. NO TELLIN, SUNSHINE! YA' GOT THAT? Again, no ship name, yet, or ever.

Katie and DJ: Duh I'm making these two a couple. Katie, not Halle and Amy, just Katie convinced DJ to vote out Harold. Halle's seen the way DJ looks at Katie, now and first season, so not making these two a couple given what I've got would be just plain stupid. This would be very interesting to write for, because so far, Katie is under an alliance, while DJ isn't, and at any time, especially in the merge, Katie and DJ may very well have to go against each other. Certainly one with no definite road in sight. Again, no ship name.

Zeke and mystery girl: Okay, I gave up on Amy, but Zeke, not so much. I'm against HotTubShipping all the way, and I think Zeke getting a girl, when he not so long ago was a sexist, would really be, well, something, I just can't put a word on it. Up until now there has been no signs of this relationship, and I like the fact that this is less of an obvious relationship and more of a mystery to solve. What if Zeke likes someone mentioned above? What if I pull a LucasXVeronica and make the love unrequited? I can do a lot with an almost blank slate. I'm looking forward to solving this mystery, slowly, over time.
