Here's my take on crackships. If the people who support it refer to it as a "crackship," and openly admit to such, then it is one. If a large number of people support it seriously and take offense at the term "crackship," well, then, whether it is or not becomes irrelevent. Insisting, against protest of it's supporters, that a certain ship is "crack" doesn't do anything but offend people. So, probably best not to do it. If it serves no purpose but to start fights, cause dissent, and upset folks...then out of manners just don't do it.

You're all wrong and confuzzled What everybody seems to be reffering to as "crack" is infact an acid pairing: Acid PairingGenerally done in humor and parody, these pairings take two (possibly more) characters that, under normal logic, would never be romantically involved. These pairings range from just plain odd to paraphilia (i.e. Harry Potter and Dobby the House Elf). These pairings can be present in anything from AU fiction to cross overs, and are generally never taken seriously. Does Zutara fall under "acid pairing" I think not... CrackShips/CrackFicsA form of fanfiction in which characters are put in very random, nonsensical situations, and most often are all OOC. Its name, derived from the drug, uses the irrationality from the high as an example of what to expect in the piece. Such stories are often written and posted to the internet on the spur of the moment, and are usually laced with in-jokes amusing only the writer and a small circle of the writer's friends. Also known as a sugarfic, probably from the author's notes that the story was written on a "sugar high." There's a difference. Zutara just seems to fall under fanon for now^^

@feng Shui: I've never heard the term 'acid pairing' ever, and most of the good crackfics/pairings I've read are the ones that are IC, regardless of rediculousness. But hey, to each their own since I'm a bit strange anyway who likes some logic in her crack.

Hmm... that's one of my pairings, but I know I didn't originate it. ^^oh heck no...eh well maybe they're both so sweet BORING...well I can give props 4 someone to make it fun ...don't challenge me, I will do it. I love taking pairings that are considered boring and adding some interest to them.

I've heard Teo and Katara. I don't where this came from. Uh that's kind of my fault. I said back before the second season started that I would ship Kateo if Katara couldn't be with Zuko since Teo was more acceptable to me than Aang. He is like Aang decaf.

@feng Shui: I've never heard the term 'acid pairing' ever Really? It's a term some what used in fanfictions, or so I've been told. Since it and crack have similarities in their meanings, writers have simply used the term "crackpairing" instead, when there are if only slight but significant differences in their meaning. But I didn't write these definitions. There just terms the writers themselves have made up. "Acid Pairing" should be recognized more though... Have you just used "logic" and "crack" together in the same sentence?! Wow, never thought it was possible, lol.

Zuki (Zuko/Suki) is my new crack. I loves it so.
I also like Ursa/Hakoda, for some reason. ^_^ And Zhao/Azula, my first crack love.
