If Advanceshipping were to actually become canon in the Anime (we're talking, they're definitely together, if not married even, or something to that same said effect), would you still write fanfiction for that particular pairing?
The reason I'm asking is because there used to be this Harry Potter-centric fanfiction site that I'd visit regularly, and there used to be tons of Ron/Hermione fanfics.*SPOILER* However, after the epilogue in Book 7 made it clear that the two of them are married with kids and etc /*SPOILER* there was a noticable drop-off in the amount of fics about them written.
Assuming that this is due to the fact that there is little to virtually nothing left to the imagination about how/if they got together, I was wondering if the same thing would happen to the Pokemon fandom should AAMayL become the real thing. Any thoughts?

Hmm.... that is an interesting question. Seeing as I'm not that big a writer, I shall not answer.

Well where there is a will there is way. It is true that when a couple gets togeter in canon, there is a drop.
I would still write for them, Between two people are dozens of stories that come to mind and with so many people supporting them, many new ideas come into place. So I say yes

I would be interested in writing about them as a couple. If they hook up in the series then a fanfic could be about them dating, how they live their lives as a couple. Not forgetting alternate universes.

Probably. Like Gaiash Ketoji said, not even canon pairings can demolish how the ship is carried along, what happens when it becomes even stronger, or even how the the ship is started to begin with. Just as long as there are ideas to write about, it can be done! ;D |

I've written my AdvanceShipping story, and there will be limited (if any) shipping in the prequel (currently being written) and sequel (it's a bit difficult to have any shipping if the guy is dead, you know)? Heck, Final Challenge didn't even really have that much shipping in it; it's labelled as "A shipping story without the shipping" after all.

There's always the distant future to write about as well.

well... im not sure that i would actually stop writing fics, i'd just look at as a way that supporters of of other pairings with Ash and May stop spamming and insulting us advanceshippers

And it was a great story... can't wait for what happens next/earlier. |

Ima not sure...seriously. I've seen this happen in so many fandoms. Knowing me, I probably wouldn't unless I get hyper-motivated at one point. But it also depends on the type of canon couple they are...

I would, because, considering the world of Pokemon, and the respective ages of Ash and May, there is a lot of obstacles for them to overcome yet that can be written about. Also, you could also write fics about other relationships, such as in my own fic, Time Apart, Time Together (Which I admittedly, have neglected), there is the beginning hints of Drew/Dawn. And, I have plans for Misty further down the road.
EDIT: Also, similar stuff has happened in other fandoms, and yet hasn't stopped the flow of fics about said couple. Take for example the Slayers universe (Which currently has all of my attention). The couple of Lina Inverse/Gourry Gabriev has, in the anime, been outright shown to be canon as of the end of Slayers NEXT. And yet there are plenty of fics concerning the two as a couple.

Many people don't end their fanfics with the couple getting together. One of the things I love most about some of the Advanceshipping fanfics I've read is reading about them when they've hooked up. I would be quite interested in reading a fanfic that is all about their love life.
