Swanfire is more than just a ship to me. It is the thing that brought me to tumblr in the first place. It was the thing that made me stay up till all hours looking for gif-sets on the internet. Trying to find out if other people loved it as much as I did. After running out of fanfictions to read, I was looking for more.
Swanfire gave me hope in happy endings again, because if two screwed up kids could get it together long enough to work out their issues then so could I. I was eagerly awaiting the next episodes of a tv show I had been thinking about quitting due to lack of interest. Neal was charming and every time he and Emma were on screen together I felt like they were stealing the electricity from the room. I felt they were perfect together.
So I sought out people who thought the same, and I found tumblr. I lurked around for a couple of months looking through endless tags. And then I took the plunge. I got an account, and immersed myself in the wonder that is this website. I discovered that I will never be a one fandom only blog, but that I would always go back to what brought me here.
I have looked on as the writers destroyed the thing that I love, but they will never be able to destroy what it gave me. It gave me the knowledge that I am not as alone as I thought I was. Swanfire gave me people I can talk to about my obsession with tv. And it gave me an outlet. But most of all Swanfire gave me hope, and I will fight for that, even if the writers don’t.
Wow, that’s my OUAT fandom life story EXACTLY.
Interesting read…

Brava! I feel like CS shippers aren’t watching the same show…
Well, whatever show they’re watching, apparently they have become one mind with the writing staff for it and can predict everything to come. They are OUAT psychics.
Now I want a OUAT Magic 8-Ball…
