This is what happens when fans want the actors who play certain characters on a show to get together because their on- (and sometimes off-) screen chemistry just makes them look so gosh-darn cute. If someone actually has the gall to suggest this to an actor personally, expect an irritated I Am Not Spock response to follow. There are generally three kinds of real-person shippers: the ones who know that it's all just fiction and ship it for fun/because it's hot; the ones who think there really is some Unresolved Sexual Tension to be had but know that it most likely won't ever get resolved (and proceed to ship it for fun/because it's hot); and the ones who truly believe that the people in question are copulating like bunnies when the cameras are off. A fan of the latter type is known derogatorily in some circles as a "Tinhat" and can often be recognised by their conspiracy theories about evil PR people/network execs/whatever forcing the two actors to keep their relationship a secret. Note that the fact one or both partners may be in a relationship or even married to other people, or perhaps are even of incompatible sexual orientation, is irrelevant. In the case of co-stars (particularly those acting out romantic or implied-romantic or UST-related storylines with each other), actor shipping is often a reflection of how well they're doing their jobs as actors, so not all tropes are bad in that case. In either case, sometimes these ships will actually set sail. Cue delighted Squee, and maybe an I Knew It!. Can be part of a Real-Person Fic. Romance on the Set is when this happens for real. See Real-Life Relative if the actors are already romantically involved. Not to be confused with Shipper on Set, where actors ship characters in a work they star in. |

Channel Awesome RPFs such as Doug/Lindsay (which is usually a lot sweeter and fluffier than Critic/Chick, Lindsay/Nella and Noah/Lewis show up in the Channel Awesome Kink Meme from time to time. The people responsible are doing it mostly for laughs, though. Doug is the Launcher of a Thousand Ships of the RPF portion of the fandom. As he's freely admitted to be The Tease, and owns the hoyay page, it's considered acceptable though. Plus, like Liz below, his wife is a Yaoi Fangirl as well, and he's joked that the Slash Fic has helped their marriage. Part of the reason Iron Liz was accepted by the female TGWTG fandom is because she has admitted to reading (and enjoying) some of the fanfiction about her boyfriend and his fictional counterpart Linkara. |

Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca has performed frequently with French tenor Roberto Alagna, starting from a production of Carmen in 2009, and have since performed together in many operas. Garanca herself has said that they help each other bring out their acting and singing skills, and are comfortable to perform alongside one another. | |

Carmilla the Series: Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis, who play Laura and Carmilla, get shipped enough to have a Portmanteau Couple Name: Negovanman. The fact that they're good friends (and openly bi) in real life helps. On the non canon sides of things, the actresses who play Lola and Mattie — Annie Briggs and Sophia Walker, respectively — get this as well, though it's not as ubiquitous as Negovanman is. Again, a ship name exists: Wriggs. |

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: Lizzy Bennet and Mr Darcy is a canonical paring, one of the most beloved in literature, and fans of the show embraced re-imagined Lizzie and Darcy. The leads appeared in many hang-outs and they did together several interviews. The imagination of avid fans ran wild in pairing Ashley Clements and Daniel Vincent Gordh, even though the two told them mildly that they didn't wish it. As if that ever stopped crazed fangirls and fanboys. | |

Fifth Harmony fans are really into shipping Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui (Camren) together even years after Camila left the group. It got to the point that Lauren said it made her uncomfortable. | |

The Prom: Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle McCalla, who play onstage Official Couple Emma and Alyssa, are often shipped together by fans. Their strong friendship, physical comfort with each other, and goofy antics (including a tendency to kiss each other in public for fun), as well as both actors confirming their bisexuality, have not gone unnoticed by fans. | |

With Wild Kratts, it's Chris and Martin. Both with the surname Kratt. That is not an accident. Thanks to the Periphery Demographic from the Kratts' previous shows, Kratts' Creatures and Zoboomafoo, there is fanart. And fanfiction. Considering they're not just cartoon characters, could also count as a Real Life example. | |

While covering the Euro debt crisis on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update", Seth Meyers tongue-in-cheekly declared himself a shipper for German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Nicolas Sarkozy, dubbing it "Germance" (that is, Germany and France): "How great is this pairing? They couldn't look more like a German woman and a French man if they were cartoons in a Tintin book." SNL has done a few sketches portraying Merkel as a Stalker with a Crush on Barack Obama. |

In some My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan circles, there are those who ship Andrew Francis and Britt Mckillip (the voices of Official Couple Shining Armor and Princess Cadence respectively) together based on how good they seem to look together in some conventions. | |

Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin have been best friends since Evita, and have a show that they tour together. As a result, a lot of fans seem to ship them, despite the fact that they are both married. | |

Ever since they performed together in La traviata in 1951 in Sao Paulo, Greek soprano Maria Callas and Italian tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano became one of the most popular couples in the operatic world of the 20th century, performing and recording together many times afterwards. Callas herself said that he was her favourite singing partner, and there were even rumors of a romance between the both of them. | |

American Idol had a rather impressive collection of Real Person Fics (note: an account is needed to even read the forum), many of them romantic in nature. It doesn't seem to have anything past season 11, though... possibly because unlike the original producers, the current ones have no ban on Romance on the Set, which led to the first season of the revival producing multiple couples. | |

Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess - the Phantom and Christine Daaé for The Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies - has a sizable fanbase. (Their portmanteau is Rierra.) Ramin is aware of the fandom and tweeted about it, and the shippers went crazy when the two of them dueted on the song Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars in Sierra's vlog. It is also apparently a requirement that they cameo in each other's Broadway.com vlogs and sing together. (Ramin appeared on both Daaé Days and Going Bridal, Sierra appeared in Vlogger 24601). | |
