So, why are you personally a shipper? What got you into this couple?
For me, I remember reading on the website of some guy who helped write Clone Rangers... someone had asked him if XR really had a thing for Mira or if he was just flirting with her because he's perverted. He replied he didn't know because he just worked on the one episode.
That gave me a plotbunny, and I wrote a oneshot, and after that the idea wouldn't leave me alone, and I started seeing hints of it eeevvvveeeryyyyywheeeere. And I just... fell in love with the idea. No pun intended. I just think it's sweet and sort of sad, that he likes her and every time he tries to get her attention he just gets a 'lul no'. That's what I see, anyway.
How about youse guys?

Well, when I first started lurking around the fandom, I saw this thing called Marred. And I was like, "What?" Then I found out it meant XR and Mira. I was actually kind of repulsed by the idea. (I had that kind of narrow-minded thinking that XR should only be with a robot.  ) Then ... the idea just kind of grew on me. I hadn't watched many episodes at first, but I looked up the summary for most of them online. (I wanted to know if XR was ever given a love-interest.) Intrigued, I watched 42 - but by the end I was sourly disappointed.  After seeing more intriguing Marred art, fanfics, videos, and the like - I was coming around to the Marred side. Then I watched even more episodes with both Mira and XR teaming up, and I just kind of fell in love with the coupling. ;D So, yeah, that's my story. Not very interesting I'm afraid.  |

I was coming around to the Marred side. The Marred side... we have cookies, lawl XDDD It was actually the very oneshot you mentioned, Kila, that first got me into Marred. I had just started getting into the fandom and was looking for cool fandom-stuff online. I was led to "Confessions" (I didn't get who you were talking about because I hadn't seen Star Crossed XD) but I thought it was cute and sweet. And coming across that fic so early in my experiences with the fandom made me think that it was canon, and I tend to go for couples I think are canon. ^^ Once I start getting into a shipping, I'm pretty much hooked. And then I saw "Everything You Want" - which is still one of my most fav vids of yours ^^ - and the ending made me go awww, poor little guy... And then after that, everything I found out about them just made me like em even more. ^^ |

Well, I just recently got into blosc. I mean, I always liked it as a kid. I remember watching the movie over and over and thinking Mira was so awesome!
But ever since it went off the air, I kinda forgot about the show. But then I found it again by accident on YouTube! I was looking for more on the new movie Toy Story 3, because I have a huge obsession with anything Disney-PIXAR, John Lasseter is my hero! (weird, I know) but then I found these episodes and just started watching them. I soon became hooked.
Anyway, getting back to the topic, I started liking Marred when I read the blosc archive on FanFiction. I was skeptical at first, but then I really started liking it.
What finally put me head-over-heals in love with the pairing is BG's stories. Especially Dare You To Move and I Should Be So Lucky. Both fics really inspired me! Oh, and these two little one shots BG did that focused on XR's eyes and Mira's smile. I liked those fics so much that I printed them out for a smile and inspiration every now and again. Sorry if that sounds really weird. I'm not a creeper, I swear!

Diana, you and I sound like we would get along well. I'm a Pixar nut, as well. XD
Yep, BG's stories are great. She got me into Marred also.

A PIXAR nut! really? YES, I'm not alone! <33333
When I showed my friends my PIXAR-PEDIA, they were all like *just smile and nod.* Can you say awkward?
My brother thinks I'm nuts too, even though he's a certifiable Star Wars geek!
