Luna's ultimate discovery of [[shipping]] happened once she discovered "yaoi" in 1999/2000, and began with ShiShi, or {{s|PalletShipping}}, on Ruaki's (now defunct) website DigiPark. This lead to her finding the [http://www.geocities.com/anyshippers/ Anyshippers] website, and realizing this...was going to be fun.

It went all downhill from there. To finding various groups of 'ship names splashed everywhere (the at-the-time most current was on the Anyshippers Yahoo! Group, to her knowledge) to making her first actual submission to the older-and-gone BMGf 'Shipper List thread (BTW, that was Honorshipping), she was and ''is'' (for a lack of a better way to say it) latched onto the damn thing at the hip. She even met Blackjack Gabianni through the Anyshippers Group.

Having joined since mid-2003, making many a submission since (including {{s|OriginShipping}}), it came to a point where...she got really adamant (read: annoying) with pointing out the List errors and was promoted to Modship to take over the List-keeping. ...Then MondoTR vanished, leaving the poor girl to Mod alone, without really knowing what to do with her shiny new powers. Drama Attack, go!

And as many a victim can attune to, she's a tempermental mod. Never did know how to play nice. Oops?

...Now aside from that, Luna is militant upon protecting the List's integrity and purpose. She's not afraid to beat people around to accepting what's on there is (more or less) Law, for all reasons to prevent confusion and keep unity over what something is called. It's a reference, an ever-growing reference that should be used, not neglected, and people who ignore using it when they know it exists...are unhealthy for the romantic side of the fandom.

She vehemently protected Towershipping when Ash/Anabel fans wanted to call it that (when it had been Rafe/Ash since the Deoyxs movie), until it was finally settled to {{s|AbilityShipping}}. She fought to save {{s|LagomorphShipping}} from people who didn't like the word ''lagomorph'', until that calmed down as well. She denied people trying to peg Lucas/Dawn as Shinoushipping when it was already {{s|FortuneShipping}}, and is ''glad'' Shinoushipping is scarred with both Lucas/Dawn and Ash/Dawn, preventing people from saying that there's a pattern to follow when it comes to region names and the couples they represent.

She will fight for that List, until she finally grows tired and retires (and personally, she's hoping she will, too, soon).
