Shipping, the belief that two characters are or should be romantically interested in each other, is one of the best known example of fanon. However, not all [[Shipping:List of shippings|named shippings]] represent fanon theories. While some, such as [[Shipping:RocketShipping|RocketShipping]] are extremely influential theories, others, such as those involving characters who have never met on screen, are neither popular nor influential (and thus, not fanon). In addition, a number of named shippings are humoristic in nature, and not actual theories supported by fans. These, likewise, are not part of fanon.

Likewise, ''confirmed'' shippings, such as [[Shipping:BalanceShipping|BalanceShipping]] ([[Norman]] and [[Caroline]]), who are known to be a couple are canon, and thus not fanon.
