Does anyone know what the Draco/Ginny ship is called? I mean we have thge HSM pumken pie for H/Hr and thron and buck for L/J but what is the D/G ship called?


MOD NOTE: Moving this from "D/G Shipping" Forum to "Prof Binn's Library" ~gal-texter 19Nov2003


QUICK REFERENCE:
what do "HMS", "SS", and "ship" mean
why Mai Tai & muffins symbolize the Draco/Ginny ship
HMS Muffin Love - alternate name for the Draco/Ginny ship

theres a list of every ship name on fictionalley.org, dont got exact link for the thread
but the d/g ship is called the SS Fire and Ice

WHAT DOES "HMS" MEAN???

[lots of us are wondering that... ]

HMS stands for Her Majesty's Service, which is what the British have as a title for all of their ships.

HMS stands for Her Majesty's Ship.

*bows down to the almighty Stncold*

Thank you!

I have been wondering for AGES. I mean.. we use the SS Fire and Ice, and that's basically the same thing, so I figured it was something like that. But I felt dumb saying HMS, not knowing exactly what I was saying.

Eh, whats SS then?

Ironically, SS is the same acronym I use for my D/G site, Sugar'n Spice (I'm sure it doesn't stand for that, though). I had no idea! ^^

Haha...first time I saw "HMS" I thought it was "PMS" ^^; Sorry H/Hr fans!

"SS" is the title used on US submarines. I'm not entirely sure what it means but it could be "Submarine Ship". Of course, it might also be short for USS "Unites States Ship".

Eric

Hmm, so nobody knows exactly then, I'm guessing.

Meh. I dunno either, so is Fire and Ice a submarine? I'm so glad we finally found out what HMS means! "Her Majesty's Service".....hmmm.....nifty.

~Ryoko~

I tend to agree with Kerry. SS means Steam Ship. United States Ship would be USS. And now I can add HMS to my knowledge of the ship world, since I always made up what I thought HMS meant and it never made sense. Her Majesty's Service definitely differs from Home Made Soda... lol

Why thank you AlwaysPretending and citrus587

Hey, Kaykos, sky is blue, MalfoyMyFerret (this forum's mods) -

I hope you don't mind if I pin this topic. I've been pinning the origin of our ships' names in their respective forums, for everyone's info.

Everyone, feel free to add comments, more explanations, violent objections, suggested alternatives, and wild speculations on ... tan tan ta nan ...


Why the D/G Ship is called the HMS Fire and Ice

Btw, here's more info on shipping:
Fandom Dictionary -- includes info on how "ship" and other terms acquired their present fandom connotations

And here's one I copied from Fiction Alley Park's SCUSA forum:

Oh yay... thank you everyone for the info!

Home Made Soda? Here's My Ship? Well, you've got more imagination than I have.

I like Here's My Ship. It makes more sense in my mind, but then again my mind's pretty strange....

~Ryoko~

Actually "Here's My Ship" does make more sense...


~Faith~

I chose to read the SS because I thought that it was meant for me "Sami's Ship".


Well it does make a really good ship the SS Fire and Ice

haha.. glad you guys liked my stupidness about HMS... teehee

well it was very clever

Here's My Ship...haha, classic yet sensible ^^

I don't really care what it really stands for, I just know that I SAIL on it

*whispers* i've been wondering...what is OC? *shrink* i feel dumb saying this...

OC is basically a character the author makes up. I'm not quite sure what it stands for...but I've always assumed it was "own charecter". But I've never really asked about this, so I wouldn't know for sure, I just looked at the two letters and assumed.

Who's fire and who's ice? I think I know but I need to check for the coloring on my drawing I'm working on.

Ginny is fire, and Draco is ice.


~Faith~

Thought so. Thanks. Now I can color it!

Haha.. the fire and ice reference can mean their personalities, OR their hair color!

I can't believe I actually took the effort to make such a stupid post.



Kristina

I lack the ability to draw humans. However, I'm fairly good at mythical creatures. So Draco and Ginny are dragons. If my scanner behaves I'll get it up.

OC is Original Character.
i just want to know what AU means... its been bugging the hell out of me!

i think the reason that we refer to D/G as fire and ice is because we all know that draco is cold, and Ginny being a red head makes her stereotypicly fiery. AND she's a weasley known for there fiery tempers!

everyone check out [URL=http://fictionised.net] it's cool, and i write on there... it just needs more members!

waffleprincess

aw thanks... i have been getting so frustrated not knowing what it meant! It really is amazing how many little words and phrases we have in out community of fanfiction!

Can I just make a point to you all?

HMS = HER MAJESTY'S SHIP

Ship, *not* Service

okay I get all those but I just wanted to know why are muffins the mascots of this ship

not that I don't like it...

but why

I read somewhere that they were like pumpkin pie to H/Hr but at least I know the story of that one, about Harry tasting like pumpkin pie

So I was just wondering if we (D/G shippers) have a story like that, like a fic or a challenge, in the "Round Robin 2" I saw a huge use od the fuffly pastry... is that why?, or that was just in honor of the D/G?

I don't think I made any sense i this post maybe I did *crosses fingers*

Ana - Muffins is not the mascot of the D/G ship, although I know Kristina, Faith, Ryoko, Michelle and everyone else wishes it was. Actually, the mascot, or the symbol of the D/G is the Mai Tai.

Mai Tai - I'll have the D/Gers explain that to you.
Muffins - Go here. Again, I'll have the D/Gers explain that to you.

- Nitya, pipsqueak.

You know guys, I'm still confused about this muffins thingy. I know Sakura explained it a while back. But I'm still confused.

But then, who said you can pick only one symbol for your ship? Or name?

Yes, Nitya is right. It's not the mascot, but we deeply and spitefully wish it were.

The muffinfilms site is what sprung the interest in muffins, but what made them a psuedo-mascot is their role in the ultra-huge DLA fic that is currently being written.

Once we start releasing it to the public, you'll understand why we talk about them everywhere.

Ah, so that clears up the Mai Tai and muffins mystery! Thanks, Sakura/Tina!

As for having more than one symbol or name for a ship, we H/H shippers have the same experience. Is our ship's name HMS Pumpkin Pie or HMS Harmony? Me, I prefer Harmony, but I don't mind the Pumpkin Pie name, either.

So... can we make them both?

Please? *puppy eyes*

I want to share the muffins! *nods*


~Ana

PS: I don't care I'll still love muffins!

nods*
I won't let you down!!!!

So when a newbie comes we give him/her a mai tai and a muffin *writting down*

Sakura1287

I just always ignored it and said SS....


Does it matter if you say HMS or SS?

Hmm, I think I'm very lost and don't know what SS stand for...or HMS...Anyone care to fill me in?

I know HMS stands for Her Majesty's ship, and SS, I'm not sure.

But I know someone asked that question earlier in this thread, so check and ye shall find.
