Perhaps best to have asked that question before the other.

Shipping is a fanon term for oppinions on certain relation ships, between characters, usually romance.

"Ships" are also named after portmanteau's of the characters, for example "SonAmy" which is for fans who believe there is love between Sonic and Amy.
