Can someone sticky this please? :D

I've been thinking about this for a while and after discussing with this briefly with Archaic, I've decided that I'd like to gather some data regarding the demographics of certain ships out there. Introducing the Shipper's Census 2006. This poll will gather data regarding shipping preferences by asking questions such as gender, age, length of watching the anime, etc.

This census will be conducted on Serebii and Bulbagarden. I may want to also engage this census on the PokeCommunity, however, I'm not registered there. If someone can conduct this census there as well, I'll give you my express gratitude.

I'm not sure how I'm going to break down this poll. There's a lot of variables to separate but don't worry about it. I'll think of something. Perhaps I could use Access or some other program to assist me in organizing result data.

So, if you any of you guys reading would like to participate, please reply with this form filled out:

Ships supported (Please place the relationship's name along with the characters involved please):
Favorite characters:
Your gender:
Year since you've been watching the anime:
Age:
Please categorize the ships you support as canon or non-canon:
Please list the ships you consider canon or will be canon, regardless of your own shipping affiliations:
Which one of the ships do you support are you the most passionate about?:

Rules:

- You may only submit ONE ballot per forum on this census. That means you can submit one ballot on Serebii while submiting another ballot here as well.
- Your submission will only count if you are registered prior to January 10th 2006.
- This census will go on until Monday January 31st, 2006. POLLS WILL CLOSE 6:00 PM PST on this date.
- Any data incorrectly entered into the ballot will be IGNORED. I will make sure to inform you that your data has been ignored so you can make the necessary corrections.
- This is a census regarding POKEMON romantic relationships. Any data regarding romantic relationships from other anime, television series, or any other forms of storytelling medium such as Stargate SG-1, Inuyasha, Angel, Star Trek, House, Battlestar Galactica, West Wing, School Rumble, Digimon, etc WILL BE IGNORED.
- No flaming or attacking other people's positions and shipping affiliations. This is a transparent, open source poll in order to ensure that I don't skew the census data with a PokeShipping bias. If you feel uncomfortable answering these questions in public and would like to remain anonymous, please PM me instead.

Like the United States Census 2000 advertising campaign, I'd like to urge you: "Please. Take your census." :-D

Please categorize the ships you support as canon or fanon:
The only one I'd say was canon at some point, at least one sided was PokeShipping. The rest are fanon.

Year since you've been watching the anime:
I think 1998 - whenever season 1 first aired in Britain. I stopped watching two years later, though, and only started rewatching last year.

Age:
20

Please categorize the ships you support as canon or fanon:
Contestshipping (May x Drew) - canon
Rocketshipping (Jessie x James) - canon in season 1
Gymshipping (Brock x Misty) - fanon
Tensionshipping (Drew x Harley) - alas, fanon ;)
Handymanshipping (Tracey x Daisy) - fanon
Pokeshipping (Ash x Misty) - canon in seasons 1-5

Please list the ships you consider canon or will be canon, regardless of your own shipping affiliations:
I consider Contestshipping and Questshipping (Jimmy x Marina) canon at the moment, and probably Orangeshipping (Misty x Tracey), too, though I'm not totally sure. Pokeshipping and Rocketshipping I think were canon in the past, but not any more. Altoshipping, IMO, was canon in the movie where Latias appeared.

Which one of the ships do you support are you the most passionate about?:
Contestshipping.

Possibly Orangeshipping (although I'm less sure about this one)

Advanceshipping I guess. Only because I find it incredibly adorable an endearing. Out of all the ships I support, it's pretty much the only one that has a very good chance of becoming canon. Minamoshipping would be a close second though.

Well, after looking at everyone else's posts, I'm kinda confused about what's canon and what's not canon....

I think I might need to edit my ballot.
