shipper

n. (from fandom)

  1. One who is interested in personal dramas, especially in media.

You remember how the X-Files fans, they were divided into the shippers and the non-shippers? … There were the people who were into the relationship between Scully and Mulder…. I feel like I am squarely a shipper. In any story, I’m a shipper. —Ira Glass, “Ira Glass of This American Life,” The Sound of Young America
