Welcome all, polarshippers and non-polarshippers! (though if you aren't a polarshipper, what are you realy doing here?) My name is Darkrunner. I am a polarshipper. Over the years, I've read many polar fanfics, watched many polar AMVs, and looked at many polar fanart pictures. One time when I was searching for new polar things, I wished that there was a website out there where there was just a big catalog of all the best polarshipping on the internet. I went through all my favorites on ff.net, youtube, animemusicvideos.org, deviantart, and some other places, and put together THIS. A comprehensive list of all the polarshipping on the internet.
Even as devoted a fan as myself cannot possibly find all the polarshipping there is, though. If you have a favorite polar fic or fanart that is not listed here, send me a link and I'll post it ASAP. If it is a fic/AMV with other pairings, please tell me what they are so I can put it in the appropriate category.

Enjoy!


CLERKS AND LIBRARIANS WANTED. Anyone who:
-knows how to pimp an unsubscribed devart page
-likes polarshipping and will help find stuff
-can catalog information
-wants a place to show off their own polar stuff

SEND ME A NOTE OR COMMENT THE LIBRARY. Payment options currently include fanfiction. (of any pairing, but polar would obviously be my specialty) Or even better yet, you could do it just for the sake of helping me.


Last Update: July 25, 2008
