Anyone have a favourite ship? Two charries you must see together? Post them here and why. Shipping discussion is always so much fun!

CANDY AND MALINGO. They are SOO ADORABLE! Unfortunately, I think they'll probably just be best friends... Malingo is a major character, but he is a character more "important" people like kings and queens i the Abarat would overlook. Candy seems more likely to end up Christopher Carrion, which I think is possible, but only if Christopher Carrion completely changes his ways... and that would include losing many, many of his fans.
I REALLY hope Candy does not end up with Finnegan, but that maybe Finnegan dies and Princess Boa parts with Candy's soul and they'll end up together, because Candy probably doesn't love Finnegan, Princess Boa does. And as it hinted before, Candy probably had magic inside her before Princess Boa's soul was infused with hers.
However, going back to Mister Malingo, he has become a captain of a ship, and has been there every step of the way! He's even a magic user, just like Candy. I think there's hope yet! =P

Also, I have an inkling feeling that the Johns will end up with Geneva Peachtree =P It'd be nice to see those cuties end up with someone... and even though Two-Toed Tom announced that everyone falls in love with her for a split second, I think that they're a likely couple! =P

The Johns and Geneva... XD That's such an... "interesting" mental image. lol
I don't have any particular ships, but thinking about it, Candy and Malingo would go together quite well. Cuuute! As long as she doesn't end up with Finnegan, I'm happy.
And I've been thinking lately, Christopher and Finnegan have to be at the very least in their mid-30s; they'd have to have been 18 or older to be getting married to anyone. I doubt that even in the Abarat teenagers would be ruling islands and marrying and allying themselves. Anyway, that would make both men twice as old as Candy, and either of them ending up with her for any reason is something that could only happen in fanfic, because anywhere else, even in discussion, that's a very wrong sort of thing in the modern world. I still want Chris to get the girl, though, but it's not likely to happen, without, as you said, him changing completely. I can still dream, though. ^-^

Yeah... I thought about that.... that would be pretty disturbing, considering they're probably about as old as her dad. What scares me is that Candy like.. was staring at Finnegan and stuff and blushed that one time. Good thing Mister Mischief interrupted! >D But still... I hope Christopher ends up with a happy ending... I feel so sorry for that poor guy...

I heard some from somewhere that the John mischief is actually married and there will be a scene with him and his wife in the the next book. Though this could be a rumor...

Das crazy talk! Well, I wouldn't really know, but Mischeif said that they weren't attached when Tom? asked if they had a girl. Hmmm... Yeah... I thought about that.... that would be pretty disturbing, considering they're probably about as old as her dad. What scares me is that Candy like.. was staring at Finnegan and stuff and blushed that one time. Good thing Mister Mischief interrupted! >D But still... I hope Christopher ends up with a happy ending... I feel so sorry for that poor guy... Eee, bad Finnegan! Go away! Poor Chris, he needs some love. ^-^

Yeah, Clive Barker said in an interview that John Mischief is married, although I was wondering about the whole thing with Geneva, because when the men were talking about her he said he didn't have a girl. Although he could have just been lying or something. Whatever.
I really like Candy and Malingo together. ^_^ Malingo is the only character I really want to see Candy end up with... he's so sweet and it's obvious they love each other even if it isn't romantic love.
My username kind of means two things... a slasher like.... Freddy Krueger or a slasher like... a fangirl who supports slash. So... of course I like Abarat slash, too.

Yeah I think I probably heard that thing about Mischief from you Abaratianxslasher! hehe.
I wouldn't want Candy to end up with Malingo lol... they are like best friends.. and that would totally be weird if all of sudden u were being romantic with your best friend... eek. hehe.

That's like saying "Eek! Mulder and Scully!" or "Eek! Willow and Xander!" ... I suppose the latter is sort of eek, not for lack of cuteness, but Willow and Tara were adorable together.
AHEM. Sorry. lol I've suspected that Malingo might be having a crush on Candy. They'd undoubtedly be cute together, although a little odd-looking... o.O My "Let Carrion get the girl!" side is arguing of my "How cuuuute!" side on this issue.

I agree that Carrion definitely needs some love, but I think that Candy and Malingo would have a much better relationship than Candy and Carrion. I also think that everyone is forgetting Malingo's conversation with Finnegan in the second book... Malingo needs love too! Just as much as Carrion, in fact, maybe even more. I'm sure we're all familiar with the quote "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all".

Bah. My buddy JB keeps trying to convince me that's true, but I just won't listen. If you're gonna lose, why love at all?
*cough* I know a way we can solve this to everyone's satisfaction. Carrion/Quiffin! Except nobody knows what's happened to him, and I don't think he'll like Chris for killing his sister... Dangit! No way to solve this to everyone's satisfaction...

OH MY GOD. Did you get that pairing from me or did you just think of it? Hahah. Because I love that pairing so much, my two Abarat fics are both Carrion/Quiffin! I'm such a slasher.

is it candy that doesnt like carrion or is it boa? i mean if its candy that doesnt like carrion then there is no way they'd get together. if candy and carrion dont get together, no one is going to get together. end of story. any other pairing would be awkward to say the least.

LOL, I so think Carrion deserves some love! ;D ;D ;D Unfortunately, I can't find an original character that would suit him. I can't ship him with anyone! *flails* BUT I've had a fanfic-idea since I read the first book. In which he gets some lovin'. *nods* Princess Boa? NO! Princess Sunshine wants her redhead knight, let them live in peaceful harmony forevermore... LOL Candy? Mmmmmaybe... but probably not. There's just zero interest. *pokes her*

Malingo & Candy would be nice, but Carrion & Candy's better. Though that's kind of an issue with Boa. Maybe If Boa & Finnegan was worked out some how...

I think Malingo/Candy would be odd because it seems like they love each other, but in a best-friend sort of way. There are still three books left, and rumor has it that the third will be gargantuan. Maybe there's room in there for both Candy and Carrion to grow in the right direction :3

As much as I love Malingo, I just can't ship him with Candy. He's just too nice and perfect for her, that there just wouldn't be any drama! I've rather see Candy with one of the more troublesome men, just for more tragic and heartaching time. So I'm shipping Candy/Carrion, Candy/Pixlar, Candy/Letheo, Candy/Quiffin (but with boa gone obviously, or ew, incest...) But prehaps Abaratian has convinced me about slash pairings, I'd like to see some more of that! ;D
