Pearlshipping has actually won a popularity contest. That was before Amourshipping came out. But the analysis did make good points about Pearlshipping.
However, she ended it with a prediction; Pearlshipping would go down. Well of course it did, Serena came along! Let me assure you that popularity does not affect the relationship itself.
Needless to say, the survey was one of most in-depth Pearlshipping research done; they wanted to pinpoint just was made it special as well. And they did a pretty good job.
I'll leave you a quote from the results:
"I believe now that the longevity of a ship falls heavily on its ability to not only recruit new members, but to keep the old ones around for a long time. It appears that the longest lived ships have stood the test of time because of hard evidence afforded to them by the writers. The most popular ship in this study - Pearlshipping - does not stand on hard romantic evidence, but on the foundation of the pair's friendship and a few swaying hints, and because the fans take pride in that, it stands the test of time. Wishfulshipping is the next one to be tested. It is still on the air, so not much can be said for it. Negaishipping as well. In a few years time, ships like Comashipping, Ikarishipping, and Palletshipping will fall out of favor even more, if this survey has any foot in reality. Advanceshipping and Rocketshipping may not make it either.
So it's obvious - another study needs to be conducted next year. I hope to see you all there!"

need a break from that. I cannot express how much more I appreciate fan-translations of anything now
