"Hint of Connection" 
Words: Maureen S. O'Brien, 10/29/97
Music: ttto "The Rainbow Connection"

Why are there so many fans who are shippers, 
And few on the friendship side? 
Shippers see visions, pursuing illusions 
Producers have often denied. 
That's what we've seen, and we choose to believe it. 
Maybe it's love...wait and see. 
We know we'll find it -- each hint of connection -- 
Romantics and fanfics and me. 

Who knew that every word could be heard and answered 
In vignettes and fan art and songs? 
Who would've thought of that, and who would believe it? 
Could so many shippers be wrong? 
What are we needing, that keeps our hearts bleeding 
For couples that weren't meant to be? 
We know we'll find it -- each hint of connection -- 
Romantics and fanfics and me. 

Caught in a cultural spell, 
We even love love that is tragic....

Have you been fast asleep or only daydreaming 
Or were those scenes really on screen? 
Was that the sweet feel of justified fandom? 
It was, for some series I've seen. 
I've sensed this too many times to ignore it. 
Don't think I'm out of my tree. 
We'll know we'll find it -- each hint of connection -- 
Romantics and fanfics and me. 

Caught in a cultural spell: 
Harm/Meg and Harm/Mac and Harm/Me.
