Distractions

"After the series debuted in fall 2009, it didn’t take long for legions of “shippers” (a term for fans who root for a fictional relationship) to take sides in the triangle. Shippers of Damon and Elena dubbed their couple “Delena,” while those cheering for Stefan and Elena used the term “Stelena.” Websites like DamonandElena.com popped up in support of each couple, as did multiple Twitter accounts and Facebook fan pages. “I think Twilight laid the foundation for this because of the Team Edward and Team Jacob element,” says Plec. For the lead actors——Dobrev, Somerhalder, and Wesley——the shipper phenomenon was a new experience. “I never knew these things existed,” says Wesley, 29. “I would go online and I would see these things and go, ‘What the hell is that?’ ” Some dedicated fans started writing fan fiction, while others produced and edited elaborate YouTube videos to celebrate the best Delena and Stelena moments."
