I'm not a big fan of drama in scooby to really care. I watch mainly for humor and some character development.

I wonder who voted "I would go on a murder spree if that happened." Seems pretty much like... a really bad idea.

People know I'm Fraphne. I don't hide it. But IMO it's foolish to say you'd quit watching. At the end of the day, the writing is what keeps me watching. If writings bad I don't care who's with who. I'm done.

Well, I liked the pairing a lot during the 80s. If they changed it up in a new version and added more Shaggy X Daph stuff I'd be fine with it. Over all, after MI I'm kind of sick of romance between the gang. It's bad enough they keep adding annoying Daphne's X Fred subplots in newer flicks, man that's getting old and annoying now. I just want things back to the way up was, no Fred getting jealous or Daph reverse role.

Well I think the films.should drop their Fred/Daphne subplots but don't agree they should replace one subplot with another as all it will do is annoy a different set of fans. No relationship subplots, nobody gets annoyed. How about giving each member of the gang a stable off-screen relationship instead?

I can't see any lasting unless they give a main character a same sex relationship as that would bring buzz. Otherwise it's developing a pointless character who no one cares about. Shaphne subplots would be easier than Fraphne as they wouldn't share the screen to much and it can just be a throw away line.

It doesn't have to be, after all at work I have a 'off-screen' relationship with my wife. It is down to the skill or the writer. I wouldn't mind some Shelma sub-plots while we're on the subject.

I'd like to see Fred and Velma have off screen relationships bit because Shaphne was all but confirmed by the end of the original run I'd like to see it shown in at least one movie. This isn't the topic for Shelma!

This isn't the topic for Shelma! I know but we can all wish things... That aside I think there are aspect of the team's relationships that should be explored more, as you dais Daphne and Velma - do they hang-out with each other or are they there just for the travel and the mysteries? Even without the baggage of relationships there is a lot more that could be done to flesh out their lives.

^ WNSD basically stated that Fred Scooby and Shaggy and Daphne and Velma were roommates respectively. Now then obviously i'm so Shaphne it's not even funny. Shaphne was pretty much alluded to in everything from WAY-WNSD (and if Daphne had been a main character in GAC, i'm sure she would've gotten that treatment too) with a side order of Frephne, the only thing missing in WNSD oe even 13 was a ring on Shaggy and Daphne's fingers or even having shown their bedroom and sharing a bed since obviously a ring would easily get lost on a road trip. Next Frelma is also my second preferred pairing (and Scooby/Amber or whatever you call it Scoober?/Amby?) seeing as Velma has indirectly stated that she's got a thing for Fred more than Daphne does. Velma behaves very much like Fred when he goes off with other ladies just as Fred when Daphne goes off with other guys, both are the leaders and brains of the group and are quite literally the strongest ones in MI (velma's been shown to know wrestling just as much as Fred's bench pressed and done other sports that aren't running or gymnastics), Velma's jumped into Fred's arms the way Shaggy and Scooby will jump into Daphne's or Scooby into Shaggy on occasion, but Velma takes it a step farther and turns herself enough to be able to appear to hide behind fred, same style of thinking even catch phrase borrowing!, oh just watch Pup and WNSD and you'll see why Frelma and Shaphne are the most logical course of action for relationships. Shelma and Frephne are like sibling pairings in my eyes and therefore slightly creepy.

I had very vague memories from the New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo show/New mysteries until i re-watched it recently, but 13 goshts was clearer and thought the absence of Fred and Velma was a little strange, i loved the new team. When i was little i didn't imagine Shaggy and Daphne might have been a couple, because i had know the first series and i was aware of the Fred/Daphne relationship (without thinking they were an official couple neither) and know Daphne and Shaggy were old friends, so i thought they were still old friends. I saw Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby as three best friends, i couldn't really forget Daphne was attracted to Fred before, even if he had left, so i didn't imagined she was with Shaggy. Now, as an adult, i see it a little differently, because it's true two humans with two dogs and later a child who are always together, lives together, travel together, did almost everything together, is rather strange if there are not a couple...I'm still not sure they were, in the New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo show/Mysteries, Daphne seems a little too bossy towards Shaggy to be a couple. She was less in 13 goshts, but in the previous serie she sound more like the leader of Shaggy than a woman who loves him. They are close, it can seems normal since they know each other since a long time, but i am not sure she loves him that way, she seems rather detached. I thinks Shaggy may have been attracted to her, on the other hand, but i am not sure the feeling was mutual, and Shaggy will always be more interrested in food and have fun with Scooby than by any girl, i think. But they may have been a couple, it's possible.

This IS a popular thing in the Scooby Doo fanbase. There's quite many of Shapne fanarts and fanfics on the Web. Personally I prefer Shelma, but to be fair, I don't think that romantic relationships should be included in official Scooby Doo media. Leave romances to fans

I wouldn't know much about fanfics. I don't read fanfics as I heard they can be very messed up.

I wouldn't know much about fanfics. I don't read fanfics as I heard they can be very messed up. Yes, Shaphne is very popular in the Scooby-Doo fanbase (and yes, Shelma is Shaggy and Velma) . Being a fanfiction writer myself, I'll just say that there are definitely some messed up fanfics out there. However, there are just as many which are incredibly well-written and very on-character/consistent with the show. I try to make all of mine as similar to whatever show/film I'm writing about as I can, as if it were just another regular episode that was going about business as usual. I can recommend a few good Scooby fanfics (including my own if you like, lol) if you're interested in trying. As a side note, one of my fanfics does hint at Shaphne somewhat, though it's incredibly subtle and more left up to reader interpretation, rather than the in-your-face relationships that a lot of fanfics try to push. P.S. Just looked at the poll options and was like "Who put the murder spree option?", then went to the beginning of the thread and saw I was the one who created it...what was seven years ago me thinking lol?
