Many Fan Fiction writers, such as me, are MAG writers. We pair up Gilligan and Mary Ann (Ginger is often paired up with the Professor, and poor old Skipper is left out, not enough ladies to go around).
However, due to the way shows were made back then, such storylines were not possible. Sitcoms in those days were mostly stand alone episodes, no continuing storylines. Something like Monica/Chandler (a storyline that developed over several seasons of Friends) was just not feasable.
However, as I said, we Fan Fiction writers are under no such restrictions.
