I'll never understand shippers. I had no idea what any of it was until I started hitting the Smallville boards during its run. The folks who insisted that Clark had to end up with Lana and
to hell with 60+ years of comic book continuity just frustrated me to no end.
They did make many changes to Iris and Barry on this barely keeping tribute to 75 + years of history. First, with changing her and Joe's race therefore making them CINOs (Character In Name Only), the other is their origin regarding Barry and Iris growing up in the same house as step-siblings, third is she's a journalist that actually does her job, much like Lois Lane.
Funny I checked out that link and the majority of the Flash fan fiction section is full of Snowbarry stories, that website is the most popular for fan fiction according to top sites. Westallens think they are so popular huh? Why aren't they churning out stories for their deity couple? -

It's all about her black skin isn't it? To me it really doesn't matter what color she is, she's badly written and in turn makes Barry an awful person. No one likes these two together besides idiots like yourself who only see skin color and mistake awful writing for epic romances.

Honestly, to hell with fan fiction. Am I supposed to care what fan fiction is more popular, or what gets written more? I have no problem with people writing it, but the fac that there are so many websites dedicated to it? Here's an idea. Create your own characters, situations, plot devices and settings, and make something - are you ready for this - original.
And I know changes are going to be made. I'm fine with change as it's an adaptation. But to throw hissy fits online the way I've seen some shippers do because their ships aren't going to be given credence? Whatever. -

I think Wells and Caitlin would be hot.
I think Iris is fine how she is. There is nothing wrong with being the girlfriend, daughter, sister, friend, with heroic qualities. The Flash is incapable of telling stories not centered around Barry for more than an episode or two, primarily because of there "We must have a meta every episode" philosophy.
What function does Joe really serve? He's a cop, but he can't take down any meta. Sure he has a great job title, but he's saved no more people than Iris. He saved Barry twice. Iris saved Caitlin.

It's important to get the protagonist's story right. In Smallville that means Clark/Lois. On the Flash, Barry/Iris. Arrow muffed it up and they still haven't got all their viewers back.

Who is this we? Barry-Caitlin is not happening. There's always fan fiction.

Barry will have a father-in-law that loves him, a brother-in-law that idolizes him, and a girl he has loved before his voice changed and he'll give that up for Caitlin.

There has always been chemistry between Barry and Caitlin, but the writers downplayed it heavily in Season 2, mainly teasing it with episodes like 1x12, 1x19, and this recent KF episode. But, yeah, it shows that they have tons more chemistry than Barry ever had with Iris, a combination of Caitlin being a stronger character, Panabaker's acting rising up in the Barry-Caitlin scenes, and Gustin's emotions feeling more genuine when Barry is with Caitlin than when he's trying too hard in the romantic scenes with Iris, to the point where they come across as awkward. But I love Cisco too much to have Iris pawned off on him. He deserves better than Barry's leftovers.
