Well genius, that is I feel largely the point of fanon and fanfiction, to breath life and personity into characters who may not have much offered in the show proper. Background characters, the Wonderbolts, the Royal Sisters have all show they need more depth and characterization... Though perhaps less so Luna. So basing the ship on fanon and Ccanon should be acceptable, unless you're too stubborn for such. There is even the comics to draw on. Also, I am firmly against the hatred many show Flash Sentry and actually ship pony Flash with Twilight. Though he is not the only one I ship my favorite bookworm with.


 
Moving on, I strongly argue that _*age shouldn't matter as long as both parties are consenting adults!_* Hell, technically we know no one actually age and can guess on only a few. The Royal Sisters are over a thousand years old, Discord is eons old, and if the candles on the birthday aniversery cake are any indication Rainbow Dash is twenty one. Personally I see the Mane Six as all adults, between late teens to early twenties.


 
Heck, it is because I don't believe age matters that I so strongly ship Rarity and Spike, again with the dragon being an adult, as well as Twilight Sparkle and her mentor Princess Celestia. As such, age shouldn't matter between Rainbow Dash and Soarin as long as a one can show why there would be chemistry between the two and a relationship developing. Lastly the show doesn't need to show Rainbow is particularly a fan of Soarin, simply her fangirl view and admiration towards the Wonderbolts as a whole and wish to be one is enough of a starting point to get the process going.
