I HATE the flavor of Shortening in frosting and I'm trying to make a vegan frosting, it was gross not because it was vegan, because I could taste the shortening.... yuck! Not to mention that the feeling of shortening in the mouth is awful!! If the recipe calls for both shortening and margarine, can I just double the margarine? Please tell me that this is possible, or I just know I'll never be able to have frosting ever again!!! Thank you!

I usually don't have issues when substituting all margarine for shortening. I agree that shortening in frostings tend to have a gummy, fatty texture in the mouth and sometimes it takes a while to be melted by body temperature. Yuck! I have som recipes on Veganbaking.net that are free of shortening- just do a search for frosting to see.
Here's one that's easy and shortening-free:

MontanatronOfflineYeah i know the feeling of shortening. I would just use vegan butter, but depending on the taste and texture you want, you really just have to experiment. Try using less shortening and more margarine. If not than i have a couple of recipes in my dorm i could give you if this doesn't work.-
