What would McKay/Sheppard be?
Probably McSheppard. However, the people I'm reading have better sense than to use that.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Art Crawl!!!
Better sense than to make the portmanteau? Or better sense than to write that?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
The portmanteau. They have exactly enough sense to write it, which is largely to blame for my current level of obsession.

Despite finding Joe Flannigan the hottest guy on either show, I prefer not to slash him. It's really funnier to think of him jumping every bouffant-hairdoed or green-skinned alien princess they run across, just like Kirk.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, it's better than Teppard.
Yeah, especially since it sounds so close to "tepid".
What would McKay/Sheppard be?
McShep. Yeap, it sounds stupid. DEATH to all portmanteaux! The worst of the examples I've heard include "Gruke" for Grace/Luke from JoA, and.... wait for it... LoVe for Logan/Veronica from Veronica Mars. "LoVe", for fuck's sake. Words fail.

McShep
Yeah, I've been reading a lot of this lately, and it hasn't stopped annoying me yet. How difficult is it to type a few more letters? I mean, really now, for the sake of not being incredibly irritating, it's worth it.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
You know, I guess I had seen McShep and just managed to block it out.
What the hell would you call McKay/Zelenka, then? McZel?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd go for McEnka. It has a ring.
From this distance outside, I like the portmanteau. I figure the distinction between a Spike/Buffy story and a Spuffy story is helpful to know up front.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Do I get to call Sheppard/Weir "Shweir"?
That's funnier to say than to type.
Jars - Mar 29, 2005 7:02:10 am PST #652 of 10001
It'd be funnier to say if it was Sheppard/Weir/Ford and we could call it "Schword".
I'll stop now.
