It's hard to top Spuffy and LoVe. I'm not particularly fond of any of the McKay/anyone ones, like McShep, McBeckett, etc. And I may have hallucinated this, but I think I saw people calling Sheppard/Weir "Shweir."
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I do have to say that I find the portmanteau's a little bit easier to decipher than the Roswell Designations (Candy, etc), but perhaps because I just started reading Roswell last year and so wasn't around when they were created.
Also, every time I see LoVe (which is a lot because I am devouring that fandom now) I get the title theme to The Love Boat stuck in my head!

McShep,
See, that works for me because it seems more like just a shorthand and less like trying to create a cute new word. Those are the ones that get me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is Spuffy cute or shorthand (or both)?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh, where to start...
Grace/Luke (JoA) = Gruke
Clark/Whitney (SV) = Clitney (oh, I only wished I were kidding)
Draco/Hermione (HP) = Dramione
Burke/Cristina (GA) = Burketina
Sark/Sydney (Alias) = Sarkney
And that's just off the top of my head.

Oh, god, I forgot about Sarkney.
As far as those other ones go, I think you maybe venture a little far afield in search of fic. I'm just saying.

I'd call it cutesy.

But Clitney has no clit!
And Burketina should be Burkina.

And not shorthand? It doesn't look to me like it's reaching (Bike is just dumb, and using double first syllables is illegible). It just ended up cute. But so is Buffy, really.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I will say, one thing "Spuffy" has going for it is the ease with which it is turned into other word-forms: who can forget our detailed discussion of "Aggro-spuffists"?
