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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.
Spangel. Spander. Sparrington.

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"?

Hee. Hee hee. I have next to no sense of humor when it comes to portmanteaux, but I have to confess that this one makes me laugh.
I have no idea why Spike/Xander people have embraced "Spander" because that's just fugly. Plus, every time I hear "Snarry" (which seems to be a largely accepted term in the Snape/Harry part of the HP fandom), I want to bash someone's head in.

"snarry" sounds like an unflattering adjective.
"Oh, my god, get away from me! You're all snarry!"
