Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't see why cooking should be incompatible with the porny place. Unless you're frying bacon, of course.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So my mind always goes to the porny place.

Save me a chair there, 'kay? (Or a luxurious divan, depending on how ritzy your view of the prony place is.)

All the seating is luxurious in the porny place. Unless you want to have furniture that is unyielding and hard. For those special purposes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just got an e-mail from someone wanting to link to my Spawn fic.

As in, Spike/Dawn.

Where are the portmanteau police when you need them?

Well, isn't other choice Dike?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oh, for the love of Moses... Spawn? The fuck?

I HATE ALL PORTMANTEUS WITH THE FURY OF THOUSAND SUPERNOVAS! KILL! KILLLLLLLL!! I HATE IT SO MUCH IT'S REDUCED ME TO ALL ASSCAPS!

I honestly have no idea how and when and why portmanteaus have become so pervasive in fandom. Why, back in the day, we hardly ever abbreviated! And when we did, it was just the first initial! And everyone in that fandom knew what it meant!

Or maybe I should just give in to the trend and go label my last few stories McShep and Spicious and Dusty.

Plus, Spawn? Is actually a comic (and a movie), right? I mean, I have no idea how big the fandom for it might be, but your portmanteau isn't allowed to be an already-existing fandom!

Plus, my story is not Spike/Dawn, but Spike & Dawn. I wonder if this person knows that.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

It's spilled over to the mainstream rags, what with Bennifer I and Bennifer II and Brangelina, etc. I suspect there is no help for it now.

I didn't mind it too much when it was just Clex and Spuffy (although I personally think Clex sounds like some bathroom cleaning product and Spuffy like a brand of fabric softner), but then it became just rampant. Most of the smooshed names also sound 1) ridiculous and 2) fugly, so it mystifies me as to why people insist using them. I guess they think the names are cute. t makes a gagging noise

Bah. Never mind me. I'm not rational about the whole thing.
