Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Spuffy started out as a way to make fun of the pairing, as I recall.
Now we have "Brangelina." Make it stop!

Hey. New board.
Just so long as we don't get JudAnythingThatMoves I'm okay.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Nah, I get the thing where a few certain portmanteaus can be funny. Overexposure to some truly revolting examples (the whole "LoVe" thing for Veronica/Logan from VM for example just makes me throw up in my mouth) kind of robbed me of all sense of humor though. Now, I'm all, portmanteaus must die! t /Hellish Sigh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I just don't know... if the simple "A/B" descriptor is doomed and it's a choice between portmanteaus and freaksome abominations like The HMS Pumpkin Pie, portmanteaus seem like the (very, very slightly) lesser of two evils.

Always Anti-fascist!
Homicide doesn't really have those. Just MunchenKay, and FrankenTim, and I forget the Kellerman/Lewis one.

Can anyone pin point where/when smushed names started?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
First time I honestly remember seeing it was Clex. Wasn't used in Sentinel (Blim? Oy.), wasn't used in Highlander (Muncan? Oy.), and I don't think I saw it in Buffy fandom until Spuffy. Wasn't used in X-Files either -- X-Files had a whole categorization system that was based on Gossamer, wasn't it, Suela?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
X-Files had a whole categorization system that was based on Gossamer, wasn't it, Suela?
Yup. M/S (Mulder-Scully sex), MSR (Mulder-Scully romance), Sc/Sk, M/K, etc. Plus categories for types of stories: V for vignette, S for story/drama, C for crossover, X for casefile, T for adventure, R for romance...
Although, and this just occurred to me, there was a rash of so-called "Skipper fic", and I can't recall whether it referred to Scully/Krycek or Scully/Skinner. t dashes off to Google Ah, it was Scully/Krycek. Not quite a smushed name, but close.
Ah, the Gossamer days, when it took them months to update. I think they still don't have auto-archiving.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Ah, the Gossamer days,
My first slash site, I believe. *sniff* It seems like it only yesterday that I clicked on a M/K link thinking, "Eh, slash. Krycek taking on Mulder with knives doesn't seem too OOC." And then I read the story. "You mean he . . . and Mulder . . . and they . . . ooooooooooh. Say, is there more of this?"
There was. And some of it was FG.
