Belatedly, it occurs to me to ask, what pushes a fandom towards cute ship names instead of pairing smooshes? (Brought to you by an attempt to parse "Frostiron.")
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What fandom is that?

Avengers. I assume it's Loki/Tony.

Stark and Emma Frost apparently had a thing in the comics at one point (or at least were retconned as having had one), so it could be that too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I admit that I love "Stark Spangled Banner". Both the cutesy name and the 'ship. I don't buy it, really, but it's fun.

Yep. I have friends who write it.
Personally, I don't get cutesy pairing names OR horrible portmanteaus, but I'm willing to accept that I may be the cranky one on this.

Oh, no, that's always a given. Except for the funny ones.

I think someone on the Internet hates me. In the past two weeks I've gotten four spam messages on temporarily abandoned stories.
This is extra frustrating because when I hit the link, I'm worried it'll be someone berating me for the lack of updates, and wind up extra disappointed that its actually just junk mail.

I get the spam messages sometimes more than once a month. Yes, people on the internet hate us. They're called spammers, and they deride us so much they abuse us on the very offchance of a return.
I went on a date with a guy who wrote spam software when I just moved out to LA. He was incredibly...not contrite. I didn't even pause for a second to consider seeing him again.

I think you should have agreed to a second date and used Audition as a model for it.
