I want to know what is so bad with abbreviations. I typed MSR when I was a young thing, uphill both ways! And in the winter, I had to type all the way out to S/Sk!!

Crazy young things with their inability to use judicious single letters.

Wait, wait, I'm just getting warmed up. I know I have a rant in me somewhere.

MSR--Mulder-Scully-?

S/SK--Scully-Skinner?

Ah, days of our youth.

Go Nutty!

Though, you know, you didn't have as much confusion in that 'verse. I mean, B/L meant just one thing (umm... maybe two, if you count the weirdness of that particular pairing), but in Buffy, L could be Lorne, Lindsey, or Lilah.

Of course, I guess in the X-Files, the B could be any one of the Vast Army of Billiams. So, nevermind. Rant on.

B/L meant just one thing

Yeah, Frohike's pissed.

F/K/Sk.

IJS.

Sorry, M/K & S/Sk, all the way.

MSR was (is) Mulder-Scully Romance. So big it formed its own Politburo. Like, when the movie came out, the big phrase going around was:

MSR KGB: "Hah. We win."

In a jokey way that got annoying only several years later.

Yes, yes, old XF was an autistically accurate and categorical fandom. People argued about whether a story that has sex, but not love, or sex, love, and nonetheless a violent breakup, should still be labeled MSR.

Sorry, M/K & S/Sk, all the way.

You are sick and wrong.

M/S4EVAH!!!!1! (K on the weekends.)

But--but--the true, unsullied purity of F/S! Never to be acknowledged or fulfilled!

S is NOT a beard.

And shall not be used as one THANK you very much. *g*
