A propos of nothing...

[hmpf]

I just realised that if old Star Trek slash fandom had been in the habit of contracting the names of its favourite pairing like many current fandoms do, it would have resulted in either 'spork' or 'kock', both of which I find rather hilarious... (Well, or 'spirk' or 'kick', obviously, but those aren't as great.)

I actually don't like that in fandoms, to be honest...I mean, I can't think what a mangle they might make of John/Aeryn. Also, if I don't know the fandom, I can't work out who's who, whereas with names, I at least have some sort of clue. But I'm thinking I migh snigger inappropriately at "spork" now. As if it weren't such a funny word anyway...

You do know of course you're quite, quite broken :)

Kock is the most perfect slash pairing smushed-named I have ever heard. :D

Edited... Because proper English isn't working for me today.

*Nods.* That was my thought. I'm not a fan of slash or the business of talking about pairings in smushed name, but that is perfect.
