Question regarding the good ship!

[ravilievna]

Hello Everyone

I've had this question plaguing my mind for some time now, and I'm not sure who to ask other than my fellow knights. I've noticed in some ships the fans shorten their name for example for Clark and Chloe fans from Smallville, they have shortened the ship to Chlark. And again for an example from a crossover ship from Supernatural/

I wouldn't. Any of the possibilites sound quite ridiculous. Not to mention that they're completely unnecessary really.

Agreed. I've yet to see a smushed pairing name that didn't sound silly (and Chlean sounds like something you'd use to kill germs in the loo...).

Honestly, if you're going to the trouble of writing a story, it's not that much more work to type out the pairing name in full (unless you write Slartibartfast/Beeblebrox or something :-))

WORD.

Oh thank God I'm not alone in not wanting portmanteaus. Is it really that hard to type out both character's names?
