Dear Star Trek Fandom
I know people love to fuck with nicknames. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I need to know, my dear fandom, what is this strange aversion you people have to using the full name "Leonard"?
Listen, in all of TOS, the old movies, the new movie, the novels, and even the animated series, there has only been ONE NICKNAME for Doctor Leonard H. McCoy, and that's "Bones." And the only person who calls him that is Jim Kirk. Nowhere in canon have I ever seen McCoy called Leo, Len, or Lenny. Maybe if you're going into his past and showing him as a little kid, I could deal with it. If you're telling an anotherwise fucking amazing story, I can deal with "Leo," but NEVER "Len" or "Lenny." NOT HAPPENING.
His name is Leonard. And yes, he may be a fictional character, but he's my favorite, I'm protective of him, and I'm not apologizing.
