Thank you all muchly!  Lots of data to work with!

I find that Girls Aloud fans are pretty bizarrely attached to shipper names.

Chim
Cherola
Cheradine (I refuse to use this)
Saryl
Kimbadine
Sazimba
Nicadine
Sardine
Sarola
Kimola
etc

They then start to combine them into ever longer and ever stranger words

Kimoladine
Chimdine
Saryldine
etc

And out of these, the only one I would 'use' is Chim. In fact, Chim, Bleighton and Chenzel are the only ones I use full-stop.

oh wow, 3 and 4 syllable ones. These will really make or break my theory.
"Sardine" *snickers*

Pepsi - Pepa/Silvia (Los Hombres de Paco)
BRAM - Brooke/Sam (Popular)
Khase - Krista/Chase (Blade: the Series)
Kigo - Kim/Shego (Kim Possible)...if Disney can be shipped, anything can be, lol

KiGo is, in fact, my original ship despite having never seen the show and thus indirectly responsible for my being such a screaming, obsessively refreshing LJ in case of updates Alsike fangirl. Really, like so many things, I blame TVTropes, one link to Failte200's scarily good "Alone, Together"[1] and I finally got hooked on fanfic. Unfortunately it also set the bar really high for dialogue, character and crack levels, thus my eventually stumbling over "Women of Diamond" and instantly being addicted. Also, late vote for more "City on the River"... or more of anything with M'ma/Emily, or any Emmmily at all. Actually I really like "Dream In Motion" or the terrifyingly cute Babysitter's Club.

I hadn't used LJ's spelling checker in a while, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's clearly been reading some of the same things I have.
  • KiGo - Kink, kiss & kill; also "Kirk" for Original Slash points.
  • Alsike - Allusive, so thoroughly allusive.
  • fangirl - fancily finical fanged angel, fragile & fungible (ooh, I sense a dig at fickle fandom tastes in vampirism)
  • TVTropes - Deathtraps
  • fanfic - finicky fang funfair (Wah, I don't even like vampire stuff that often!)

:D
I loved "Alone, Together!" It totally ruins you for anything not as good. And KiGo's hard that way, because there are such awesome epic fics, and then there's the *other stuff* which is the most uninteresting drivel. No middle ground.

Someone clearly needs to write a prompt table based on the 10 commandments... except with the nots taken out. Paganism, blasphemy, murder, adultery... now *that's* a prompt table.

Ooh, now I want to work on the City on the River prompts I was doing... except, of course, I should really work on the next chapter, and not random future scenes...

Prompt table of awesome:
Kink, kiss & kill Allusive Fanged Angel
Fragile & Fungible Deathtraps Finicky Funfair
Decalogues dislodge a deluge of dialog. "Thou shalt include a hammock" Mama
MIA Mammal Employ
