They can be a little hard to keep track of for me, and confusing if two characters have similar name segments.

Not sure if this is the case in every fandom, but for a while I knew the slashes as a sexual thing to specify who's 'dominant' in het/femslash and who tops in slash, so maybe portmanteaus are a way to move away from that. Or it could be that (for anime fandoms at least) there's more interaction with the Japanese side of fandom, and they use portmanteaus, though those do specify who tops.

Uh, what fandoms were you in? That was never the purpose of the slash in any of the multiple slash fandoms I was in (can't speak to het or femmeslash, not into those). It had nothing to do with who topped or bottomed. Ie: Starsky and Hutch was written Starsky/Hutch because that was the order of them names in the program title. And if it were the case then you'd have to switch the order when you wrote a different top bottom pairing. I don't think so.

Can't say I was ever in the Starsky & Hutch fandom. Most of my earlier fandoms were anime, come to think of it. I missed out on most of the Western fandoms in my formative years. But yeah, people would say 'A/B' or 'B/A' (or use 'x's, but it was the same) and they would imply sexual dynamics in slash. I didn't know this was so unheard of.

Nah, I've seen it a lot too (mostly in anime fandoms, but definitely in Western fandoms too). I don't think it's quite as popular now, but it crops up in a lot of kink memes and people will often reply to prompts and ask if the OP wants, for example, John/Sherlock or Sherlock/John to see if they have a preference for top and bottom if it wasn't already specified in the prompt.

da

anime fandoms have long kept by the top/bottom order, there are even online wars between fans of the same pairing for tagging their fics in the "wrong" order
