I go back to Ye Olde Fandom Dayes when being a "Shipper" was reserved literally just for Mulder/Scully (one of the many reasons it is the Mothership). I was fine with portmanteaus before content producers caught on and started naming the ships themselves practically before the fandom could. I remember it happening in Vampire Diaries and felt like, "no, icky, get away from fandom! CHURCH AND STATE!"

Huh? It goes way further back than that.

DA - What does? Because AYRT is right that the term "shipper" was coined by the X-Files fandom. AYRT isn't claiming the X-Files fandom invented shipping - just that they invented the term "shipper" - which they did. So undoubtedly there was a little while where only MSR shippers were calling themselves shippers. Presumably it didn't take long for shippers from other fandoms to start using the term too, though.

Yaasss, an oldschool Mulder/Scully shipper! Mulder/Scully was my OTP, pretty obsessively, for like five years. Not until around 2006 though. But if you ever wrote fic for TXF there is a pretty decent chance I've read it. :)

They're actually one example of a ship I cannot stand portmanteaus for. They're called MSR, damn it. Or just Mulder/Scully or Scully/Mulder or M/S. Whenever I see a newb (because it's almost always newbs who do it) calling them "Sculder" I cringe.

Lol! I know what you mean. There's just something so awkward about it. Like they're trying a little too hard to be the "cool parent" or something.
