It took me a while to learn all the shorthand, but honestly? I prefer using the shorthand when chatting informally with other fans, the same way I'd use terms like AFK/OMG etc. ESPECIALLY places like twitter or in tags where there's a character limit

Now if I were writing meta or a fic or something more polished, I use/prefer the full name, but casually? I don't see a problem with using the initials.

Yes, all of this exactly! Especially when talking on Twitter, or firing a short comment at your friends.

And it took me a moment until I got it, and sometimes I do need a bit of context first, but honestly? It's really not that hard.

My first cdrama was Guardian, and when I saw ZYL I wasn't sure if they meant Zhao Yunlan or Zhu Yilong, until I learned the other neat shortcut - when talking about Zhu Yilong, people would use Z1L, which, of course! Made so much sense.

Yeah this. If it's discussion between fans abbreviating the names is fine because internet convos tend to lend towards that anyway, but things like fic/meta should use the full names. The only concession I'll give is if someone is doing a twitter fic or meta, then the abbreviations are fine because they're working with a character limit.
