Re: Based on the conversation in 5

[(Anonymous)]

I mostly prefer portmanteaus. There was a while in my late teens and early twenties where I wanted to reject portmanteaus because they seemed silly and immature. But then I got old enough that I stopped caring about perceived maturity, and accepted that portmanteaus are typically the most effective and convenient way of naming ships. Portmanteaus allow people to identify the ship easily even with minimal knowledge of the canon and/or fandom, they're easily searchable, and they cut down on word-clutter when one is writing meta or otherwise talking about their ship.

That said, if a ship is old and didn't use a portmanteau in its heyday, then newbs trying to give it a portmanteau will make me excessively annoyed. If you refer to Mulder/Scully as Sculder, I will probably block you so I don't have to see it.

Some portmanteaus should've been better thought out, though. Jisbon, for example, is so hilariously bad that...well I kind of love it, because it makes me laugh, but if I actively shipped Jane/Lisbon and had to see that fucking ship name everywhere, I would hate it.
