revising my internal "best of pairing smooshes" list...

[ratcreature]

Up to now I've thought that "Snermione" was the most unfortunate smooshed pairing name I've seen "in the wild" (i.e. used by someone unironically just to name the pairing rather than in posts mocking the most hilarious potential name combinations), but I think I may have to revise this in light of having just seen "Spirk" on a story search. I'm not completely sure what I object to in particular, except that calling it "Kock" would be as easy to pronounce, even funnier and comply with the traditional K/S order. Seriously though, "Spirk"?!?

...I had not heard that one! I've heard Kock as a *joke*, but. Spirk. I can't decide if it would be better or worse if it was "Spork".

Yeah. What is wrong with typing K/S? It has fewer letters!

Admittedly I'm biased against smooshes even in fandom that actually have a tradition of them, i.e. I'm not fond of typing Clex, McShep, Snarry, or Spuffy either, but okay. I'm adaptive. But this? *flail* I hope Trek is entrenched enough that this does not catch on.
