It was Fiction Alley! I always preferred the ship names over portmanteaus since portmanteaus makes me cringe.

But if you're interested in revisiting the nostalgia of good old HP ship names, here's a list: http://fanlore.org/wiki/List_of_Harry_Potter_Pairing_Names

I forgot how great and weird some of them were.

All I can think with the fic I started out with is 'lemon/lime' or 'boy/boy' and it makes me ugly laugh, ngl.

And websites with, like, Evanescence playing as soon as it loads.

Right? Growing up doesn't mean we stop having fun. For me, it's just given me more and more time to practice my writing.

And shake my fist at the talented kids.

Holy crap, these are amazing.

Portmanteaus don't bother me too much, but I started out in anime fandoms where they were pretty common. They can be confusing, though.

Pinn? Foe? I'll stick with stormpilot on this.

HDU, WE WERE SUPER CLEVER.

And completely ignorant about proper lube.

Let's be real, people are still ignorant about proper lube.

I'D FORGOTTEN HOW RIDICULOUS AND WEIRD SOME OF THEM WERE.

HMS ASS

HMS The Government Stole My Toad!!!

And how everything else was SS This or HMS That, but Ron/Hermione was just "The Good Ship".

I just remember Buffy fandom where all the portmanteaus sounded like diseases.

Accurate.

I've either drifted toward better quality fics or maybe people are learning. People who write erotica for our entertainment.

SPUFFY.

I remember cracking up at that one, ngl.

I demand a new HMS Ass. I feel like Captain America would be in it.

Dat ass.

Over the years, I've honed my ability to pick out the good fics in any fandom. I don't want to accidentally stumble on anymore fics about weeping cocks.

I do for real thing fic quality has gone up in the last decade. Maybe it's all of us growing up? I don't know, but it is glorious.

I just remember being like, "Spuffy and Bangel? Really? This is what you're going with???"

And by last decade, I actually mean the last five years, really. I don't know why I said decade.

Look, that cock is going through some things. It just needs a good cry.

I... still consider ten years ago to be the 90s. So. Time is hard.

Re: How old is everyone?

I'm sure after it has a good cry, another cock can come along and magically heal it.

They're still better than Peeniss. Though I'm almost certain that was The Hunger Games fandom fucking with everyone.

That's how trauma works. Gawd, Becky.

I KNOW, I kind of want to befriend both (? is it just two?) of you but I don't know who you are.

Well I'm 25, for the sake of the stats. I think there might be a different age/demographic profile for different fandoms. I kind of expect Star Wars in particular to have a wide range of ages, though.
