emmagrant01I've always despised portmanteaus -- those smooshed-together pairing names. But on Tumblr, since you can't have a "/" in tags, you essentially have to use them in order to label and organize posts.
And then it occurred to me the other day that portmanteaus are put together based on how the pairing name sounds -- not by who's on top and who's on bottom. And if you know me at all, you know that I've never liked the concept of classifying fic according to whose dick goes in whose ass, for reasons I don't think I have to go into here (but if you really want to know, just ask).
So I think I've changed my mind about portmanteaus. Drarry. Snarry. Johnlock. Johnlockstrade. Nothing about those names implies anything about what the characters might or might not do in bed. I think I like it. Converted, perhaps. :-)
