I've been wondering about this for a while, and want to know what you think about it.




Because I tag my fic, I have to choose which way I'm going to format the pairing name; as in, is it Sierra/Echo or Echo/Sierra? And I don't really know how I do it. I chose Echo/Sierra, for example, I think because Echo's the starring character - but what about characters who are pretty much equal in role, like Boyd and Topher?

Also, since I don't do smooshy pairing names (like Spuffy or Spangel), I don't really know how those get chosen. One assumes that sound plays the biggest factor, but what is the methodology behind all that?

So I'm polling the audience, because curiosity can only be cured by asking other people's opinions.

Please leave comments explaining your opinions, especially if you chose 'Other' or have insight into how smooshy names get chosen.
