The lovely Shay wrote up this article a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was absolutely worth sharing with the rest of you. If nothing else, it will have you laughing - I know I did! :D

E2RH Spearheads Name-Smoosh Shipping Within Dark Angel Fandom
Dated: 2nd July, 2010.
You read that right! We're at the forefront of the Name Game and we're gonna win!
So, what's the hype?
One of our mods and an admin were having a serious (well, sorta. kinda. maybe. not really but that so isn't the point!) discussion about the lack of name-smooshed 'ship titles within the Dark Angel fandom. As a result, the pair decided that the recession? Depression? Well, whatever you call it, it had to end.
Names were suggested. Some were mocked, others were ribbed and a few stood out from the crowd.
Whax. Bex. Mack. Mogan. Ralec. Ashec. Can you guess which is which?
Whax. It's too mad to contemplate for most, but what name better suits the Max/White ship? And Ben... Well, we couldn't call the duo Men, now could we? Mack hits like a heavyweight. Put Zack and Max in a ring and watch 'em whump each other! It had to happen Mogan. Well, Rogan worked for Gilmore Girls, so Mogan can work for us. And goodness knows it's better than Logax... Ralec. Rachel and Alec. Simple, telling, a done deal. And we can't forget the lovely blondie, Asha Barlow! She and Alec could have been something, no matter what he tells you!
Tell me those aren't brilliant? With the sole existing smoosh in DA existence, Malec takes the lead, but we had no follow-ups and that just wasn't fair. Now there is a solution.
Do we think it will take? Perhaps, perhaps not. But at least the option is there.
And we did it first!
