Something that occurred to me ages ago but I had forgotten all about until I was surfing around and was reminded about. In Atlantis, Sheppard/Weir is also known as Sparky, to save it being Shweir *sudder* Those sort of names are only good when they're funny (like McShep, which I find funny for some reason).

Only trouble is, Sparky is one of Rygel's nicknames in Farscape, given to him by Crichton. So I think all the ships should have a Rygel nickname. There's even a site with them all listed: Crichtonisms ( could only remember four: Sparky, Spanky, Buckwheat and Napoleon XVI). Maybe if we run out, we can go for other character's nicknames, there must be more than there are pairings, even when you get to multi-ones.

This did completely confuse me the other day when I was reading sga_newsletter and they mentioned a new community with spanking in the name. It was referring to, you know, spanking. Except that my first though was 'ooh, I wonder what pairing that is.'
