Another perspective:

Using the smooshed name convention reifies the relationship as a separate entity from the members of it. (postmodernism yay!) And I think that's a thing people did before the smooshed names (which, AFAIK, are originally a BBS thing, not a SV thing). At the very least, when people started identifying themselves as shippers in The X Files, it's clear to me that the relationship between the leads is at least as important to a shipper's fannish relationship to the show as either lead character is.

And I'm firmly on the side of not throwing stones about how other people pursue their fannishness, inasmuch as I spend hours of my day talking, thinking, and reading about the emotional underpinnings of Superman-to-be and his best friend/proto-boyfriend/archnemesis-to-be
