(no subject)

What does it say about my control freak tendencies that it's actually easier for me to go into work for an hour when I'm coughing my lungs up to arrange stuff for later in the week than it is to phone in sick and then try and explain it all?

Meanwhile, in other news, victory for earth logic! :P

Terminology assistance, please!

Someone over on OS is claiming that Trek fandom was responsible not only for the terms 'slash' and 'MarySue' (neither of which can be disputed) but the term 'ship' as well, when used to describe m/f fic.

I was under the impression this term originated in X Files fandom and that 'adult' was the preferred terminology prior to that for fic which had a m/f relationship and sex.

Anyone out there who's been in fandom longer than me (or those fandoms in particular) care to share their opinion?
