Who comes first?

[campylobacter]

When you read or write fan fiction, does the order of the people listed in the pairing mean anything?

If it's "Mulder/Skinner", does that mean Mulder's topping?

If it's Gandalf/Theoden, does that mean the King of Rohan's the last to come?

If it's "Dubya/Jacko", does it mean the President outranks the King of Pop?

Does it have anything to do with alphabetical order?

Or gender?

Being a Gossamer archivist would be a punishment in Hell for me. I admire the dedication and the attention to detail you volunteers do to organize more stories than we fans could ever read in a lifetime.e
