Slashing dramedies/comedies

[agnosticmantis.livejournal.com]

Last night I was watching something, it could've been just the tvguide channel for all I remember and the guy said something like "Remember when comedies were just funny? Where did those days go? I blame you, Alan Alda!" It was really funny. So I don't slash MASH, (yet?!) while I've loved the show and its characters forever, but I do slash the two cops on Monk have friends who slash Hogan's Heroes, and I even know of friends who've talked about slashing characters on Northern Exposure and Trapper John MD! Would anyone be interested in talking about the differences between slashing dramas/science fiction shows and slashing comedies or dramedies. I slashed a drama for years and am now finding out how different it is to slash a dramedy. I think it's harder to slash a dramedy. It's just as hot, but there are things about it that are more difficult.

OT: Question time! Yet another hashbash help query!

[edna-blackadder.livejournal.com]

OK, I have a question that doesn't really have anything to do with M*A*S*H slash, but I don't know where else I can ask it. I need to know for a fic I'm working on for hashbash. So, sorry this is OT, but ... Nurse Kellye. What was her full name, and what about her exact, or at least her approximate, age?

See, I used to think that the character's name was the same as the actress' name, Kellye Nakahara. But then, when I Googled her, I came across an interview with Kellye that made me think otherwise. Here is the excerpt:

Was it by accident that you and Nurse Kellye shared the same name?

Alan Alda gave me my name. He said, is Kellye your last name, first name, nickname - we had a long talk about it and had fun with it. He gave me my name Kealani Kellye five years after the show started.

Does that mean that her name is Kealani Kellye, and Kellye is her last name - which makes sense, given that all the other nurses went by 'Nurse Last Name' - despite it being the actress' first name? And again, how old was the character supposed to be?

Thanks so much in advance, and sorry again for asking it here.
