-Shipping Name Origin
"GlistenShipping" wasn't originally coined for Candice/Maylene; it was first a ship name for Glaceon/Jirachi, coined sometime between 22 May[Notes 1] and 21 October 2007.[Notes 2] However, this name was added in error because FrozenDreamShipping had been coined for the pairing earlier, sometime in 2006 or 2007.[Notes 3]
The error wasn't spotted until sometime between 18 January[Notes 4] and 21 February 2009[1] due to the lack of fan activity for the pairing. Beginning in 2007, if a ship was found to have two names on the list, then the second one was removed and could be re-submitted for another ship.[2] GlistenShipping was removed from the list by Toraphi, since it was coined second, and taitofan re-submitted it for Candice/Maylene, which hadn't been named yet, a few days later.[2]

Fan Fic
- Learning Curve by Whiscash, Archived version (2011), Maylene never expected someone like Candice to understand.
- all about focus by HopeStoryteller, Archived version (2014), In the middle of winter, Candice is training to become the new leader of the Snowpoint Gym and succeed her mentor, Wulfric, before he moves to Kalos. As far as she's concerned, it's all about focus—and maybe, with enough focus, the cute new girl in charge of the Veilstone Gym will take the hint and ask her out on a date already.
