Theirloveisso... definitely predates LOTRiPS, as one of the first people to write in that fandom. The phrase started back in Popslash, with the JoLa people, and was quickly adopted and applied to other pairings as needed - I can't remember if it was Silvia who coined it, or rather Em who was the JoLa queen at the time.
I think pinpointing the actual origins of the phrase might be impossible, but I am 99% certain it's a Popslash thing. And, since there are SO many ex-popslashers in the HP fandom, it's not surprising at all that it got carried over.
