Cake informs me that his new word:
Fillogy: A trilogy that starts out as one book and then is padded out to three, at the publisher's request.
has already hit Google!
Viz!
That's pretty cool, Cake! Keep them new words coming...

Rock on, Cake!
I also coined "Romantasy" (fantasy driven by romance novel themes) and "Textellent" (a positive reaction to a text message, variant spellings "txtellent", "txtllnt").
Unsurprisingly, "Romantasy" was already well-used, with 19K+ google hits.
Though I like both romantasy and txtellent, I believe that fillogy is your finest coining to-date. The world being currently full of fillogys, it's a word that definitely fills a void.
Two words were coined, or else "lexographer" should probably be "lexicographer," which means "someone who compiles, edits, and writes dictionaries," though even more pedantically, the word you want is "neologizer," meaning someone who creates new words.
Of course you are right, sieur, and I blame blogger's lack of spell-check! Actually, I blame myself...Thanks for the correction, which shall be duly corrected!
