The Terminology
Fanfiction could quite possibly write its own dictionary on terms associated with it, but I don't have nearly enough room to do that. I will be explaining some terminology that you may see on descriptions of my MSTs and Sporks that will describe what this particular fic is.
For Starters, these are some of the more basic terms you will find:
One-Shot - A one chapter story, usually a short romance
AU - Alternate Universe, usually a High school or somewhere where a Mary Sue could have a justified existence.
OC - Original Character, a character belonging to the author, and not the person who made the characters of the story.
OOC - Out of Character, when characters from the universe being written about don't act like they're supposed to (see My Immortal).
Crack Fic - Lolwut? embodied. Nothing is supposed to make sense.
Song Fic - A fic set to the words of a song, sometimes with the lyrics being used to describe the fic in general.
Slash - Any homosexual pairing written as a fanfiction
Yaoi - MalexMale romance, which I condemn. If the Kingdom Hearts Fanfiction page were grouped into these three categories, this one would occupy a good 95% of them. Also shown by M/M
Yuri - FemalexFemale, which I also condemn. Also shown by F/F
Het - Heterosexual Pairing, which should be obvious. Also shown by M/F
Shipping - Putting two characters in a relationship. It can be as normal as SoKai (Sora x Kairi) or as random as Ansem x Tifa.
Badfic - A terribly written fanfiction, which will be featured on this site.
Pairing - Like shipping, only it is used in less-cemented categories.
Xover - Crossover, integrating parts of another story with the one you are writing about, ex. Naruto x Harry Potter.
Now for some of the more advanced ones you can find:
WAFF - Warm and Fuzzy Feeling, usually a light-hearted and cute fic.
PWP - Porn Without Plot/Plot? What Plot?, usually a story meant to show the people having sex, and that's it.
Lemon - Explicit sexual content
Lime - Not as explicit, but not unexplicit either. A mixture of the two.
Beast - Beastiality, which is human/animal lemons.
Minor1 - One character of the pairing is a minor, under the age of manhood in that universe (e.g. Harry Potter being under 17).
Minor2 - Both characters of the pairing are minors, under the age of manhood in that universe (e.g. Harry Potter and Ginny being under 17).
Fluff - Same as WAFF
MPreg - Male pregnancy. Bleagh.
Futa - When a guy or girl has... both reproductive organs...
NSFW - Not Safe For Work, which means it is probably a bad idea to be reading one of these on your office computer.
Smut - Like PWP, but it can sometimes be part of a plot.
Now for some of my terms, as well as some Sporking-related Terms:
Script Format - Name: *action* What he says. The basic format of plays and such. This will be what I write the sporking in, and it will also be characterized by Bold Font.
Purple Prose - Overly detailed description of an object/person/Mary Sue.
Snarking - Making snide remarks at the expense of someone, and it is what I shall be doing as a Sporker.
Mary Sue - A perfect character. I have my own page going into more detail on it, though. See it.
Paragraph Format - The format you normally write in. Normally, it will be what distinguishes the story from the Sporking, as the story will be written in PF.
More to come later, but for now, this is a rather basic list of the terms you will see as I spork and MST.
