...found in fan fiction

I will be constantly adding to these lists.

Angust a sad, sad fic. The characters go through emotional rollar costers in these fics.

Lemon VERY graphic sexual content! In fact, this story might be nothing but graphic sexual content.

Lime mild sexual content (also, there's orange and grapefruit, cousins of lemon and lime...^.^;)

Mary-Sue A Mary-Sue is an original character who is absolutely perfect. She is absolutely perfect, she induces nausea. A Mary-Sue is an unrealistic character who embodies everything the author wishes in herself(/himself...I guess). She is pretty (sometimes without meaning to be), talented, and strikes awe in all who know her. Not all characters who fit this description are Mary-Sues, though. But if the focus of the story is on this character from the beginning of the story (or near the beginning), then the character is stands a good chance of being a Mary-Sue.

Shoujo-ai literally, 'girl love'. Yuri's non-graphic younger sister.

Shounen-ai literally, 'boy love'. Yaoi's non-graphic little brother. Shounen-ai fics deal more with the emotional side of the relationship.

Songfic a fic based around or inspired by a song

Vidfic a fic describing what the music video of [insert miscellanious song name here] would look like with [insert choice show/book/movie/whatever here] characters in it

Yaoi contains (male/male) homosexuality (it has to be male/male; there's a different term for female/female) I'd look carefully at the rating for fics like this. Yaoi could be taken to mean the fic contains graphic sexual content, or just contains homosexuality. (also, see shounen-ai)

Yuri same as yaoi, but with girls instead of boys (also see shoujo-ai


Miscellanious Japanese

I don't really see much Japanese in the Digimon fandom, but when I started reading Gundam Wing fics I was lost! So here's some Japanese terms you can throw around to show how much smarter then everyone else you are.

[insert-name-here]-chan Used for little peoples (and by that I mean small children) or cute people. Or your sweet-heart.

[insert-name-here]-kun Um....it shows that the person addressed is male? It's only used on guys, I know that....

baka idiot. (Apparently baka is, like, a root meaning all things stupid and moronic)

hai yes

koibito lover, sweet-heart, stuff like that

ohayou-gozaimazu Good morning. (often just ohayo)

oyasuminasai Good night (often just oyasumi)
