Definitions

Okay! here I will explain to you some terms that are used here on this site. (Almost all the terms are used to catagorize the fanfictions) And no, I didn't make up these silly words and there meanings! (someone else as strange as me must have!) Anyway they are all basic words used by fanfiction authors... If you are a fanfiction reader/author/hunter then you probably already know all this... but I'm doing this for those who might be confused! (I wish there were some pages like this around when I 1st started reading fics!^^) Don't ask what this pic is for...I just think it's funny!

Don't ask what this pic is for...I just think it's funny!

shonen ai - shonen=boy ai=love. Same thing as 'Slash' just in japanese (us anime fans like to use this word!) This means love between two (maybe even more!^^;) males, and not as in a brotherly love... I know you get the picture...
Yaoi - basically the same as shonen ai, but this word's usually used for more explicit content...there's an actual meaning to the word, which apparently means no meaning (confused? yeah, me too) Actually I don't think this is really a word at all, it's an abbreviation of 4 japanese words. Unfortunetly (or fortunetly, if you are sick of my rambling^^) I don't know the words Yaoi stands for. It would be easy to find on the net if you want to find out!
Sap - a word for extremely sweet and lovey-dovey things... I don't even know why this is a warning...(maybe so people like me can easily find the sweet stuff!
WAFF - Basically the same as sap, maybe more cheesey though (you can never have enough cheese ^^)!
Angst - Stories marked with this will have a dark/depressing kind of mood in some parts.
Hentai - A japanese word for perverted...heh *dry cough*
Lime - When characters get touchy or intimate with each other (actually I'm not entirely sure how far this goes to?�)
Lemon - This will mark very explicit sexual content...in other words, not for the children or the squimish!
PWP - Stands for 'Plot, What Plot?'. Basically stories marked with this are usually pure smut!
OOC - Stands for 'Out Of Character'. The characters of the story act in a way that they'd be highly unlikely to in the original anime/manga!
POV - Stands for 'Point Of View'. This means the story is written in first person through one of the characters.
AU - Stands for 'Alternate Universe'. The fanfic will be written in a different world or time, but with the same characters. A very fun way to keep fanfics exciting!
NCS - Stands for 'Non-Consensual Sex'... To put it bluntly it means RAPE.
Seme - Means the 'top' person in the relationship [sexually speaking that is].
Uke - Means the person getting it done to 'em by the seme! [stereotypically the physically smaller of the two]
Squick - The technical term for this one is 'gross'! haha, don't read stuff that's labled squick if you're squimish.
Owari - Thought I'd put this in since I mark all endings of fics with it. Owari means 'End'' in Japanese.

I think that's about it, if I missed any please E-mail me! to let me know!^^
