Fanfiction …

…has a vocabulary all its own

slash = homoerotic relationships between main characters. Derived from the slash between Kirk/Spock which was the first type, before fanfic even moved online

shipper site = relationshipper = site about romances between two previously platonic characters in a series/book

site clique ??? (maybe what used to be called a webring, maybe community)

collective ??? (maybe a site where people write fanfic together, or a collaborative fanfic site, or a collection of pictures from a series… not sure)

lemon = sexual encounter (lime or citrus is a lighter version!) – is a warning to people who might be offended (e.g.,The following is a lemon story….)

Mary Sue = the author puts herself in the fanfic story usually as the main character’s love interest: an unrealistically powerful, able or attractive character

And my favourite Fanfic site? Not fanfic as such but a study of it

Site looking at the Xenaverse (a doctoral dissertation even) from Christine Boese
