HEY ALL.
._.
-cough-
Okay, here's the point of this thread: I'm really bored. And people here have been asking questions about what certain things mean - I usually get 'em through PM. o.o So, let's get started. I'll just list terms and you can refer back to this if anyone ever comments on yer Fan Fic (don't count on it). I'll even list the part of speech they are (if it applies), EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU WON'T FREAKIN' USE IT. >_> STUBBORN ILLITERATES.
o:
-takes medicine- Let's continue.
Angst: n. Trippy teenage stuff. "ZOH MY GOSH I BE SO IN LUFF WIK THIS CHICK, AND SHE ISH TEH LUFF ME BACK, BUT SINCE I AM A TEEN, THIS DOES NOT WORK AND I ISH TEH CUT CUT CUT!!!" ._. But probably more serious than that.
AU: adj. Alternate Universe. A fan fiction with characters everyone knows, even sometimes following the storyline of the game, but one that has twists in the storyline. I.E. "SORA AND RIKU GO ON AN ADVENTAR AND GET KEYBLSDE BUT THEN KAIRI GET ONE TO SAND THE KING TURNS EVIL." o.o But not so n00bish. More like: "Sora and Kairi: School Days From Heck Where the Teachers Eat Fooz for Breakfast."

Challenge: n. If another author wishes to battle you in writing, they will offer you this. ._. Usually, you each write a one-shot, and then it's a popularity contest while you each say to teh other, "Nu, nu - Yours was much better!" in faulty British accents. ._.

*Chappie: n. Less than cool way of saying "chap" or "chapter."

Crunk: adj. A way of saying "Hyper Hip" that's actually hyper hip.
Drabble: n. Boring, worthless stuff. Unless I'm completely unhip and don't know what this means. Better add: **
Dying: adj. A fic that could have one of many problems: Not popular, undiscovered,
not good, etc.
Dead: adj. A fic that hasn't been posted on for a very long time (if at all) or one abandoned by its author(ess).

Fan Fiction: n. See "Fan Fic"

Finished: adj. A Fan Fiction that has been completed.

Gorey: adj. A fic with lots of bloody scenes and such. Pickle likes.

*Lemon: n. A scene that clearly depicts characters having physical relations. BANNED from the forums. Anyone who partakes is a pervert and should be hanged. >.> It's Hanged. Not hung. >.>
*Lemonade: n. A scene that could result in a lemon, a scene that leads to a definite lemon, or a scene that tries to cover a lemon up so that the author won't be in trouble. Pickle sees through this. >.> I.E. "There was a lot of lemonade in that last chapter.
*Lime: n. A romantic scene that only goes as far as "making out." An annoying scene. >.>
Look-and-leave: v. To look at a fan fiction but not post on it. Not appreciated.

personality of a well-known person in a story for inexplicable reasons or for convenience. I.E. "You OOC'd all of the characters."
One-Shot: n. A fic that ish just one chapter long. They should be LONG and FREAKIN' DESCRIPITIVE. >.> Like all chapters. Usually very emotional. 'Sposed to leave j00 thinkin'. Mostly about cheese. o: Unless j00're as successful as GoH, in which case your One-Shots turn into Fan Fics. =3

Plague-erism: n. A comical way of saying Plagiarism - And wishing the plague on someone at the same time.
*Potato: n. A once-popular, has-been way of saying "lemon." It was horribly ridiculous, not funny, and overall just an entirely stupid term. >_>
Rena: Proper Noun.Takushi_Rena, Mod of the Fan Fiction section.
Reviving: v. Reviving a thread. Whether it's dead, dying, or FINISHED, when someone posts on it and brings it back to the first page, you are "reviving" it. It's annoying when the fic is finished. DON'T DO THAT. IF THE FAN FICTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE PROPER THING TO DO IS CLOSE IT, AND YOU, THE FAN, SHOULD SIMPLY PM THE AUTHOR TO TELL HOW MUCH YOU DUG IT. >_> See: Super-Bump.
*Rubric: n. An application-like description of a character - something you should never post. Always describe the people IN your story - not before you post a chapter. Posting pictures instead of describing is also annoying. >.>
*Script-Style: Writing that has no detail and is only permitted on KHI for hilarious fics, even though you can be funny without them, and they're highly descouraged. I.E.
"Riku: *eats cheese* Sora: LET'S GET MARRIED!1"
Shonen-ai: Gay pairings. What's the one you guys always use instead of Roxel? Aku..Somethin-not-important. Anyway, Roxel, Soriku, Daisu..dark... Don't ask how... XD Stuff like that. Romance, but not lemons. Maybe a kiss. ._. No rules against this, and don't flame them for it: JUST DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. >_> Romance fics suck anyway. =3
Shoujo-ai: (**Spelling may be wrong on this term) Shonen-ai for chicks. =o
Slash: Slash Fics. **Gay/les pairings.
Song-Fic: A fic with a song for each chapter. Sometime's it's only one chapter long. People will often try to get you to listen to the song when you read it, but I don't. Too freakin' lazy, and it's probably not worth it, seeing as how their music pales in comparison to mine. =3
* *Subscribes*: A lame way to say that you're a fan of the story. *subscribes to thread instead of saying that they like it*
Super-Bump: n. A super bump is when you post on a thread that hasn't been posted on in a very long time, whether it's finished or dying, or dead. See: Revive/Reviving. I don't remember how I listed it. =3
Takushi_Rena: Proper NounMod of the Fan Fiction section.
Update: v. To post another chapter
Updart: v. See "Update"
Udpart: v. See "Update"
Yaoi: Boy-on-boy action. ._. Blunt, jes? It's the HEAVY STUFF. Yaoi: Gay lemon. Lemons are not allowed on KHI. ._. Maybe a little less extreme in some cases, but people always mix this up with (see): "Shonen-ai"
Yuri: Yaoi for chicks. See: "Shoujo-ai"
*A stupid term. :3
** Possibly inaccurate, further study required.
Guide:
