When multiple anonymous users are posting, may be distinguished by using such terms as Same Anon (SA), Different Anon (DA) or New Anon (NA). See also: H/CĪnon (-ymous) - refers to someone, either author or reader, who does not wish their identity to be revealed. Such fics may also be designed to elicit such emotions in the readers. Most stories with an angst description contain significant levels of characters feeling emotions such as fear, anxiety, or sadness. See also: Badfic and/or MSTĪngst - refers to a genre of stories with prevalent physical or, mainly, emotional torment of characters. That said, certain forms of parody such as Badfics and MSTings may use the embedded A/N method deliberately for humour's sake. If additional explanation that cannot be incorporated into context is needed, the use of footnotes is perfectly acceptable and can often enhance a fic tremendously. Author's notes embedded within a story are generally viewed as distracting, pointless, and unwelcome. Usually included before the beginning, or sometimes after the end, of a fic or chapter. See also: H/C and/or Outside(r) POVĪ/N = Author's Notes - refers to an author's personal notes about the story, writing experience, or whatever else the author wants to talk to their readers about. Usually, but not always, the amnesiac will regain their memories before the end of the story. It is an excellent way to explore new dynamics among the characters, also acting as a way to get an outside perspective without introducing any new characters. See also: BDSM, Heat Cycle, Kink, Kinkmeme, Knotting, Omega and/or TropeĪmnesia (-fic) -refers to stories in which a character (or perhaps all of them!) loses their memory, either in whole or in part, for one reason or another.

May contain elements of BDSM, and are often generally high in kink factors. Exact details vary, but similar themes of mating, heat cycles, knotting, and mpreg are fairly universal. See also: BDSMĪlpha/Beta/Omega (A/B/O) Dynamics - refers to a growing trope of AUs originated in kinkmemes in which characters can be Alphas (dominant males or females), Betas (ordinary working class), or Omegas (submissive males or females). See also: Het and/or SlashĪftercare - refers to the comfort, reassurance, nurturing and caring exchanged between dominant and submissive partners immediately after a physically or emotionally intense BDSM experience to help with recovery. See also: WIPĪdult - refers to the presence of graphic or explicit sexual content and/or violence must be 18 years or older to read. Abandoned fics are likely to remain permanently incomplete, unless offered up for adoption by another author to finish. See also: Casefile, Genre and/or PlotĪbandoned - refers to a story in which the author has either chosen not to or otherwise been unable to finish writing the story to a final conclusion. Adventure stories tend to be mainly plot-driven in nature, but may also contain mystery or suspense or romance. See also: BAMF and/or Limp!Ī/A = Action/Adventure - refers to a genre of stories featuring a plot with a fair amount of physical (as in the "shoot 'em up, blow 'em up, beat 'em up" type and not the "don't come a-knockin' if the bed be a-rockin'" type!) action. (For example: "Smart!Jack" in Stargate: SG-1, indicating that the character of Jack O'Neill is secretly smarter than he pretends to be.) The compact format of ! manages to quickly and clearly describe to the reader an accurate depiction of the author's choice in characterization before they even read the story. Most often written in the format of trait first and character's name last, with the symbol in between.
