"Comments And Criticism" -- another word for
feedback. According to Andrew Dynon, "Authors
need the former to survive -- without it they either
curl up into a ball and die, or buy an Uzi and take
out a K-Mart. They don't like the latter, and will
often respond with posts the size of doctoral theses
as to why they are right and you are wrong."
An adjective referring to a character, event, plotline,
etc. which happened "for real" -- the actual
professional source material. Note that "canon" is a
term used throughout most fanficdoms, not just
here. On the Star Trek fanfic forums, this is
sometimes jokingly referred to as TDC (The Dread
Canon). See also fanon.
A fan who merely enjoys reading/watching, as
opposed to an active fan.
The Annual Comic-Book Fan-Fiction Awards, an
open fic/writer popularity vote first instituted in early
1998 -- voting is conducted in December/January
(watch this site and others) and the results are
presented in a rather unique form in March
(hopefully!). The virtual award taken home by
winners is called the Creative License.

challenge
An informal game played in writing circles -- one
person says "Hey, I dare you to write about [X]!"
and anyone who likes the idea responds with a
story about it. [X] can be a character, a particular
set of characters, a crossover, a situation, an event,
or even a set of funny lines or objects that must be
included within the body of the story.
A challenge must be interesting, unusual, and
original -- something that hasn't been done before,
if possible. Ie. if characters X and Y have been
written as a couple a hundred times already, asking
for more stories about them is not a challenge.
challenge fic Any story written as the result of a challenge.
A Japanese suffix that implies that one is younger
and more innocent. It could be translated as
-chan "sweetie," "little one," "dear," or even "junior." Used
as an endearment or as a component of the word
chanslash.
