series otherwise considered fairly "light" or<br />
<strong>com</strong>edic, and is also called a shockfic.<br />
A Fallen Jedi Knight seduced by the power <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Dark Side <strong>of</strong> the Force. I note this here because it<br />
is a bone <strong>of</strong> contention -- some Star Wars fans<br />
Star Wars<br />
believe that being a Jedi is akin to religion (if you've<br />
turned dark, you've stopped being a Jedi), while<br />
others state that once a Jedi, always a Jedi.<br />
A fic where one or more characters die or have just<br />
anime/mang<br />
died, usually written to focus on how the remaining<br />
a<br />
characters cope with the loss.<br />
To quit being a lurker by publically posting a story<br />
or an introduction. (Personal <strong>com</strong>ments/feedback<br />
don't really count as only the person thus general<br />
addressed will see them.) Also serves as a noun<br />
referring to that first public post.<br />
Creative works that are based on another's ideas.<br />
old fandom<br />
An older and more technical term for fanfiction.<br />
Latin: "God In The Machine." This refers to a<br />
contrived plot device which shows up out <strong>of</strong><br />
nowhere to resolve an otherwise insurmountable<br />
general<br />
problem. Not strictly a fanfic term, <strong>of</strong> course, but a<br />
useful one. Deus ex machinas are regarded as the<br />
cop-out refuge <strong>of</strong> a bad writer or gamemaster.<br />
Another interesting scuffle in Star Wars fandom.<br />
This term is used solely by Anakin/Amidala<br />
'shippers <strong>who</strong> think any sort <strong>of</strong> love triangle Star Wars<br />
involving those two (ie. Amidala/Obi-Wan) is<br />
disgusting and unthinkable.<br />
an oldtimer ("Call me a dino, but I remember back<br />
general<br />
when Claremont...").<br />
Someone <strong>who</strong> was an dino in another fanficdom<br />
but is new to this one. Term coined by Trisha <strong>com</strong>ics<br />
Sebastian.<br />
Short for "discussion" -- on some mailing lists or<br />
forums this notation is added to a message's <strong>com</strong>ics<br />
subject line to indicate that it is a discussion.<br />
Information usually placed at the top <strong>of</strong> a fanfic.<br />
Disclaimers can include legal disclaimers (ie. <strong>who</strong><br />
owns what in the story to follow), dedications,<br />
rating, plot summary, and various explanatory<br />
general<br />
author's notes. In Subreality fic, full disclaimers are<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten placed at the bottom to avoid spoiling surprise<br />
guest appearances. Also known in other fandoms<br />
as header info.<br />
