EU, E/U See Extended Universe. Star Wars<br />

euchronia<br />

To envision a better time, usually in terms <strong>of</strong> a<br />

golden age (versus "eutopia," the envisioning <strong>of</strong> a<br />

better place). Noted here because long-term fans<br />

Star Trek<br />

tend to do it. A LOT. ;)<br />

Refers to any Star Wars information derived from a<br />

Extended source other than the films -- books, <strong>com</strong>ics, toy<br />

Star Wars<br />

Universe boxes, <strong>com</strong>puter games, etc. Often abbreviated to<br />

EU or E/U.<br />

EZBoard, a free service <strong>of</strong>ten used to host ficrelated<br />

EZB<br />

messageboards. Feature-laden but loaded general<br />

with pop-ups.<br />

F<br />

Nope, that's not a typo -- this is an old term<br />

referring to self-referential fiction about fans and/or<br />

faanfiction fandom itself, usually in the form <strong>of</strong> satire laden with old fandom<br />

injokes. See Subreality or metafic for more recent<br />

face-fault<br />

Factions<br />

Falstaff<br />

Syndrome<br />

Internet equivalents.<br />

An expression <strong>of</strong> shock or surprise -- the<br />

character's mouth hangs open, their face sags, and<br />

their eyes go huge and blank. Similar to the "jawdrop"<br />

<strong>of</strong> American animation.<br />

An expression <strong>of</strong> shock or surprise -- the character<br />

falls down face-first, as if they have literally been<br />

knocked over by astonishment. Usually a reaction<br />

to monumental stupidity.<br />

Divisions among Forever Knight fans, a highly<br />

splintered fandom -- ie. those <strong>who</strong> support<br />

particular pairings (slash or het), characters<br />

(Knighties, FoD=Friends <strong>of</strong> Don), traits (Dark<br />

Knighties, Dark Perks), icons (Caddywhackers),<br />

and even those <strong>who</strong> refuse to be pigeon-holed<br />

(DieHards).<br />

Short for "fanatic," the definition <strong>of</strong> "fan" depends<br />

on <strong>who</strong> you talk to. A mundane on the street will tell<br />

you that it means "someone <strong>who</strong>'s really into<br />

something," and probably means a sports team or a<br />

TV show. However, when we say "fan," we're really<br />

fan<br />

using a secret wink-wink geek code that means<br />

"person <strong>who</strong>'s into something that requires an<br />

general<br />

operational brain and some creativity," be it sci-fi,<br />

fantasy, roleplaying, <strong>com</strong>ics, etc. We're not just fans<br />

-- we're fans. And in our own aggressively<br />

antiestablishmentarianistic way we're pretty bloody<br />

arrogant about it, too. ;)<br />

fanac<br />

Short for "fan activity" -- attending cons, singing filk,<br />

Star Trek<br />

writing fanfic, drawing fanart, etc.<br />

fanboy See fangirl. general<br />
