fandom wrote <strong>of</strong>f-topic notes in the form <strong>of</strong> little<br />

The plural <strong>of</strong> "fan" as used on the convention<br />

circuit. Rarely seen online except in the word old fandom<br />

slashfen.<br />

Denotes a story involving a romantic or sexual<br />

relationship between two female characters. In<br />

mainstream porn "F" usually indicates an adult<br />

woman while "f" indicates one <strong>who</strong>'s underage -- ie.<br />

F/F would describe an encounter between two adult<br />

women while F/f would be a liaison between an<br />

adult woman and a teenage girl, and so on.<br />

However, this distinction is not well-known in fanfic<br />

and cannot be used as an accurate guide to<br />

content. For full details on same-sex themes in<br />

fanfic, see slash.<br />
