A story in which at least one character's gender is<br />
altered -- occasionally via reassignment surgery,<br />
genderfuck<br />
but more <strong>of</strong>ten through a plot device <strong>like</strong> alien Star Trek<br />
experimentation, mutation, magic, etc. These tales zines<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten involve sex, but not necessarily; the nickname<br />
is akin to the term "mindfuck."<br />
Fans <strong>who</strong> prefer non-slash material, or <strong>who</strong> oppose<br />
slash because they think it violates correct<br />
gen fen,<br />
characterization. This term is mainly used by slash slash<br />
genfen<br />
fans to describe "the opposition." See fen or<br />
slashfen.<br />
In general usage a genre is a class <strong>of</strong> story, such<br />
as fantasy, sci-fi, romance, etc. Fanfic itself is<br />
technically a genre. When specifically used by a<br />
genre fanficcer, however, the word can mean be more general<br />
specific, denoting stories that can be lumped<br />
together by some <strong>com</strong>mon concept, setting, style,<br />
element, or pairing.<br />
"The first person to mention Nazis, Hitler, or fascists<br />
Godwin's Law in an argument is immediately declared the loser Usenet<br />
and the argument is over." Full law explained here.<br />

Japanese for "Sorry!" Has crept into many anime anime/mang<br />
fans' vocabulary.<br />
a<br />
Great Game,<br />
The<br />
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories gave rise to the<br />
Sherlock Holmes Literary Society, which in turn<br />
inspired the Great Game: a lifestyle wherein fans<br />
pretend that Sherlock Holmes was an actual<br />
historical personage...and that Doyle was merely<br />
Dr. Watson's literary agent. Fans have been<br />
"playing along" for longer than you'd think!<br />

Grelvish See Grey Company Elvish Tolkien<br />
A pseudo-language, based on Quenya and<br />
Sindarin from the works <strong>of</strong> J.R.R. Tolkien, invented<br />
Grey<br />
by a roleplaying group. Nothing wrong with that, per<br />
Company<br />
Tolkien<br />
se, except when aspiring new fanfic writers mistake<br />
Elvish<br />
it for the real deal and scatter it liberally through<br />
their writings. Also called GC Elvish or Grelvish.<br />
Grey Jedi<br />
GTM<br />
grrl<br />
A concept George Lucas used in reference to Qui-<br />
Gon Jinn. Some fans have taken it to mean that<br />
Grey Jedi do not see in terms <strong>of</strong> Light or Dark but<br />
rather that all, including the Jedi Council and the Star Wars<br />
Republic, is secondary to serving the Force itself.<br />
Noted because it <strong>com</strong>es up <strong>of</strong>ten in some corners<br />
<strong>of</strong> Star Wars fandom.<br />
"Gratuitous Tactile Moment," "Gratuitous Touchy<br />
Moment" -- innocent physical contact between<br />
characters, <strong>of</strong>ten to prevent injury or to provide<br />
support or <strong>com</strong>fort. Just because it's innocent to the<br />
X-Files<br />
characters, however, doesn't mean that the<br />
writer/readers aren't enjoying it -- or that it won't<br />
lead to something rather less innocent! Frequently<br />
spotted in 'shippy stories, slash, or smarm.<br />
As Red Monster put it: "Like a girl, only without the general<br />
