A term which refers to "lighthearted, usually short<br />

pieces written for the sake <strong>of</strong> amusement or to<br />

general<br />

lower the angst-level <strong>of</strong> current fanfic traffic flow," to<br />

quote Indigo.<br />

fiction" in Xena ficdom. Pure sweet romantic slash<br />

is sometimes lumped under the term mook.<br />

two <strong>of</strong> that Uncanny issue last week?!?"<br />

A type <strong>of</strong> story starring characters, usually <strong>of</strong> the<br />

same gender, <strong>who</strong> care and worry about each other<br />
