"degeneration" <strong>of</strong> smarm into near-smut. It's called<br />
romantic friendship by Xena bards. And there's a<br />
rating scale, too. ;)<br />
SMT<br />
"Sadistic Mulder Torture" -- a cheerfully burgeoning<br />
subgenre which delights in inflicting horrible things,<br />
preferably physical AND psychological, upon X-Files<br />
everybody's favorite deadpan FBI agent. It even<br />
has its own dot<strong>com</strong>...<br />
"The first person in an argument to invoke any<br />
<strong>com</strong>parison to 'those popular girls <strong>who</strong> were mean<br />
Snacky's Law to me everyone in school,' loses." Inspired by general<br />
Godwin's Law, coined by DeadJournal's Snacky <strong>–</strong><br />
full explanation here.<br />
snark<br />
To snarl rudely; to be sarcastic, impatient, or<br />
downright bitchy for little good reason. Snarking is<br />
not cute or funny -- it's annoying. A person <strong>who</strong><br />

snarks is being snarky.<br />

A story based entirely around the lyrics <strong>of</strong> a song.<br />
Thanks to a flood <strong>of</strong> sappy, pointless songfics in<br />
other genres, these are generally regarded as a<br />
Very Bad Thing. As long as a story would not<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletely collapse without the song to provide<br />
songfic support, a story can be named after a song or even general<br />
include a few lyrics to set the mood and not be<br />
considered songfic. The worst consist little more<br />
than the song itself...and the very worst are ones<br />
that seek deep personal meaning in a hot pop-song<br />
<strong>of</strong> the moment.<br />
SOTA<br />
Sign Of The Apocalypse -- something indicating the<br />
MST3K<br />
world is <strong>com</strong>ing to an end. Something bad.<br />
Named for the paste used to fill cracks in a wall,<br />
this is a story that tries to "fill in the holes" in canon,<br />
supplying missing scenes/motivation and trying to<br />
make sense <strong>of</strong> TPTB's <strong>of</strong>ten dizzying leaps <strong>of</strong><br />
illogic. Also used as a verb.<br />
spackle<br />
This term seems to have been coined in 1999 by<br />
Greywolf the Wanderer, when he posted his zine<br />
Star Trek<br />
story "Dark Star" online with this summary: "I<br />
always loved The Enterprise Incident, but it's got<br />
plot holes ye could drive a logging truck thru.<br />
Consider this my best attempt to spackle the<br />
bastards."<br />
This is in reference to a certain Japanese character<br />
spatulate<br />
<strong>who</strong> uses cooking utensils in her martial arts. When<br />
anime/mang<br />
you "spatulate" someone, it means to flip them over<br />
a<br />
<strong>like</strong> a pancake -- using a spatula, <strong>of</strong> course. Don't<br />
ask.<br />
spoiler,<br />

which can reveal (and thereby "spoil") an important<br />
plotpoint in a movie, show, issue, etc. that the<br />
reader has not yet seen/read. See spoiler warning.<br />
