"in another life" - michael/sara shipper的疗养所 (保健项目: fanfic交流+剧透+灌水)

continuation - a fan fiction which carries on after the end of a movie or series. any fiction which takes places after living stones, such as a fiction about kevin eventually going to college and getting a job, is a continuation. this doesn't break canon, but merely extends in the author's imagination. it isn't an alternate universe because a continuation has no canon to break, since all the canon ended with the end of the movie/book/story.

crossover - a fan fiction which incorporates characters, events, places, ideas, etc from another fandom. if the tp and buffy were to run into each other, this would be a crossover, since they are two separate fandoms merged into one. crossovers are also denoted sometimes with the word: "xover", the x standing for cross.

drabble - a fan fiction that is self contained and is no more than 100 hundred words. a half drabble is a fan fiction of 50 words and a double drabble is a fan fiction of 200 words. or a drabble can sometimes mean a very short fic that is not exactly 100 words but extremely short, for instance, it is not incorrect to call a 500 word fan fiction a drabble.
本意是不多不少刚好100字的故事。50字的叫 half drabble， 200字的叫 double drabble。但是现在也有人把非常简短（但是并非整整100字）的故事笼统称为drabble。

ep - short for an episode of a show

erotica - tasteful fan fiction which involves characters in sexual situations. the difference between erotic and outright pornography is mainly in the intent of both writer and reader. the line between erotica and pornography is a fine one and easily blurred. however, all fictions here at expressions are considered, at least by the owner of the list, to be erotica and not pornography.

faction - parts of a fandom which are split up among different issues in a fandom. for instance, those that support a character and those that don't are considered factions.

fandom - the activies, canon, characters, fan fiction, and fans of a particular show, movie, book, or other thing. everything that happens involving the tomorrow people fans is the tomorrow people fandom. this is also used as a synonym for "universe", meaning the world in which a show, movie, or book takes place.
fanfic某个主题的集体大家庭。比如prison break fandom。

fanon - things that are not strictly canon, but do not contradict it and are widely accepted by most fans. for instance if most fans just accept that megabyte's middle name is archibald, even though it is not expressly canon, it becomes fanon.

flag-waving - the practice of dividing into faction and supporting or "waving a flag" for your faction. for instance, if there are those who "wave a flag" for adam, they like and loudly support the character of adam newman. this can be a fun practice, but has turned ugly in the past. flag waving is asked not to be done on the expressions mailing lists.

feedback/fb - replies that an author gets from readers commenting on the story. this is probably the second most important part of any fandom, and feedback is strongly encouraged. feedback is what motivates writers to keep writing when they get no payment or compensation for the time and effort they put into their stories. basically, feedback is the lifeblood of fan fiction.
