Writing Terminology

[Zaylex/Keli]

Guess what, I might be using a whole lot of fanfiction terms here, so-
Canon - A real relationship (Feather and Convel (GWP, BSP), Bella and Edward (Twilight Saga))
Non-Canon - A fake relationship that is shipped (Feather and Takoda (GWP), Bella and Jasper (Twilight Saga))
Ship/Shipping/Shipped - A relationship or idea that you support or write about (Eg. 'I used to ship the Bella and Jasper relationship, until the last book, and I started to ship the Bella and Edward relationship.')
x - A symbol used to indicate a relationship. In a three-people relationship, the x connects the relationshipee (Correct- EdwardxBellaxJacob, as both Edward and Jacob love Bella, but they do not love each other. Non-Correct- BellaxJacobxEdward))
<-> - A symbol used to indicate a relationship. It is easier to indicate a love triangle with the <-> symbol, as used here- Convel <-> Feather <-x Takoda.
AU - Alternative Universe
! - Refers to a short form for expressing the presence of a particular trait or defining quality of a character in a story, one which is usually not part of the original canon characterization, or is at least an extreme interpretation of the canon characterization. Most often written in the format of trait first and character's name last, with the symbol in between. (Eg. Human!Wheatley - Indicating that Wheatley is, instead of a robotic core, a human)
A/N - Author's Note
Badfic - A parody
Bestiality - Sxesual relationship between animals and humans. This is for mature audiences only, and will not be aloud on the pack website. I am only giving you the terminology so that you will know what to avoid.
POV - Point of View
(I saved the best for last!)
BAMF - BadAs*MotherFu**er
