Fan Fic Primer

Post by majiklmoon »

An introduction to Fan Fic.

AU: Alternate Universe. Changes something from the world that it is based in. (ex. AU fic from Roswell could be that the characters are the same but they live in Florida instead and/or they aren't aliens.)

Beta: person who edits fanfic.

CC: Conventional Couples. Characters you would normal see paired together.

Disclaimer: Statement that you don't own the Characters/World that you write about. Helps keep you from being sued.

Fan Fic: Fictional Works written by fans using the Characters or World of TV, Books and Movies.

Feedback: Review posted on the board. (Please be kind and leave feedback. It takes seconds and makes someone's day.)

Flames: Negative, bashing feedback. (Please no flaming on the board.)

Rating: Please see our ratings guidelines posted in every fic forum.

Slash: Same sex pairings. Generally threesomes will be included in this too. (Forewarned is fairwarned, no flames.)

Twincest: Twins in an incestual relationship. (Forewarned is fairwarned, no flames.) Incest of any type is not allowed here, nor are any type of child molestation fics

UC: Unconventional couples. Pairings different than the couples you would normally see together.
It all started with a boy, a girl, and a silver handprint.

If you post something in the crossover section, do you still have to put AU, since being a crossover MAKES it an AU?
