• Shipper (relationshipper): Short for Relationshipper. This is someone who supports a particular pairing.

• Sillyfic: A light piece of fan fiction which is rediculous and meant to amuse. Unlike fluff, Sillyfics often break canon rules or get OOC, but it is okay in the case of sillyfic, because the author intends to do this just to get a good laugh.

• Songfic: A fan fiction which is based on a song or includes a song. These fics can range from silly to very serious and heartbreaking. Many times a song fic will not include the song, but will have the lyrics at the end for the reader to infer how those lyrics reflect the character and situations.

• Spoiler: Anything in a fan art or fan fiction which gives away parts of episodes or movies. Spoiler warnings are used more commonly in fandoms that still have new episodes airing. Also known as "the thing you need to avoid making the most"

T
