ref

Midgårdsormen in Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB)

Ty det var ingen sådan katt, som det syntes dig: det var egenteligen Midgårdsormen, som ligger omkring all land: knappt hade han längd, att stjert och hufvud räckte till jorden, och du lyftade den så högt upp, att det var blott kort till himlen.

1819, Snorre Sturlasson, translated by Anders Jacob Cnattingius, Snorre Sturlesons Edda. Samt Skalda, page 62:

For it was not such a cat as it seemed to you: it was actually the Midgard Serpent, which lies around all the land: he was long enough that his tail and head barely fit the earth, and you lifted him up so high that he was only short to the sky.

(Norse mythology) the Midgard Serpent; the Jörmungandr

Used by Krusty the Clown in the 1995 episode "A Star Is Burns" of the American animated TV series The Simpsons, as "I said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet."

“Just what are you trying to say here, Miss Parker?”
“That you’re a jingoistic idiot.” Yeah, I said the quiet part loud. I blame the pain meds. But there‘s no way I was letting this metal-heavy moron lecture me about my duty to my country, without giving me the chance to make up my own mind.

Santorum says that it’s not about contraception, it’s about any type of medical treatment. Which...seems to me like he’s saying the quiet part loud again! But yes, the Blunt Amendment would give any employer the right to withhold any type of medical care for any reason.

2012 March 4, Jason Linkins, “TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads”, in The Huffington Post:

Donald Trump is not subtle. While normal political language functions through implication and indirection, Mr. Trump luxuriates in saying the quiet part loud. But in doing so, Mr. Trump exposes what drives the politics of the movement he commands.

2018 March 17, Chris Hayes, “Chris Hayes: What ‘Law and Order’ Means to Trump”, in The New York Times:

“When you’re a star, they let you do it,” the president, Epstein’s sometime associate, infamously bragged, once again saying, with stunning efficiency, the quiet part loud.

2019 July 9, Megan Garber, “When Jeffrey Epstein Joked About Sex Abuse”, in The Atlantic:

The popular Twitter meme that originated from reporter Jared Sexton after Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out his Trump Tower meeting email exchanges has come to encapsulate the Trump era — a rare moment in our political history in which saying the quiet part out loud is a routine line of defense.

allohistory

en-noun

allohistory (usually uncountable, plural allohistories)

But some discussion of the complex relationship between “allohistory” and sf is appropriate here, as the genres overlap in certain ways. Classical allohistory— such as Trevelyan's "What if Napoleon had won the Battle of Waterloo?" and Churchill's "If Lee had not won the Battle of Gettysburg" —is a rigorously consistent thought-experiment in historical causality.

2011 February 1, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Jr., The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction, Wesleyan University Press, →ISBN, pages 102–103:

[…]the early twenty-second century in a timeline where the atomic bomb that instilled such dread in Royland never materialized, resulting in an Axis victory. Over fifty years old now, "Two Dooms" predated Philip K. Dick's more famous World War II allohistory, The Man in the High Castle by three years.

2015 July 19, Nader Elhefnawy, After the New Wave: Science Fiction Today, pages 46–47:

I define alloliterature as the alteration of known literary texts to present an alternate outcome from the original text. As with allohistory, a large range of texts can be deemed alloliterary in nature, with the three primary types of alloliterature aligning with the three types of allohistory:[…]

From allo- (prefix meaning ‘different, other’) + historical.

If [Alexander] Demandt's essay served as a strident example of the German desire for normalcy, a more subtle example was provided by a brief allohistorical depiction of a Nazi victory in World War II written by German historian Michael Salewski in 1999.

Thus Django becomes the carrier of the “public use of one's reason”—the Kantian road to enlightenment given to him by the German “Forty-Eighter” dentist–turned-bounty hunter Dr. “King” Schultz, and represents the fictive, allohistorical beginning of the battle against slavery and racism in the United States.

2014, Robert von Dassanowsky, “Dr. ‘King’ Schultz as Ideologue and Emblem: The German Enlightenment and the Legacy of the 1848 Revolutions in Django Unchained”, in Oliver C.

I think the HM slaves work best because then you just have to level them up to about 40 playing through the game, and switching them out for some other more useful pokes leveling up.

2015, Pokémon X & Y - Strategy Guide, GamerGuides.com, →ISBN, page 24:

Hecatoncheires

/ˌhɛkətɒŋˈkaɪɹiːz/

From Ancient Greek ἑκᾰτόν (hekatón, “hundred”) + χείρ (kheír, “hand”), compare the adjective ἑκατόγχειρος (hekatónkheiros, “hundred-handed”). The putative *Ἑκατόγχειρες (*Hekatónkheires) is unattested in Hesiod's Theogony, which instead describes the giants with the phrase ἑκατὸν μὲν χεῖρες (hekatòn mèn kheîres).

lang

τῶν ἑκατὸν μὲν χεῖρες ἀπ’ ὤμων ἀίσσοντο, ἄπλαστοι, κεφαλαὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ πεντήκοντα ἐξ ὤμων ἐπέφυκον ἐπὶ στιβαροῖσι μέλεσσιν· ἰσχὺς δ’ ἄπλητος κρατερὴ μεγάλῳ ἐπὶ εἴδει.

The three Hecatoncheires were named Cottus, Briareus (or Aegaeon) and Gyges (or Gyes).

1840, George Cornewall Lewis (translator), John William Donaldson (translator, later chapters), Karl Otfried Müller, History of the Literature of Ancient Greece: To the Period of Isocrates, Robert Baldwin, page 92,
[…] nor is it until the poet has related how Zeus set free these Hecatoncheires, by the advice of the Earth, that we are introduced to the battle with the Titans, which has already been some time going on.

But then Zeus went down to Tartarus and released the Cyclopes and the hundred-handed monsters. The Cyclopes awarded Zeus their weapons of thunder and lightning, and the Hecatoncheires pelted the Titans with boulders.

1973, James Weigel, James L. Roberts, Mythology, CliffsNotes, page 50:

1993, Tim Parks (translator), Roberto Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, [1988, R. Calasso, Le nozze di Cadmo e Armonia], Random House (Vintage), page 202,
By this time many beings had spread out across space, both on high and below: the Titans, the Cyclopes, the Hecatoncheires.

(Greek mythology) Three monstrous giants of enormous size and strength, each with fifty heads and one hundred arms, who were offspring of Uranus by Gaia, whom Zeus freed from captivity and who in return aided the Olympians in the Titanomachy.

woobification

That is, the woobification of Logan is a successful narrative process only because the text can reasonable depend on and, consequently manipulate, a fannish investment in itself; […]

2006, Afşar Yegin, "Fan-textual Television: Narrative Structure, Virtuality and Fandom in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Veronica Mars", thesis submitted to Istanbul Bilgi University, page 110

“Good” characters are also prone to woobification, if they are presented in canon as sympathetically angst-ridden and tormented: this class of woobie includes Remus, Sirius, Fox Mulder (X-Files) and Dean Winchester (Supernatural).

2007, Catherine Tosenberger, "Potterotics: Harry Potter Fanfiction On The Internet", dissertation submitted to the University of Florida, page 100

For those unfamiliar with fanfiction, it means self-insertion and fantasy fulfillment through the woobification of a main character.

2014 January 27, Shannon Wang, “Techer^([sic]) reflects on motivation of Tumblr users”, in The California Tech, California Institute of Technology, page 4:

(fandom slang) The act or process of turning a character into a woobie.

babygirlification

romanticisation of morally ambiguous male characters


A/B/O

Many A/B/O stories posit societies where biological imperatives divide people based on wolf pack hierarchies into sexual dominants (alphas), sexual submissives (omegas), and everyone else (betas).

2013, Kristina Busse, "Pon Farr, Mpreg, Bonds, and the Rise of the Omegaverse", in Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World (ed. Anne Jamison), page 317

It also harnesses the a/b/o trope to increase the stakes of intimacy and trust in the context of sexual encounters, and to intensify descriptions of desire and sexual pleasure.

2017, Marianne Gunderson, "What is an omega? Rewriting sex and gender in omegaverse fanfiction", thesis submitted to the University of Oslo, page 103

What is interesting is how A/B/O stories explore these sexual scripts, and how the characters in them negotiate the disjunctures between the dominant scripts and their desires in their own lives and interpersonal relationships, […]

2018, Milena Popova, "‘Dogfuck rapeworld’: Omegaverse fanfiction as a critical tool in analyzing the impact of social power structures on intimate relationships and sexual consent", Porn Studies

(fandom slang) Synonym of omegaverse (“subgenre of erotic speculative fiction”)


Jonsa

The moment sets the relationship between Jon and Sansa (Jonsa) at tension with the relationship between Jon and Dany (Jonerys).

2019 April 15, Henry McKenna, “Is Sansa Stark in love with Jon Snow?”, in USA Today:

Jonsa fans, convinced that Jon was just pretending to fancy Daenerys for political gain, went searching for subtextual support for their theories.

2019 April 21, Joanna Robinson, “The Game of Thrones Fan War Only George R.R. Martin Saw Coming”, in Vanity Fair:

This sentiment resonates with Jonsa shippers who have cast Jon and Sansa into stories ranging from Moulin Rouge! (2001) and Downton Abbey (2010-2015) to Emma (1815) and Tangled (2010) to The Princess Bride (1987) and The Breakfast Club (1985).

2023, Jessica Hautsch, Mind, Body, and Emotion in the Reception and Creation Practices of Fan Communities: Thinking Through Feels, page 192:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Jon Snow and Sansa Stark from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.


Gendrya

While likely an overt reference to Gendry's Baratheon heritage, but many Gendrya shippers also hope that secret has something to do with the younger Stark sister.

2019 April 10, Benjamin Fearnow, “Jamie x Brienne, Gendrya and Jonsa: The Weird and Wild Couples 'Game of Thrones' Fans Want to See Get Together”, in Newsweek:

Still, not everyone's onboard the Gendrya hype train.

2019 April 14, Jen Glennon, “Will Gendry And Arya Get Together On 'Game Of Thrones'? Premiere Hints 'Gendrya' Could Happen In Season 8”, in Newsweek:

'Gendrya' shippers have eagerly awaited this moment since season one.

2019 April 25, Catherine Regen, “Game of Thrones strikes controversy”, in Old Gold & Black, page 19:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Gendry and Arya Stark from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.


Braime

Bad news for all you Braime shippers out there, as Nikolaj Coster-Waldau doesn't think his character Jaime will get together with Brienne in Game of Thrones.

2017 July 14, Matthew Erao, “Game of Thrones: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Doubts Jaime/Brienne Romance”, in Screen Rant:

It also comes after he finally hooked up with Brienne, a long-in-the-making love connection that “Braime” fans have been waiting for since season two.

2019 May 7, Lindsey Romain, “What Is Jaime Planning to Do with Cersei?”, in Nerdist:

The final words of Dade's acknowledgements for the novel are directed at the Braime fandom, which she states to have been part of, with "some signs of that [noticeable] throughout this manuscript."

2023, Amanda Boyce, “The Fix-It Novel: How Commercial Authors Instrumentalize Fan Fiction's Subversive Potential”, in Kaitlin Tonti, editor, Fix-It Fics: Challenging the Status Quo through Fan Fiction, page 147:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.


Jonerys

You saw the way they were looking at each other in that ship’s cabin last week, and the director of that episode confirmed that Jonerys will be debuting soon.

2017 August 25, Jeremy Egner, “'Game of Thrones': 7 Questions for the Season 7 Finale”, in The New York Times:

The episode description of the season finale, titled The Dragon And The Wolf, points in that direction as well, with a subtle hint about a steamy 'Jonerys' moment.

2017 August 27, Kabita Maharana, “Jon Snow and Daenerys sex scene teased in Game of Thrones season 7 finale description”, in International Business Times:

If I read a fic by a Jonerys (Jon/Daenerys) shipper, I am likely to feel that Sansa is OOC, and if they read one of my stories, they probably wouldn't agree with my portrayal of Dany.

2023, Jessica Hautsch, Mind, Body, and Emotion in the Reception and Creation Practices of Fan Communities: Thinking Through Feels, page 178:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.


omegaverse

What omegaverse fanfiction does is to construct imaginary bodies and societies based on premises drawn from the discourses that surround sex and gender, and imagine what situations would arise if those premises were embodied and experienced by a familiar pop-cultural figure.

2017, Marianne Gunderson, "What is an omega? Rewriting sex and gender in omegaverse fanfiction", thesis submitted to the University of Oslo, page 102

It may be worth considering if dark Omegaverse slash fiction, with its descriptions of excruciatingly detailed and shocking sexual fantasies, is a reflection of the social reality both fan fiction authors and readers have experienced within an unequal and discriminatory patriarchal society.

2018, Laura Campillo Arnaiz, “When the Omega Empath Met the Alpha Doctor: An Analysis of Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics in the Hannibal Fandom”, in Ashton Spacey, editor, The Darker Side of Slash Fan Fiction, page 125:

(fandom slang) A subgenre of erotic speculative fiction set in this fictional universe.

2007, Royal S. Brown, Film Musings: A Selected Anthology from Fanfare Magazine, page 134:

2010, Gay Lynch, Apocryphal and Literary Influences on Galway Diasporic History:

Polselli seemed to have been deeply a›ected by the British Hammer vampire movies, for his two early productions are steeped in nice-looking atmospheric sets and cast with busty, bodice-ripping actresses.

RandomNumberGenerator becomes a type that is inside generator's scope. It is simply not visible outside of generator. It cannot be named — hence it's a Voldemort Type.

1990, Elona Malterre, The Last Wolf of Ireland, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, →ISBN, page 3:

“A dullahan,” both Phelan and Coriel whispered. Coriel looked her square in the eye, “You did remember the gold, right?” ML blushed, “No, I didn't.

The dullahan could have stopped or spoken your name, or both.”

2008, Jessica Borchardt, A Fairy Yarn, →ISBN, page 53:

There is no way to bar the road against a dullahan. All locks and gates open on their own when it approaches. Dullahans do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so […]

But the values of a fairy manifested into physical form in this city—a dullahan.” Celty Sturluson was not a human being. Celty was a type of fairy known as a dullahan that appeared to those close to death, signaling their impending demise.

Okay, so that sounded like the Seelie hated the Unseelie and vice versa. But not quite. There was something more here. I puzzled over it several moments. Did it mean the Seelie couldn't actually touch the Unseelie, and vice versa? I read on.

2008, Karen Marie Moning, Faefever: Fever Series, Delacorte Press, →ISBN:

stoor worm

The first element may be stoor, stour (“large, stout”) (cognate to Old Norse stórr), or it may be from Old Norse Storðar-gandr (literally “world-monster”), an alternative name for Jörmungandr, from poetic use of storð to mean "earth", whence storðar men, "earth's necklace", i.e. "sea" (storð more often meant "wood" and storðar-gandr more often meant "wood's bane" i.e. "fire"). The second element is worm (“sea-dragon”).

But with regard to the Stoor Worms (which I have oftener heard called Sea Worms by the Norwegians), those who totally discredited the existence of the Kraakens told told me, they believed them really to exist: […]

In the fan fiction adaptation, Someone_aka_me uses the same lines to forge a connection between Alec and Magnus, both figuratively (putting both characters in the same scene and having them react to and impact each other) and literally (this particular piece of fan fiction introduces an alternative plotline in which Magnus’s words activate a soulbond between them, as they match a pre-existing soulmark imprinted on Alec’s skin).

Graeme of Thrones broadly follows that template with the drama shifting between the hysterically bad renditions of key moments of the Thronesverse […]

In fact, among some readers the term "Campbellian science fiction" is virtually synonymous with "Golden Age", so manifestly more rigorous were the authors Campbell developed than the majority of pulp writers before them.

It traces the growth of homo gestalt with the uniting of six lovely outcasts of society who have psi powers and come together as a hive mind, thus creating a gestalt super-being. This concept was pure Campbellian, yet Campbell was critical of the story - possibly out of petulance for not having published it.

2005, Michael Ashley, Transformations: The History of the Science Fiction Magazine 1950 to 1970, Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, page 133:

(science fiction) In the fictive style promoted by American writer and editor John W. Campbell, wherein humanity triumphs over alien intelligences through innate superiority, often with superhuman abilities such as telekinesis, ESP, etc.

Hobbs' Street smelled odd, damp and sweet, but that wasn't due to the residents here but to an odd mutation of a terran honey fungus that had spread throughout the moon colony, running its mycelia through air vents, electrical ducting or […]

Hugonian

Hugonian (comparative more Hugonian, superlative most Hugonian)

more Hugonian (comparative)
most Hugonian (superlative)

Perhaps it is that, as Dr. Polliott remarked of Captain Fitzchrome, he was at a very strict college, where a quotation or any other act showing overt acquaintance with Hugonian literature would have been visited with a severe penalty.

1885, The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art, volume 60, page 261:

The wonderful Hugonian catalogue of names -- so effective in poetry, so superfluous in prose -- are capitally treated.

1931, . George Saintsbury, chapter V, in A Consideration of Thackeray:

Related to, or reminiscent of the work of the French writer Victor Hugo.


Kylux

(Examples: how people feel about Reylo, how people perceive Kylux, etc.)

2016, "Dark Side of the Mind", quoted in Kimberly Leerkes, "Fandom As A Remixing Culture", thesis submitted to the University of Amsterdam, page 87

In May 2016, a month after TFA was available for legal download and purchase on DVD, Kylux was already the most popular pairing in the fandom with over two thousand stories; […]

2017 December, Cait Coker, Karen Viars, “Welcoming the Dark Side?: Exploring Whitelash and Actual Space Nazis in TFA Fanfiction”, in NANO: New American Notes Online, volume 12:

On the other hand, a handful of my Mutuals ship Kylux […]

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kylo Ren and Armitage Hux from Star Wars.


Bellarke

I ship Bellarke (Bellamy and Clarke from The 100) so hard.

2016, Kiara London, Kiss Cam, unnumbered page:

This was an especially touching scene because every fan wants Bellarke.

2018, Ainsley O'Quinn & Russ Upton, "New season of The 100 brings many changes", The Sentry (Jackson Preparatory School), May 2018, page 18

Two distinct communities coalesce around fans of Clexa and fans of Bellarke.

2019, Erin Kenny, “'Ship Wars' and the OTP: Narrating Desire, Literate Agency, and Emerging Sexualities in Fanfiction of The 100”, in Ingrid E. Castro, Jessica Clark, editors, Child and Youth Agency in Science Fiction: Travel, Technology, Time, page 195:

Stormpilot

Stephanie didn't immediately latch onto Stormpilot after her first viewing of The Force Awakens, but now sees the developing relationship as playing on classic romantic beats.

2016 February, “Stormpilot: The Breakout Couple Of 2015”, in Colorblock Magazine, page 13:

The popularity of Stormpilot as a slash pairing is grounded in canonical signifiers, as Andrew Wheeler (2016) writes: […]

2017, Anastasia Salter, Bridget Blodgett, Toxic Geek Masculinity in Media: Sexism, Trolling, And Identity Politics, page 199:

The ambiguity act doesn't work as well for Boyega and Isaac, but The Rise of Skywalker appears to offer Stormpilot shippers (and you know who you are) no definitive reason to jump ship.

2019, André Hereford, “Forceful Finale”, in Metro Weekly, 16 December - 26 December 2019, page 39:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Finn and Poe Dameron from Star Wars.


Reylo

In The Force Awakens fandom, for example, there is a vocal contingent of anti-Reylo fans, […]

2018, Kristina Busse, “Afterword: Fannish Affect and Its Aftermath”, in Rebecca Williams, editor, Everybody Hurts: Transitions, Endings, and Resurrections in Fan Cultures, page 217:

It has now been a month since my last letter to you, and Reylo is closer to becoming canon than ever.

2018, anonymous author, “Letters to Editors”, in Lot's Wife, Monash University, Edition 2 (2018), page 3:

The final instalment of this Star Wars trilogy will be in our cinemas in December to answer all our burning questions: will Reylo ever happen?

2019, Emily Webb-Mortimer, "2019: year of the remake?", InQuire (University of Kent), 25 January 2019, page 15

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars.


Reylo

When Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out, the fandom found itself dividing across one really hard, bright line: the Reylos and the anti-Reylos.

2017 December 15, Ani Bundel, “More Than The Force Connects Kylo Ren & Rey In 'The Last Jedi' & It's Intense”, in Elite Daily:

And with the Reylos, rose the Anti-Reylos who argued that the ship was indicative of racism and perpetuated abusive relationship tropes.

2020, Victoria Song, "How Fandom Destroyed and Protected Me", Gizmodo Australia, 3 February 2021

She goes onto state that Reylos experienced harassment over the death of Kylo Ren, as well as inherently political harassment that included sexist and racist taunts.

2020, Alexandria P. Sutherland, "Star Wars, Parasocial Relationships and Breakups, and The Force...of Fandom", thesis submitted to the University of Tennessee, pages 29-30

(fandom slang) A shipper of Rey and Kylo Ren.


Clexa

This year, in the truly perfect hour of television that was 3.03, Clexa progressed from adversaries to unbreakable partners.

2016 March 9, Vidya Srinivasan, “Reshop, Heda”, in The Tufts Daily, Tufts University, page 6:

Many fan videos in the Clexa fandom put the emphasis on the relationship between the two characters, aggregating scenes from different episodes.

2018, Mélanie Bourdaa, “A Strong Social Bond: Discussion, Debates and Friendship”, in Paul Booth, editor, A Companion to Media Fandom and Fan Studies, page 394:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Clarke Griffin and Lexa from the television series The 100.


Johnlocker

As much as I dislike shipping people in real life, CumberBrealey/Beneloo/Cumberloo are my OTP.
(Come at me, Johnlockers!)

2014, "Hades", "On Benedict Cumberbatch", The Nerdwriter, February 2014, page 9

Since the Johnlockers won't call out others within their own ship, I will.

2018, Daneel, quoted in Katie Wilson, "Red Pillers, Sad Puppies, and Gamergaters: The State of Male Privilege in Internet Fan Communities", in A Companion to Media Fandom and Fan Studies (ed. Paul Booth), page 434

As a microcosmos, TJLCers and Johnlockers demonstrate that queer viewers can weaponize consumer culture to challenge essentialist stereotypes that still restrict what is socially expected and encouraged of individuals based on their biological gender, sexual preference, and mental health status.

2018, Diana W. Anselmo, "Gender and Queer Fan Labor on Tumblr: The Cast of BBC's Sherlock", Feminist Media Studies, Volume 4, Number 1, Winter 2018, page 96

(fandom slang) A shipper of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson from the television series Sherlock.


Initialism from the names Janeway and Seven.

In that sense, Seven transcends femininity herself (and J/7 transcends lesbian slash) because feminine sentimentality is insufficient.

1998 February 11, Emily Salzfass, “Re: Pokes at Antnests”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

I've just started a new Web site (still under construction) for J/7 fanfic and have posted my new story "Sensations" on there.

1999 May 17, Tenderware, “New Janeway/Seven Site!”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

Tigermoth wrote some really hot, interesting J/7 stories, and I hope that she continues to do so, and perhaps branches out into some longer pieces!

2006 March 30, Rocky, “ASC AWARDS Comment Digest # 71 VOY Stories”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kathryn Janeway and Seven of Nine from the television series Star Trek: Voyager.


Mystrade

The latter include Lestrade (as played by Graves) appreciation and fanfic sites [URLS redacted], a significant strand of (self-evidently, fanon/non-canon) ‘Mystrade’ slash activity, in which Lestrade is imagined to be in a romantic/sexual relationship, or even civil partnership, with Mycroft Holmes (played by Sherlock’s co-creator, Mark Gatiss) […]

2011 November, Claire Monk, “Heritage Film Audiences 2.0: Period Film Audiences and Online Fan Cultures”, in Participations: Journal of Audience & Reception Studies, volume 7, number 2, page 474:

It seems natural in the context of fandom that Mystrade and Wincest are important generic categories, or that Kirk and Spock is an entirely different fictional animal from Kirk/Spock.

2013, Anne Jamison, Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World, page 361:

[…] whereas SailorChibi's Walking Together is labelled an 'AU' featuring 'Johnlock & mentions of Mystrade'.

2016, Maria Lindgren Leavenworth, “Paratextual Navigation as a Research Method: Fan Fiction Archives and Reader Instructions”, in Gabriele Griffin, editor, Research Methods for Reading Digital Data in the Digital Humanities, page 62:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Mycroft Holmes and Greg Lestrade from the television series Sherlock.


Adlock

Adlock fans cite the episode "A Scandal in Belgravia" as evidence of Sherlock Holmes' enduring love for "the Woman," Irene Adler.

2016, Jennifer Phillips, Katharina Freund, “Engaging with 'Herself': Fandom and Authorship in the Age of Tumblr”, in Valerie Estelle Frankel, editor, Adoring Outlander: Essays on Fandom, Genre and the Female Audience, page 36:

As you've probably gathered, I do not ship Johnlock. I can roll with pretty much any Sherlock ship, except that one and Adlock.

The ships most likely to be attacked are those which feature a male/female pairing such as Sherlolly, Adlock (Irene Adler/Sherlock), and Warstan (John Watson/Mary Morstan), […]

2019, E. J. Nielsen, “The Gay Elephant Meta In The Room: Sherlock And The Johnlock Conspiracy”, in Joseph Brennan, editor, Queerbaiting and Fandom: Teasing Fans Through Homoerotic Possibilities, pages 87–88:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler from the television series Sherlock.


slavefic

en-noun

slavefic (countable and uncountable, plural slavefics)

First off, go to the "Boys in Chains" site:[…] Girls, too, now. Slavefic by the hundreds.

2000 November 30, Mary Ellen Curtin, “Re: Master/Slave stories, sites, theory, history, etc.”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

If you just link to the slavefic index, some people are going to miss out on some seriously good stuff . . .

2003 May 6, Hypatia Kosh, “Re: new trek linklist project - bdsm, slavery, torture, rape, whatever ;)”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

It focuses its emotional journey on the relationship between the swarthy-skinned Prince Damen and his pale northern captor, Prince Laurent, confounding both racial and sexual norms of medievalist fantasy while cleaving closely to the norms of slash and the "slavefic" subgenre of fan fiction ("slavefic" depicts characters in often romantic or sexually charged master-slave relationships).

2019, Maria Sachiko Cecire, Re-Enchanted: The Rise of Children's Fantasy Literature in the Twentieth Century, unnumbered page:

(uncountable, fandom slang) Such fan fiction collectively.


parentlock

Especially because of Season Three's depiction of heavily pregnant Mary in "His Last Vow," fans who ship Johnlock are more likely to consider the inclusion of a Watson baby within the parentlock narrative of Sherlock and John.

2016, Alyxis Smith, “Fan Fiction as an Argument: Arguing for Johnlock through the Roles of Women and Explicit Sex Scenes in Sherlock Fan Fiction”, in Lynnette Porter, editor, Who Is Sherlock?: Essays on Identity in Modern Holmes Adaptations, page 164:

The relevant tags here were very similar to LJ, if phrased slightly differently: e.g., parentlock (portmanteau of parent + Sherlock), military John, genderswap, mpreg.

2017, Judith May Fathallah, Fanfiction and the Author: How Fanfic Changes Popular Cultural Texts, page 65:

All of these AU parentlock stories or series become "alternate" because of a change in the Sherlock-John relationship and the inclusion of a child who becomes theirs.

2018, Jennifer Wojton, Lynnette Porter, Sherlock and Digital Fandom: The Meeting of Creativity, Community and Advocacy, page 41:

(Sherlock fandom slang) A subgenre of Sherlock fan fiction in which Sherlock and John raise a child or children together.


TJLCer

Stalwart TJLCers were the only ones clever enough to have unearthed the plot and follow the trail of the imaginary breadcrumbs.

2017, Christopher Redmond, About Being a Sherlockian: 60 Essays Celebrating the Sherlock Holmes Community, page 171:

TJLCers still believe that outing Sherlock and John as a romantic couple on worldwide television can propel ideological shifts in national attitudes and global awareness, resulting in broader social equality for everyday queer people.

2018, Diana W. Anselmo, "Gender and Queer Fan Labor on Tumblr: The Case of BBC's Sherlock", Feminist Media Studies, Volume 4, Number 1, Winter 2018, page 92

Treating a gay relationship as a puzzle that must be pursued by the clever viewers and hidden from "casuals" until the narrative reveal at the eleventh hour seems antithetical to the idea of normalized representation that TJLCers claim as the main reason they want Johnlock to be canon, […]

2019, E. J. Nielsen, “The Gay Elephant Meta In The Room: Sherlock And The Johnlock Conspiracy”, in Joseph Brennan, editor, Queerbaiting and Fandom: Teasing Fans Through Homoerotic Possibilities, page 91:

(Sherlock fandom slang) A proponent of The Johnlock Conspiracy (TJLC).
