blastor

Well it was for me that, in obedience to Hul Jok's imperative command, I was holding my Blastor pointing ahead of me; for as I blundered full upon the monstrosity it upheaved its ugly bulk—how I do not know, for I saw no legs nor did it have wings—to one edge and would have flopped down upon me, but instinctively I slid forward the catch on the tiny Blastor, and the foul thing vanished—save for a few fragments of its edges—smitten into nothingness by the vibration hurled forth from that powerful little disintegrator.

Treknology

Blend of Trek (“Star Trek”) + technology.

blend

Over the years, the supporting information for all of this faux “Treknology” has become nearly as complex as you'd expect the real technology to be and has been refined to the finest of arts.

2012, William Shatner, I'm Working On That: A Trek From Science Fiction To Science Fact, unnumbered page:

The possibilities and challenges introduced by even our most basic versions of the holodeck and replicator may seem small in comparison to the most significant breakthrough of Treknology—the transporter.

2015, Douglas Brode, Shea T. Brode, The Star Trek Universe: Franchising the Final Frontier, page 38:

For design-oriented fans grappling with constant changes presented by the franchise's expansion and evolution, the details of visualized “Treknology” such as warp-nacelle configuration, transporter range, and the correct color of phaser beams are sites of intense negotiation over authenticity and allegiance.

Trek

Spock’s half-brother Cybok virtually brought Kirk and McCoy to their knees with a simple imposing of their own self-reflection. […] it gave the writers of Trek a generic bad guy that is best described as a eccentric-lunatic genius on a personal quest which consequently affects the universe on a catastrophic level.

1994 November 22, James A. Kimble, “Part V Revisited in Star Trek Generations”, in The Connector, volume XXII, number 11, Lowell, Mass.: University of Massachusetts Lowell, page 15, column 1:

wingfic

Section three, on forms and genres, might consider such fan genres as slash, het/ship, genfic, alternate universes and realities, mpreg, BDSM, kinkfic, elves, and wingfic.

2004 November, Science Fiction Studies, volume 31, number 3, page 499:

Also in 2001, the bizarre but popular subgenre of wingfic appeared within the NSYNC fandom—these stories, characterized by someone growing at least one wing, spread to other slash fandoms before dying away in 2003.

2012, Erin Webb, "Slash As Genre", thesis submitted to College of Arts and Science, American University, page 25

For example, it is hard to imagine how much narrower a genre could possibly become than “wingfic,” a story about a character sprouting wings.

2020, Anne H. Stevens, Molly C. O’Donnell, The Microgenre: A Quick Look at Small Culture, page 183:

(fandom slang) Fan fiction in which canonically wingless characters are given wings.

curtainfic

From curtain + fic, from the frequency of paired characters shopping for curtains together in such stories, or the idea that this scenario is an archetypical representation of domestic life.

Others, such as slash fanfic or curtainfic may serve as rehearsals of queer identity, might be coming-out processes within the safe haven of the fandom community, or might simply be responses to contemporary social and cultural issues that permeate teenagers’ area of interest.

2011, Codruta Alina Pohrib, “Teenagers' Identity at Play: Digital Fandom and Technoromanticism”, in Proceedings of the Digital Generation International Conference, Cluj, Romania, 16-18 September 2011, page 42:

Some subgenres are h/c (hurt/comfort stories), Mpreg (main character gets pregnant), deathfic (main character dies), curtainfic (characters do mundane tasks together, like buying curtains), […]

2013, Mark Duffet, Understanding Fandom: An Introduction to the Study of Media Fan Culture, Bloomsbury Academic, →ISBN, page 293:

Online writing has generated its own genres, from curtainfic to grave robbery.

2014, Angus Phillips, Turning the Page: The Evolution of the Book, Routledge, →ISBN, page 20:

<Chuckles darkly> Careful, now--I wasn't joking about the hatefic angle. After all, I did write one short 'fic for MadCit, oh, I think it was last year sometime, whose sole purpose was to torture Squall--and I don't hate him nearly as much as I hate, say, Selphie.

2003 November 8, E. Liddell, “Re: [OT]Where are the stats?”, in alt.fan.utena (Usenet):

(fandom slang) Fan fiction written to mock or otherwise express dislike of a character, author, television show, etc.


altfic

Another rumor I heard: Seven kisses Janeway, Janeway tells Seven it's inappropriate. Why? Cuz it's on the bridge? Seven's nekkid? Why would it be inappropriate? What a spate of altfic coming out of that....Interaction seems to be what's missing from a lot of the season lately, not just J/7.

2001 September 28, Charles Glasgow, “Re: FIC - Almost Paradise: 1/4 (W/X)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative (Usenet):

"Among slashfen, angstfic and H/C are valued, but Mary Sue avatars, ATG, and actorslash belong only in badfic. HP is Chan, and Yaoi can be ecchi."

2002 April 27, Kapitano [username], “Re: Research”, in uk.gay-lesbian-bi (Usenet):

Clex

Thus Smallville fans use the Clex pairing in fanfiction to explore, therefore, not just what it means to become “queer” in the sense of lived sexual orientation, but also what it means to become a fan.

2005, Brigid Kelly, "The Transformative Power Of 'Hot Gay Sex': Queering Superman, Queering The Fan On The TelevisionWithoutPity 'Smallville' Boards", Spectator, Volume 25, Issue 1, Spring 2005, page 75

Considering how often Smallville has already diverged from Superman canon in the course of the past five seasons, including the transformation of Clark and Lex from instant enemies to friends, this line of reasoning points to an attitude of wanting to defend and reaffirm the validity of "Clex."

2008, Melanie E. S. Kohnen, “The Adventures of a Repressed Farm Boy and the Billionaire Who Loves Him: Queer Spectatorship in Smallville Fandom”, in Sharon Marie Ross, Louisa Ellen Stein, editors, Teen Television: Essays on Programming and Fandom, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 216:

The same thing occurred among Smallvilles shippers who were divided among supporting Clana (Clark/Lana), Clois (Clark/Lois), Chlark (Chloe/Clark), with some slash fans rooting for the same sex pairing Clex' (Clark/Lex).

2008, Jennifer Gillan, Television and New Media: Must-Click TV, Routledge, published 2011, →ISBN, page 46:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Clark Kent and Lex Luthor from the television series Smallville.


Clana

The same thing occurred among Smallvilles shippers who were divided among supporting Clana' (Clark/Lana), Clois (Clark/Lois), Chlark (Chloe/Clark), with some slash fans rooting for the same sex pairing Clex (Clark/Lex).

For example it led to the incessant Clana in seasons 6 and 7 when it was long passed its expiry date.

2008 May 17, KalElFan [username], “Re: SV+ Smallville/"Sequels", The CW & WB”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet):

Clana vids, for example, may pay homage to favorite moments in Clark and Lana's romantic relationship.

2011, Juli Stone Pitzer, “Vids, Vlogs, and Blogs: The Participatory Culture of Smallvilles Digital Fan”, in Lincoln Geraghty, editor, The Smallville Chronicles: Critical Essays on the Television Series, Scarecrow Press, →ISBN, page 123:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Clark Kent and Lana Lang from the television series Smallville.


Chlark

So this development may move the relationships more to a Lexana vs. Chlark end of the season, not what the Clanites would want but consistent with what the series has apparently been setting up for more of.

2006 December 25, KalElFan [username], “Re: Call For Noms: The Worst of Smallville”, in rec.arts.tv (Usenet):

The same thing occurred among Smallvilles shippers who were divided among supporting Clana (Clark/Lana), Clois (Clark/Lois), Chlark' (Chloe/Clark), with some slash fans rooting for the same sex pairing Clex (Clark/Lex).

Although "Escape" tackles these kinds of issues more heavily than the typical Smallville episode and thus could have prompted a more spirited output, other episode sub-forums are also filled with Chlark and Clois fans discussing the validity of their favorite relationship.

2014, Cory Barker, “'Chlark' vs 'Clois': Shippers, Anti-Fans, and Anti-Fan Fans in Smallville”, in Cory Barker, Chris Ryan, Myc Wiatrowski, editors, Mapping Smallville: Critical Essays on the Series and Its Characters, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 182:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Chloe Sullivan and Clark Kent from the television series Smallville.


Lexana

I can only read Lexana fic if it's fucked up.

2002 October 24, Carolin, “Re: A few quick Nocturne thoughts (spoilers ahead)”, in alt.tv.smallville (Usenet):

Whereas on TWOP, the violation of community rules that declare Clark and Lex as the "one true pairing" leads to a rejection of Lexana, on LiveJournal, this transgression/queering/reworking/expansion of community standards is embraced with much delight.

2008, Melanie E. S. Kohnen, “The Adventures of a Repressed Farm Boy and the Billionaire Who Loves Him: Queer Spectatorship in Smallville Fandom”, in Sharon Marie Ross, Louisa Ellen Stein, editors, Teen Television: Essays on Programming and Fandom, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 219:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Lex Luthor and Lana Lang from the television series Smallville.


Chlollie

I guess when you direct the episode, as Allison Mack did, you get to put yourself in the final scene: The heck with Clark and Lois — Chlollie was in full effect, as Oliver guided Chloe in shooting an arrow, his arms enfolding her.

2010 February 13, Ken Tucker, “'Smallville' goes supernatural: A recap and a suggestion”, in Entertainment Weekly:

Other than the extreme crappiness of 'Escape', Chloe's nude excursion into Clark's shower probably irritated just about everybody--Clois fans, Chlollie fans, people who just don't like Chloe, etc.

2010 June 7, Christopher M., “Re: Kryptonsite poll: Favorite season 10 director?”, in alt.tv.smallville (Usenet):

While the fans do love Chlollie, the question remains: Will their marriage survive the series finale of Smallville?

2011, Natalie Abrams, "Smallville: Will Oliver and Chloe's Marriage Last?", TV Guide, 28 April 2011 (archived on Usenet)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Chloe Sullivan and Oliver "Ollie" Queen from the television series Smallville.


Clois

The same thing occurred among Smallvilles shippers who were divided among supporting Clana (Clark/Lana), Clois' (Clark/Lois), Chlark (Chloe/Clark), with some slash fans rooting for the same sex pairing Clex (Clark/Lex).

I think even Clois fans would go along with that, since she dumped Clark.

2010 May 9, Christopher M., “Re: Smallville Season 10”, in rec.arts.tv (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Clark Kent and Lois Lane from the television series Smallville.


Weasleycest

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Weasleycest.wav

Unlike Weasleycest, which has spread across the fandom like kudzu, Malfoycest has always been more difficult to find, and its writers a bit more secretive.

2007, Catherine Tosenberger, "Potterotics: Harry Potter Fanfiction On The Internet", dissertation submitted to the University of Florida, page 151

Although, in Weasleycest, incestuous stories with all members and possible pairings engaging in sexual acts can be found, the most popular pairing by far is George and his twin Fred.

2010, Sigrid Sindhuber, "Slashing Harry Potter: The phenomenon of border-transgression in fan fiction", thesis submitted to the University of Vienna, page 93

And if you just want to come reminisce about the glory days of Weasleycest and your early exposure to Flowers in the Attic, that’s fine too!

2012, "Family Relationships in Fanfic [Keeping It in the Family]", Wincon 2012 programme, page 21

(fandom slang) Any ship involving members of the Weasley family from the Harry Potter series in an incestuous relationship.


netfic

One of the beauties of fanfic, especially netfic, is that the story can be just exactly as long as it needs to be.

1998 October 12, Joyce Harmon, “Re: Strange New Worlds II...?”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

I still prefer fanzines because they are printed and I'm a print junkie, but I don't buy as many as I used to buy in the past. One reason is that netfic is partially satisfying my fanfic addiction.

2000 November 5, Shomeret [username], “Re: Fan Fiction Readers (and Writers)”, in alt.tv.highlander (Usenet):

The stories were also interesting because the author is representative of the younger generation of netfic authors.

2003 June 16, Lady Cyrrh [username], “{ASSM} {REVIEW} The Annex Reviews, 6/15/03”, in alt.sex.stories.moderated (Usenet):

(fandom slang) Fan fiction published online.


zinefic

When I said "net Trekdom", that's what I meant. Not all fanfic, just Trekfic. Not zinefic, just netfic.

2000 July 22, Mary Ellen Curtin, “Re: More than a few words about the ASC* Archive”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

Not to mention she writes absolutely the girliest most pathetic and nauseating excuse for Spock I've ever seen *including* in zinefic.

2001 March 24, Greywolf the Wanderer [username], “Re: Looking back (Greywolf)”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

You're right, Mary Ellen, I haven't seen LowLibido!Spock much in netfic. I'm not widely read in zinefic so I don't know how prevalent he is there.

2001 August 20, mgtrek [username], “Subject: "Canon" (was Re: Who's on top?)”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

(fandom slang) Fan fiction published in a print zine.


Moffic

i've just been working on my novel more than my moffic story, cuz... well, the novel might actually make me some money some day, and the moffic won't :oX

2000 March 28, MMMBopJenn [username], “jenn update :oX”, in alt.music.moffatts (Usenet):

2001 October 2, Erin, “LOL the Moffatts have published fanfiction - OT”, in alt.fan.hanson (Usenet):

(rare, fandom slang) Real person fiction focusing on the imagined activities of the Canadian band The Moffatts.


finishipper

Yes, I'm a shipper! I feel that M and S secretly love each other, but can't express their feelings right now due to their partnership. so I'm technically a finishipper!

1999 February 23, Jewlz! [username], “This is where I stand..”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I have some respect for the views of the finishippers, as they realize that a romance would ruin the show, so they'll put it off till the end.

1999 July 11, Marita the Land Manatee [username], “Re: NRMTPB”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I think that if they showed us a consummation or even a simple acknowlegement of their wuv at the end of the series, there would be no way they could focus on it, except in a movie, and even then, I wouldn't want more than one or two scenes that acknowlege^([sic]) the relationship. I guess that makes me more of a finishipper.

2000 May 3, Kool Kristen [username], “Re: All Things Re-Examined”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) A shipper of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully who only wanted the pair to become romantically involved at the end of the series.


Trekfic

en-noun

Trekfic (countable and uncountable, plural Trekfics)

At any rate, the first Trekfic I posted was non-slash, and I'm pretty much rampantly bifictional in my reading, although I don't like most het (probably because I don't have good enough filters in place to eliminate the bad stuff).

2000 June 22, laura jacquez valentine, “Re: Slash versus non-slash”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

Lois McMaster Bujold, according to reports, wrote a Trekfic which contained the seeds from which grew some of her Vorkosigan series.

2005 May 29, Sea Wasp [username], “Re: AKICIF: Fanfic writers turning pro”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom (Usenet):

Well, it's my first Trekfic, so I'd agree. :)

2008 January 7, Aya <3 [username], “Re: NEW TOS The Surgery 1/1 (K/Mc) [PG-13]”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

(countable, fandom slang) A fanfic based on the Star Trek television series and films.

There was some fairly decent Trekfic before the age of computers.

1998 April 24, Ellen Lewis, “Re: TSU: The New Wing”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

Speaking just from a writer's viewpoint (I write Trekfic -- only 3 XF stories written), I will usually write a little PWP smut story after I've spent sometime agonizing over a serious piece.

1998 December 6, trxphile [username], “Re: Why Smut?”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

McCoy is often portrayed in Trekfic as motivated by agape.

However, I will say that there is some truly marvelous Hanfic out there, hard as it is to find.

2000 November 28, Shadowy Moon [username], “Re: Good Hanfic?”, in alt.fan.hanson (Usenet):

I know I haven't had the time to read a lot of Hanfic lately, I haven't even had time to *write* Hanfic.

galactography

Either galactic + -graphy or blend of galactic + geography. Coined by American science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1950 in the final installment of the novella "...And Now You Don't" (collected as part of Second Foundation).

coin

‘Galactography,’ said the mayor, ‘is our greatest enemy. Our admirals make no secret of our almost hopeless, strategic position.’

1950 January, Isaac Asimov, “...And Now You Don't”, in Astounding Science-Fiction, volume 44, number 5, page 113:

Well, one knows that. I mean, one studies galactography and gets to recognize the stars with inhabited planets in the sky at night.

1960, John Brunner, Slavers of Space, Ace Books, page 22:

(science fiction) The science of charting and mapping galaxies.


sillyfic

en-noun

sillyfic (countable and uncountable, plural sillyfics)

TCP sillyfic, not to be taken seriously.

1999 February 9, Patrick Sahlstrom, “[TCP] Opposites Attract 1/1”, in alt.comics.fan-fiction (Usenet):

Warning: Sillyfic straight ahead! You have been warned.

2000 April 9, Christa Rose, “Fic: Master of the House”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative (Usenet):

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? or The Ranma 1/2 script they threw in the bin...Beware, MAJOR sillyfic alert.

2001 February 28, Calum Wallace, “[Ranma][FanFic] The script they threw away...”, in rec.arts.anime.creative (Usenet):

(uncountable, fandom slang) Such fan fiction collectively.


galactographer

From galactography (“science of charting and mapping galaxies”) + -er. Coined by American science fiction author Edmond Hamilton in his 1965 novelette The Shores of Infinity.

suffix

Early galactographers had defined it as that part of the galaxy which lay between the eastern and southern kingdoms, and the edge of the island-universe.

1965 April, Edmond Hamilton, “The Shores of Infinity”, in Amazing Stories, volume 39, number 4, page 24:

It seems like these 'cats might be left over from wetter days. I found a brief study of Rhyl done by a couple galactographers, and they reported this was once a cooler planet.

1978, Robert Edward Vardeman, The Sandcats of Rhyl, →ISBN:

Some galactographers have estimated that there may be up to ten thousand inhabited planets that aren't listed at all.

1982, Isaac Asimov, Foundation's Edge, →ISBN, page 99:

(science fiction) A specialist in galactography.


Schmucksville

That maybe^([sic]) okay for some hick from Schmucksville, Tennessee. But not for you kid. You got talent.

2007, David Lee, Nothing Rhymes with Silver 2, page 222:

You finally graduated—and with honors—but unfortunately you went to Schmucks University somewhere in Schmucksville that no schmuck has ever heard of.

2009, Gregory Bergman, Jodi Miller, WTF? College, page 232:

(US, informal, derogatory) A dull and insignificant town.


galactographic

en-adj

galactographic (comparative more galactographic, superlative most galactographic)

more galactographic (comparative)
most galactographic (superlative)

From galactography (“science of charting and mapping galaxies”) + -ic. Coined by American science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1950 in the final installment of the novella "...And Now You Don't" (collected as part of Second Foundation).

suffix

Nor were the galactographic verities of the situation lost upon Stettin.

1950 January, Isaac Asimov, “...And Now You Don't”, in Astounding Science-Fiction, volume 44, number 5, page 115:

Is there some place here where we can make some galactographic computations?

1969 May, Edmond Hamilton, “The Horror from the Magellanic”, in Amazing Stories, volume 43, number 1, page 11:

This new planet didn't have a name. It could just about support life, but not a lot, and as opposed to Beta Caprisis—where entirely too many interesting things had happened for it to be inhabited—this planet simply wasn't interesting enough. It had a galactographic classification, in a desultory sort of way, but for various reasons you‟re not going to get it out of me.

1999, Dave Stone, The Mary-Sue Extrusion, →ISBN:

(science fiction) Pertaining to galactography; to the charting and mapping galaxies.


non-mimetic fiction

In the nineteenth century, the sustained metaphors of sf—non-mimetic fiction—were reconceived with the aid of science, the same science that Arthur Miller quails before today.

1976, Alexei Panshin, Cory Panshin, “The World Beyond the Hill”, in SF in Dimension: A Book of Explorations, →ISBN, page 50:

Instead of requiring to be persuaded that the heterocosmic construction is as perfect a simulacrum of the primary world as can reasonably be contrived, the readers of non-mimetic fiction require to be persuaded that world within a text is plausible and interesting in spite of its marked differences from the primary world: differences that might pertain, as a set, uniquely to the world within a particular text.

2007, Brian Stableford, Heterocosms, →ISBN, page 195:

The first magazine solely devoted to horror was the long-running pulp Weird Tales (1923–54), where Lovecraft and his disciples published much of their work. their very appearance in this magazine has been held as a mark against them, but it was at this juncture that the supernatural (even in the form of the innocuous Christmas ghost story) became generally banished from mainstream periodicals, so that these writers had no other markets to peddle their wares. Whether the existence of the pulp magazines engendered this banishment, or whether changes in literary fashion triggered the scorning of non-mimetic fiction from mainstream magazines, is a question that has not been satisfactorily answered.

2009, Sunand Tryambak Joshi, Junk Fiction, →ISBN, page 197:

Fiction not based on reality; fiction set in a fictional fantasy world that does not exist.


low fantasy

en-noun

low fantasy (countable and uncountable, plural low fantasies)

Fantasy fiction has been categorized and described in different ways. One classification divides fantasy into two major types: low fantasy, which takes place in the primary world (our world); high fantasy, which takes place in alternative worlds.

2008, Nikki Gamble, Sally Yates, “Fantasy and Realism”, in Exploring Children's Literature, →ISBN, page 120:

(uncountable) A subgenre of fantasy fiction set in the primary or real world as opposed to a secondary or fantasy world.


secondary world

secondary world (plural secondary worlds)

Coined by J. R. R. Tolkien in his 1947 essay "On Fairy-Stories".

What really happens is that the story-maker proves a successful 'sub-creator'. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed. You are then out in the Primary World again, looking at the little abortive Secondary World from outside.

1947, J.R.R. Tolkien, “On Fairy-Stories”, in Essays Presented to Charles Williams, page 60:

From beginning to end of the fiction we are in the secondary world.

1982, Frederick M. Burelbach, “An Introduction to Naming in the Literature of Fantasy”, in Literary Onomastics Studies, volume 9, number 11, archived from the original on 2021-05-16, page 133:

The girls stress the internal logic of the Secondary World as the crucial point for fantasy pleasure. Mastering the elaborate structure of the Secondary World is part and parcel of the reader's quest to experience a text such as Harry Potter, although the central hero would identify the text as masculine.

2004, Holly Virginia Blackford, “It's Like a Fantasy World”, in Out of this World: Why Literature Matters to Girls, Teachers College Press, →ISBN, page 48:

The world to which the protagonist belongs is the 'primary' or 'domestic' world. The secondary world is often a binary opposite of the primary world; an inverse, or mirror-image of the consensual reality of the text.

2012, Jane Suzanne Carroll, “The Sanctuary Topos”, in Landscape in Children's Literature, Routledge, →ISBN, page 26:

(fantasy) An internally consistent, fictional, fantasy world or setting that is different from the real "primary world".

primary world

Now, this secondary world can be made to stand entirely on its own, so that there is no primary world in the fiction and the only reference points to the real world are those the reader brings with him or forges for himself. This is generally the case with what is commonly called "high" fantasy, such as J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

1982, Frederick M. Burelbach, “An Introduction to Naming in the Literature of Fantasy”, in Literary Onomastics Studies, volume 9, number 11, archived from the original on 2021-05-16, page 132:

Fantasy fiction has been categorized and described in different ways. One classification divides fantasy into two major types:¶ low fantasy, which takes place in the primary world (our world);¶ high fantasy, which takes place in alternative worlds.

(fantasy) The real world of the reader or viewer, as opposed to the imaginary "secondary world" of a work of fiction.

Vancian

en-adj

Vancian (comparative more Vancian, superlative most Vancian)

more Vancian (comparative)
most Vancian (superlative)

Vance has, in short, more than any other science fiction writer ‘colonised’ the entirely new imaginative space created by the nineteenth- and twentieth-century science of anthropology, […] Is it merely local colour? To answer that, one has to note, beneath the constant Vancean surface of strange ‘xenography’,⁸ the recurrent Vancean theme of human ‘plasticity’.

2016, Tom Shippey, ““People are Plastic”: Jack Vance and the Dilemma of Cultural Relativism”, in Hard Reading: Learning from Science Fiction, Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, →ISBN, →JSTOR, page 111:

(literature) Of or relating to Jack Vance (1916–2013), American writer of mystery, fantasy, and science fiction stories.


slashdom

Apart from that, it's usually for the sex itself, or to explore some interesting question that's come up either in the programme/book or in society in general or in slashdom.

1998, Theorizing Fandom: Fans, Subculture and Identity, eds. Cheryl Harris & Alison Alexander, Hampton Press, →ISBN, page 30:

Poudlard

Coined by Jean-François Ménard in Harry Potter à l'école des sorciers (1998), his translation of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997). From pou (“louse”) + lard (“bacon”), based on Hogwarts (hog + wart).

Au collège Poudlard, on apprend la magie avec les manuels de Bathilda Tourdesac ou d’Adalbert Lasornette

1999, Marion Festraëts, Le triomphe de Harry Potter: L'Express:

At Hogwarts school, you learn magic with textbooks by Bathilda Bagshot or Adalbert Waffling

En clair, l’élite des pédagogues de Poudlard décide d’envoyer un mineur à une mort certaine.

2005, Serge Tisseron, Cruauté ordinaire: Le Monde diplomatique:

To put it plainly, the elite of Hogwarts teachers decide to send a minor to a certain death.

ma nữ

[maː˧˧ nɨ˦ˀ˥]

[maː˧˧ nɨ˧˨]

[maː˧˧ nɨ˨˩˦]

Sino-Vietnamese word from 魔女 (“witch”), literally "magical female". The syllable ma is often associated with its non-Sino-Vietnamese meaning (which is "ghost"), hence the common misapplication of the term.
Alternatively, simply from a compound of ma (“ghost”) + nữ (“female”).

(fiction) the ghost of a dead girl or woman


trasgo

(Iberian folklore, mythology, fantasy) a mischievous mythological creature similar to a goblin or kobold found in legends of Portugal and Spain (viz. Iberia proper)


trasgo

Unknown. Possible etymologies include:
* from Latin trādux (“vine branch”), in the nominative (semantic connection is nebulous, possibly from the creatures hiding in vineyards in some folk legends);
* from Old Galician-Portuguese transfegar (“to transfigure, to transfuse”), from Latin transfigurare, relating to the creature's ability to shapeshift;
* from Ancient Greek τράγος (trágos, “male goat, lechery”), relating to mischief, its small stature, and other hircine attributes;
* from Old Italian strega (“witch, hag”), from Latin striga (“evil spirit, witch, etc.”).
* from a Gothic term for a goblin-like creature, introduced or reinforced during the Visigothic/Suebian period via Germanic folklore.
* from Old Spanish trasgreer or trasgueir (“make mischief”) (first attested in c. 15th century), from Latin transgredi, likewise referring to its mischievous nature. In which case, cognate to English transgress.

der

Tras de las exigencias de la bruja vinieron como era natural las de los trasgos.

1864, Meliton Martin, Pónos, part 2, page 31:

As was natural, after the demands of the witch came those of the goblins.

(Iberian folklore, mythology, fantasy) a mischievous mythological creature similar to a goblin, imp, or kobold found in legends of Portugal and Spain, with varying descriptions

From acme (“highest, best”). As a threading, from the original 1894 manufacturer, the Acme Screw Machine Company of Hartford, Connecticut. In its use as a generic company for comedic effect or to avoid trademark issues, most popularized by the Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes cartoons but already very commonly used by 20th century American companies as a way to lead the professional listings in yellow page phone books.

Henry knew better than to alienate one of the Acme secretaries.

1968 July, Stan Dryer, “The Fully Automated Love Life of Henry Keanridge”, in Playboy Magazine, page 152:

[ Netanyahu ] showed everybody how close Iran was to getting nuclear weapons by having this spherical cartoon bomb with a wick coming up like Acme style. I was watching this thing thinking, are we worried about Ahmadinejad or are we worried about Inspector Clouseau?

Doylist

en-adj

Doylist (comparative more Doylist, superlative most Doylist)

more Doylist (comparative)
most Doylist (superlative)

From Doyle + -ist, with reference to Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Adjective formed by analogy to Doyle as the real author of the text, as opposed to Dr. John Watson as the fictional author within the text. Started in Sherlock Holmes fandom before spreading to other fandoms. Possibly originating in the "Baker Street Irregulars" fan club and entering the science fiction fandom usage (fanspeak) via the Lois McMaster Bujold mailing list.

I would accept that many of them behave like humans born on earth would, but that must be an artefact of poor translation or our poor understanding of their motives and objectives [Watsonian] or lack of vision on the writers part [Doylist - to borrow some terms from the Bujold mailing list - think 'as written by' Dr Watson or by Arthur Conan Doyle].

2000 October 6, Martin Bonham, “Banks was Re: Multi-culturalism in space?”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet), message-ID <970804830.406747@hermes>:

Roddenberry's official explaination^([sic]) was "They always looked like that. We just didn't have the budjet^([sic]) in the 1960's to show them properly."¶ This is one case where I prefer the Doylist explaination^([sic]).

2001 September 30, Rob Wynne, “Re: OK, Enterprise...”, in rec.music.filk (Usenet), message-ID <74Jt7.875$oL3.24397@eagle.america.net>:

While fans recognize and do engage in Doylist readings, they tend to find Watsonian readings more engaging. Fan fiction writers in particular engage with the text intradiegetically.

2012, Laurie Cubbison, “Russell T Davies, 'Nine Hysterical Women,' and the Death of Ianto Jones”, in New Media Literacies and Participatory Popular Culture Across Borders, →ISBN:

Flanderization

en-noun

Flanderization (countable and uncountable, plural Flanderizations)

term-label

(American spelling, Oxford British English, fandom slang)

/ˌflændəɹəˈzeɪʃn̩/

Ned Flanders
TV Tropes
The Simpsons
WonderCon

From Flanders + -ization (suffix forming nouns denoting the act, process, or result of doing or making something), from the American animated television series The Simpsons (first broadcast in 1989) where the character Ned Flanders underwent a progressive shift from a good-natured Christian to a religious fundamentalist. The character did however eventually return to its initial form. The word was coined on the popular culture wiki TV Tropes around 2006.

suffix

Many fans say that season 5 was the beginning of its downfall as Flanderization occurred. JD went from being a little emotionally needy to a whiny man-child and Elliot became every negative stereotype about women instead of her usual neurotic but lovable self.

2009 June 7, tmc1982 [username], “Seasonal Rot – Television Tropes & Idioms”, in rec.arts.tv (Usenet):

Irene's whole gimmick is that she's the one woman in the world who can outwit Holmes. Although in the actual story, her victory is extremely limited, flanderization takes hold in adaptations.

2012 December 21, David Johnson, “Re: Elementary – Episode 8 – The Long Fuse”, in rec.arts.tv (Usenet):

Prime realises Swoop must be under some sort of external control as he's at heart a loyal Autobot (over the years Flanderisation will make the Dinobots more and more maverick) and does the one thing that he knows will so enrage his mind controlled colleague that Swoop will fight off the influence. He gives him a direct order.

2015, Stuart Webb, “The Icarus Theory”, in Transformation: A Personal Journey through the British Transformers Comic, volumes 1 (1984–1987), [S.l.]: Solar Pool, →ISBN, page 129, column 1:

A sympathetic wrestling savant, Eugene became, through a process of rapid Flanderisation (the process in fiction of a character being consumed by their identifiable trait, named after The Simpsons’ Ned Flanders), in Cornette’s words, “a fucking retard”.

2017, Michael Sidgwick, “A Box of Fluffy Ducks”, in Development Hell: The NXT Story, U.K.: WhatCulture.com, →ISBN, page 101:

A common form of this ["character derailment"] is flanderization, in which a character's very singular, minor, yet notable attributes exaggerate as a serial continues. […] I would attribute flanderization to Rick and/or Jerry, if anyone of the main cast.

2020, Edward K. Eckhart-Zinn, “The Lamentable Tragedy of Rick and Morty”, in The Sequel Superior, Pittsburgh, Pa.: RoseDog Books, →ISBN, page 233:

Internally, the floor had been built up with flat rocks, therefore, even at high tide, it never contained more than two feet of water, and in the evening the entrance was always damned up by large boulders so that any incoming water did not disturb the sleeping merfamily.

2012, Annie McLeod, Man or Beast, Glass Jar Publishing (2012), page 54

To visit the undersea realm of Artur, the High Prince, and the rest of the royal merfamily, she has to fin it to the Cayman Islands.

Earth's civilization during the late twentieth century when the Kardashev scale was first proposed, utilizing roughly 15 terawatts globally, would have been defined as approximately K0.71.

Klaroline

The flirtatious energy was fun, and we made a very conscious effort to evoke some of the "Klaroline" energy from previous seasons.

2014, Crissy Calhoun, Heather Vee, Love You to Death - Season 5: The Unofficial Companion to The Vampire Diaries, ECW Press, →ISBN:

We caught up with Candice Accola to get some information about just how bad Markos is, and what she thinks about Steroline, Klaroline, and more: […]

2014, Samantha Highfill, "'The Vampire Diaries': Candice Accola on Steroline's 'raw' moment, Markos' arrival, and her road trip with Enzo", Entertainment Weekly, 17 January 2015

Morgan also addresses the passionate fans of one massively shipped couple (hint: Klaroline) whose supporters may be the most vocal and opinionated in the Vampire Diaries universe.

Steroline

(fandom slang) The romantic pairing of the characters Stefan Salvatore and Caroline Forbes from the American television series The Vampire Diaries.


Muldertorture

Just another note: some people are apparently concerned that Muldertorture stories are plotless, but I think a lot of our stories are plotless, and I don't have much of a problem with that, although I do enjoy plotted stories with morals more.

1998 March 14, Suli, “Re: Muldertorture (was Re: DD/GA fanfic?)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

I love Muldertorture as much as anyone, but that was without a doubt the most disgusting XF episode I have ever seen.

2000 April 16, Circe, “Brand X Blathering”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

She writes a lot of series, so that should keep me busy. And they're all lovely and angsty, with lots of Muldertorture.

2001 April 14, Angela, “Re: If you had to choose one author...”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Physical and psychological harm inflicted on the character Fox Mulder.


Duchovbot

The duchovbots had nothing to do with it. Season 8 stunk big time. Not even David could make it any better.

2001 July 29, Marlene Steinberg, “Re: Short XF Season Survey!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

The Duchovbots seem to be waaay to^([sic]) eager to forget that the *only* reason we ever got Doggett was cuz DD wanted out.

2002 May 21, spookycc [username], “Re: The Truth From The Gut”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

If it had taken a ratings dive, Fox would never have renewed the show for Season 9 because all FOX cares about is making money. I realize the Duchovbot spinmeisters compared the show from Season to Season but that's not how the game is played.

2004 March 24, Laura Capozzola, “Re: Question Season 8 + 9, Possible spoilers”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

This is an MSR, all friendshippers beware.

1997 May 23, TempusX [username], “NEW: After The Louvre - 1/1 (MSR/NC-17)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Some of us are friendshippers, some of us are relationshippers of one variety or another -- some of us want to see a Mulder/Scully relationship occur during the course of the series, while some of us prefer to maintain the slow seduction until the series' end -- but we are all captivated by the intense and uncommon TRUST displayed between the characters.

1998 July 2, JLangly, “Shippers have SAVED The X-Files!!!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Ok do any other shippers out there just feel like becoming a friendshipper. Mulder has turned into the Ass Hole^([sic]) of the year, and I wouldn't want Scully to take him if he cam^([sic]) knocking on her door with a dozen red roses, and Diana's head in a box.

1999 February 15, SoulM E MS [username], “Shipper?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) A person who would prefer Fox Mulder and Dana Scully's relationship to remain platonic.


Mulderangst

Well, what can I say, I've discovered that I like Mulderangst and can't get enough of it.

1996 October 24, Esther Walker, “The Brotherhood 1/14”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

"3" is only bearable if you are an X-Phile, because you can derive some satisfaction from the Mulderangst over missing-and-presumed-dead Scully, and the fact that Mulder is getting some.

1998 October 4, wherever [username], “Re: Worst Episode”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Perhaps the best piece of straight Mulderangst I've ever read and set to the harsh strains of one of my favorite poets -- T.S. Eliot. Not for the faint of heart, but an excellent journey into the dark caverns of Mulder's motivations and obsessions.

2000 August 23, swikstr [username], “Re: Classic Fics--which ones?”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Emotional distress experienced by the character Fox Mulder.

We don't have enough Scullyangst with dead family members and terminal brain cancer?

1997 March 24, autumnt, “REVIEW: Autumn's "Max" Review - SPOILERS”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

With Melissa and even Queequeg, there was deep Scullyangst.

1997 March 27, Gil Trevizo, “Re: And another thing about walking into bullets ... <usual spoilers>”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Any scene involving Scullyangst gets me teary.

1998 May 27, SandyW7592, “Re: which epsiode made you cry?( you can play too, guys.)”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Emotional distress experienced by the character Dana Scully.


Bangel

My only hope at this point is that SMG refuses to appear on Angel in the future, thus saving us from the inevitable Bangel ending for that series.

2003 May 14, Chris Zabel, “Re: How Does Joss Whedon Feel...”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

She never seemed to have any trouble writing Bangel or Spuffy scenes.

2004 November 1, EBailey140 [username], “Re: What is it about Riley...”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

And we get Andrew's definitive judgement on the Bangel versus Spuffy controversy, […]

2009 March 13, Stephen Tempest, “Review of BtVS 8.23 'Predators and Prey”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Buffy Summers and Angel from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


fanficdom

I'm just a poor student trying to contribute to fanficdom.

1999 March 3, Sining [username], “[Ranma][AMG][Fanfic] Oh my...Ranma? #4”, in rec.arts.anime.creative (Usenet):

It applies particularly in fanficdom. I used to run an XF archive, and I once recieved^([sic]) three requests in as many weeks for author's names to be removed because their bosses had been wandering a little too close to their corner of cyberspace or because a reader had contacted them in RL.

1999 May 22, The Emu [username], “Re: Use of pseudonyms”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

I feel canon & commerce do not acknowledge gratitude deep & often enough to fanficdom!

2009 May 15, Alan Heah, “Re: NEW AOS; Dear Jim (Spock Prime), PG, 1/1 (Short Piece)”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

The domain of fan fiction and/or fanficcers.


mindlock

(fantasy, science fiction) A magic spell or technology that restricts a person's ability to think freely.


Spuffy

In contrast, the Spuffy 'shipper may be an older, more highly-educated career professional, but she must use the Internet to access the fanfiction she desires to read, because it is not available anywhere else.

2013, Mary Kirby-Diaz, “Ficcers and 'Shippers: A Love Story”, in Jennifer K. Stuller, editor, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Intellect Books, →ISBN, page 44:

Spuffy—as Spike/Buffy are often called—changed all that.

2013, Michelle Sagara West, “For The Love Of Riley”, in Glenn Yeffeth, editor, Seven Seasons of Buffy: Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors Discuss Their Favorite Television Show, BenBella Books, →ISBN, page 71:

Relations between these viewers – who had come to self-identify as 'Spike-Buffy relationship fans' or 'Spuffy shippers' for short – and the writers of the show reached their nadir at the end of season six, when the writers decided to show the Spuffy shippers just how wrong they were by writing a scene in which Spike attempts to rape Buffy: […]

2014, Joseph Crawford, The Twilight of the Gothic?: Vampire Fiction and the Rise of the Paranormal Romance, University of Wales Press, →ISBN, pages 129–130:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Spike and Buffy Summers from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


X-Filesy

en-adj

X-Filesy (comparative more X-Filesy, superlative most X-Filesy)

more X-Filesy (comparative)
most X-Filesy (superlative)

That doesn't leave room for much X-Files'''y speculation about the nature of the universe — yet that doesn't stop Carter from trying to inject some intellectual spookiness.

1996, Television Guide, volume 44, unnumbered page:

Spooky posters on the walls of dragon sightings, werewolves in Hungary, and a black and white print of a dead sea monster in Canada. Back in the world of Wayne Phelps but nice and X-Filesy, if it came down to it.

2012, Graham Johnson, Hack: Sex, Drugs, and Scandal from Inside the Tabloid Jungle, Simon & Schuster, →ISBN:

Maybe Williams really was in the FBI — some secret X-Filesy part of it.
