TJLC

The queer utopianism infusing TJLC fanworks is shaped by a strand of collective fan labor often dismissed by mainstream sources as self-indulgent and overemotional: that of protest, in this case against toxic heteronormativity.

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 93

These expectations became confronted with the decision on the side of the screenwriters that angered many fans supporting the TJLC theory.

2018, Małgorzata Lisowska-Magdziarz, “Authors, Owners, Influencers, Entitled Fans And Ultimate Fanboys: TJLC Controversy And The Politics Of Media Content Creation”, in Tadej Pirc, editor, Participation, Culture and Democracy: Perspectives on Public Engagement and Social Communication, page 85:

Where TJLC differs from traditional Sherlockian fandom and fannish scholarship is in its insistence on a single correct reading of the text: […]

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 83:

(Sherlock fandom slang) The Johnlock Conspiracy; a theory prevalent in Sherlock fandom before series four, which interpreted the show as having a strong queer subtext, and held that the showrunners intended an eventual romance between Sherlock and John.


Adlet

(cryptozoology, mythology) Alternative letter-case form of adlet (“half-human, half-dog cryptid”)


Clintasha

There’s a lot of hate from the Clintasha crowd. It was never my intention that they were an item.

2015, Joss Whedon, quoted in Noelene Clark, "‘Avengers’ director plunges into Black Widow controversy", Pocono Record, 9 May 2015

Another example would be "Clintasha," the fan-coupling of Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, who make a complete turnaround from their relationship in the first Avengers.

2015, Addie Bass & Gina Appleby, "Avengers Age of Ultron: Is It Worthy?", The Little Hawk (Iowa City High School), 2 June 2015, page A15

YaelLouder: All of your Clintasha fic is kind of fluffy.

2019, Katherine Locke, “Some Days You're The Sidekick; Some Days You're The Superhero”, in Katherine Locke, Laura Silverman, editors, It's a Whole Spiel: Love, Latkes, and Other Jewish Stories, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Thorki

This book is not a work of fan fiction, nor a book of spells. There are no runes for casting nor Thorki weddings to attend.

2015, Pepi Valderrama, Geek Anthropology of Loki's Army, page 7:

The images of Thorki […] represent a range of implied possibilities between the characters--from romantic longings to more explicit imagery.

2015, Matthew Alan Cicci, "Turning The Page: Fandoms, Multimodality, And The Transformation Of The 'Comic Book' Superhero", dissertation submitted to Wayne State University, page 91

Some fans of the couple of Thorki are from a Marvel fan circle, which also belongs to the Western culture fan circles; however, some Asian culture fans will also be interested due to the fact that Thorki reflected a seme-uke couple pattern of a muscular and straightforward seme and a tsundere cunning uke.

2019, Nishang Li, "'Rotten Culture': From Japan to China", thesis submitted to the University of Victoria, pages 51-52

(fandom slang) The incestuous ship of adoptive brothers Thor and Loki from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Stony

The "Stony" fandom takes the comic remediation ship or genderswap and removes it from its aesthetic relationship by placing it within a new remediated work.

2013 July, Poe Johnson, “Cultural Memory as Fandom Ideology in the Remediated World”, in The Phoenix Papers, volume 1, number 2, page 51:

It tugged at my heartstrings with Steve's memories, as well as giving me so many Stony feels.

2013 July, “Fandoms Assemble 2013 Fanfic Awards”, in Fandoms Assemble, page 21:

The largest ships in the MCU are “Stucky” (Steve Rogers AKA Captain America and Bucky Barnes AKA the Winter Soldier) and “Stony” (Steve Rogers and Tony Stark AKA Iron Man).

2016, Olivia Riley, "Queerness and Emotion in Fanfiction", thesis submitted to the University of Minnesota, page 10

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Tony Stark (Iron Man) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Percabeth

Blend of Percy + Annabeth. In this case, "Percy" is short for Perseus.

Though Percabeth didn't spend much time in the spotlight in "The Blood of Olympus," what little I saw of their romance felt rather clichéd.

2014, Mei Baek, "'The Blood of Olympus'", tjTODAY (Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology), 16 October 2014, page 11

Finishing the book with much dissapointment for the lack of Percabeth in The Lost Hero, I waited patiently for the 2nd book.

2014, Areeba Amer, "The Fangirl Who Waited", The GHS Torch (Greenhill Junior Classical League), November 2014, page 3

I should upload something new. Or even one of my more decent older pieces. I have a whole bunch I've photographed and saved on my phone. All my ships, straight-up kissing: Inej and Nina, Percabeth, a few original characters.

2018, Becky Albertalli, Leah on the Offbeat, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase from the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles franchise.


Wolfstar

From wolf + star: Remus Lupin is a werewolf; and Sirius Black is named after the dog star Sirius (Sirius Black is an animagus who turns into a dog).

Remus’ lycanthropy almost always features in Wolfstar fics precisely because it is his lycanthropy that brands his sexuality as disallowable.

2016, Jaquelin Elliott, “Becoming The Monster: Queer Monstrosity and the Reclamation of the Werewolf in Slash Fandom”, in Revenant, number 2, page 99:

The continued enthusiasm demonstrated here alludes to the power SBP has within HP fandom: as Emmie describes it, SBP is “the cornerstone of the Wolfstar fandom” (“Shoebox Project”).

2018, Kasandra Arthur, "We Are Having All Kinds of Fun: Fluidity in Shoebox Project", thesis submitted to the University of Waterloo, page 142

Silveredglass, a reader and writer who primarily ships Drarry and Remus Lupin/Sirius Black or 'Wolfstar', found Harry Potter fandom through Tumblr.

2018, Emily E. Roach, “Polyjuice and Potterheads: The Changing Face of Fandom from LiveJournal to Tumblr”, in Fan Phenomena: Harry Potter, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Remus Lupin and Sirius Black of the Harry Potter series.


Hinny

Below are two images of fan art which represents the Hinny ship.

2014, Zakia Jeewa, "Social Network Fandoms & Online Role-Playing: Harry Potter and The Vampire Diaries Fans on Twitter", thesis submitted to the University of KwaZulu-Natal, page 99

On the other hand, one of the ships I hate is Hinny, a.k.a. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley.

2015 February 13, Rebecca Fartharly, “What are your favourite fictional ships?”, in inQuire, University of Kent, page 10:

And that's my not at all biased take on why Hinny are the perfect couple.

2017, Andrew, "Romance in HP: Hinny", HPReadathon, Issue 2, February 2017, page 2

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley of the Harry Potter series.


Merthur

The bromance between Merthur remains intact, and it was great to see Merlin get his own back by slapping the king.

2012, Jodie Tyley, “Merlin Series Five: Volume One”, in SciFiNow, number 74, page 73:

Thousands of Merlin/Arthur stories were uploaded to www.fanfiction.net, in addition to other fan sites dedicated to 'Merthur', as the pairing became known.

2015, Philippa Semper, “'Camelot must come before all else': Fantasy and Family in the BBC Merlin”, in Gail Ashton, editor, Medieval Afterlives in Contemporary Culture, page 123:

Given some viewers' objections to the presence of Gwen on Merlin, it is perhaps unsurprising that the most popular "ship" (fandom term for relationship) in the fandom is Merther—the undeniable connection between the young wizard and the monarch he serves so devotedly.

2019, Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games, page 96:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Merlin and Arthur Pendragon from the television series Merlin.


H/G

Maybe its just my H/G shipping ;) but I think it'll be Ginny and Harry at the end of the series.

2001 July 12, David, “Re: The Order Of The Phoenix”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

I still, however, *despise* the H/G pairing.

2002 April 28, Lady_Nyx, “Re: Ron and hermoine”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

So many H/G and R/Hr shippers were high-fiving each other last Saturday, it was quite fun.

2005 July 21, Frank Secada, “Viking Ginny? (spoilers)”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):


Ichabbie

Much has been made of the sexual tension between "Ichabbie."

2014 October 2, Laura Prudom, “'Sleepy Hollow' Season 2: Tom Mison on 'Ichabbie,' Jealousy and the Battle with War”, in The Niles Bugle, page 23:

Many fan blog posts argued that writers of Sleepy Hollow betrayed its Ichabbie shippers through their refusal to fully consummate the relationship.

2017, Evan Jeremy Johnson, "But The Crowd Was Not Satisfied: Blackface Minstrelsy And Lynching As Fandoms Of The Remediated Black Body", thesis submitted to the University of Texas at Dallas, page 78

Fans who had enjoyed the dynamic of Abbie and Crane did not appreciate the re-introduction of Katrina, as she stifled their relationship in a number of ways, breaking up the Ichabbie dynamic for marital spats.

2020, Karen J. Tuthill-Jones, "Brains, Brawn, and Beguilement: Major Female Characters on FOX's Sleepy Hollow, in Cinematic Women, From Objecthood to Heroism: Essays on Female Gender (ed. Lisa V. Mazey), page 99

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills from the television series Sleepy Hollow.


Rumbelle

Many Rumbelle stories take place after Belle and Rumple have already undergone a terrible loss, using the hurt/comfort trope to show how they cope afterwards.

2014, Christa M. Baxter, "The Challenge of Happily Ever After: How Once Upon a Time Fanfic Fairy Tales Model Strategies for Ordinary Life Challenges", thesis submitted to Brigham Young University, page 19

We'd obviously be bummed to lose Giles Matthey as Rumbelle's adorably evil baby boy, but at least there's still some hope that the couple can get their baby back instead of missing out on his entire life.

2017, Lindsay Macdonald, "'Once Upon A Time': All Hope Is Not Lost For Gideon", TV Weekly (Magic Valley Times-News), 29 January - 4 February 2017, page 12

Fan websites indicate that the "Rumbelle" couple has become a fan-favorite specifically because viewers of the show relate to Rumple as an imperfect man and can identify with his rocky love relationship.

2019, Claudia Schwabe, Craving Supernatural Creatures: German Fairy-Tale Figures in American Pop Culture, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rumpelstiltskin and Belle from the television series Once Upon a Time.


Olitz

In the latest episode, "Like Father, Like Daughter," Olitz reunites after months apart while she was in hiding with Jake.

2014 October 24, Chloe Gilke, “The trouble with Olivia and Fitz”, in The Michigan Daily, University of Michigan, page 5:

What has also been a long-standing narrative from the point of view of fans is how Scandal has been profoundly silent on the issue of race, particularly in the portrayal of Olitz.

2019, Kavyta Kay, “#Olitz”, in Simone Adams, Kimberly R. Moffitt, Ronald L. Jackson, editors, Gladiators in Suits: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Representation in Scandal, page 187:

Olitz subverts 'post-race', liberal society's expectation of mono-racial intimacy based on an understanding of reproductive heterosexuality (Zack, 1993).

2019, Shirley Anne Tate, Decolonising Sambo: Transculturation, Fungibility and Black and People of Colour Futurity, page 135:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Olivia Pope and Fitzgerald "Fitz" Grant from the television series Scandal.


multishipper

From multi- + shipper or multiship + -er.

He describes himself as a multishipper and proudly reblogged a post calling him the Captain of the Ichabbie ship.

2014, Angela Fazekas, "Queer And Unusual Space: White Supremacy In Slash Fanfiction", thesis submitted to Queen's University, page 120

In between confessionals, the JunexNick fandom operates as most multishipper (fans who ship a variety of couples all at once) fan pages do on Tumblr; […]

2018 March, Kristen J. Warner, “JunexNick: The Quietest Ship in the Handmaid Fandom”, in Communication Culture & Critique, volume 11, number 1, pages 199–200:

Ruby advises any new fans to find the multishipper spaces within the fandom. “There you can ship whoever you want. You don’t have to be in shipper wars or anything like that.”

2019, Lauren Rouse, "The fan fiction reading guide: the use of multimedia and comments as close reading tools", thesis submitted to DePaul University, page 48

(fandom slang) A person who ships multiple pairings within the same fandom, especially ones featuring the same character.

fix-it

I've written fix-it fic myself: unhappy with the sad ending in the final season of BBC's Merlin, I rewrote the entire fifth season; […]

2017, Ashley J. Barner, The Case for Fanfiction: Exploring the Pleasures and Practices of a Maligned Craft, page 88:

A furious raft of "fix it" fics appeared after the play was released, re-writing scenes and revisiting the end of the play in order to give Albus and Scorpius the ending many fans believed was most fitting and deserved—the one the text had endeavored to build towards and then swerved to avoid at the last moment.

2018, Emily E. Roach, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Closet: Queerbaiting, Slash Shipping and The Cursed Child, in Harry Potter and Convergence Culture: Essays on Fandom and the Expanding Potterverse (eds. Amanda Firestone & Leisa A. Clark), page 135

Gabriel, also known as the Trickster, is a skilled illusionist, the possibility that he faked his own death offers ample opportunity for fan "fix-its." (The online fan fiction archive Archive of Our Own, or AO3, at the time of writing features 271 Supernatural stories tagged with "Gabriel Lives.")

2019, Jessica George, “'The Monster at the End of This Book': Authorship and Monstrosity”, in Cristina Artenie, Ashley Szanter, editors, Monsters and Monstrosity in 21st Century Film and Television, page 212:

(fandom slang, often attributive) A fanfic which undoes or changes an element of canon viewed as unfavourable, e.g. a death, break-up, or betrayal.


petrofiction

en-noun

petrofiction (countable and uncountable, plural petrofictions)

Abdel Rahman Munif
Amitav Ghosh
Imre Szeman

Originally coined as petro- + fiction by Amitav Ghosh in his review of Abdel Rahman Munif's quintet of novels Cities of Salt (published by New Republic in March 1992). The term was subsequently broadened by Imre Szeman in a 2012 article in American Book Review.

This neglect of water exists in spite of a growing trend towards reading literature for its representations of resources, most prominently in the subject of 'petrofiction'.

2015, Hannah Boast, Hydrofictions: Water, Power and Politics in Israeli and Palestinian Literature. (PhD thesis University of York):

As writers come to terms with the fossil fuel era and "our entanglement" with petroleum extraction in modern life and in our relationships among different groups of people and in our responsibility to our environments, the relevance and urgency of reading petrofiction has increased.

2016, Jonathan Steinwand, “Global Petrofiction Book Club Guides”, in Oil Boom Inquiry Seminar:

Against today's backdrop of eco-catastrophe and sustainability issues, recent concerns in the field of environmental humanities include the thematic and aesthetic examinations of pollution and waste, toxic/nuclear landscapes, eco-phobia, the imperilled human/non-human cohabitation, climate change fiction, and petrofiction.[…] Petrofiction deals more specifically with the multi-faceted relationship between oil and human affairs.

2018 April-July, Jessica Maufort, “Book Review: Energy Humanities: An Anthology”, in Ariel, volume 49, numbers 2-3:

A pertinent example of the energy unconscious in petrofiction is Tom McCarthy’s Satin Island, in which an oil spill is one of the dominant motifs.

2019, Christa Grewe-Volpp, “Oil as matter, oil as discourse: Tom McCarthy's Satin Island”, in Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism, volume 23, number 2:

(by extension) Fiction that deals with modern culture's dependency on petrochemicals.


R/H

Initialism from the names Ron and Hermione.

Note that Sugarquill's philosophy is basically that Ron and Hermione belong together (although not all the stories are R/H), so if you happen to be a Harry/Hermione 'shipper' it won't quite fit your requirements.

2002 February 22, Pen, “Re: FanFics you liked”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

Jedi Boadicea is an R/H person, but that aspect doesn't take centre stage in her stories; she keeps in mind that the characters are still school-kids, so what little romance there is is^([sic]) always age-appropriate.

2002 November 13, Lisa Hicks, “Re: atmosphere or clue?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

My only criteria is I'm an R/H shipper so any story that doesn't have that pairing doesn't interest me.

2005 April 20, mis...@mi.com, “Fanfiction Recommendatios”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series.


H/H

Initialism from the names Harry and Hermione.

My daughter was finishing GOF & she was like, "Look! Here is the foreshadowing of the H/H relationship!"

2001 December 28, CrimsonRiver, “From GOF, a H/H relationship set up”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

Also I DON'T think like some H/H shippers that kiss on the cheek was a 'sign'.

2002 September 7, Tom, “Re: Poll: Ron with Hermione or Harry with Hermione?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

IMO H/H have been built as being compatible over the series while R/Hr are shown as volatile.

2003 March 24, Meliss9900, “Re: Re: Hermione”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Harry Potter and Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series.


Snily

A classic example is Jily (James/Lily) vs. Snily (Snape/Lily), which even had its own debate at LeakyCon.

2013 October, “Why Victoria (@timelinenargles) Keeps Calm And Ships Jily”, in Fandoms Assemble, page 18:

"If Snily had been a thing, there would have been no Harry Potter."

2014, Alice Oseman, Solitaire, unnumbered page:

The acronym OTP (One True Pairing) is used by many fans to emphasize their favourite ships ('I ship Snarry, but Snily is my OTP').

2015, Amanda K. Allen, “Social Networking, Participatory Culture and the Fandom World of Harry Potter”, in Gail Ashton, editor, Medieval Afterlives in Contemporary Culture, page 279:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Severus Snape and Lily Potter of the Harry Potter series.


Jily

For example, Rattlesnakeroot writes "I, for one, am glad to see "Lames" or "Jily" fall from grace and crash to pieces like the plaster saints they are. I'm so sick of the romantic picture of them that keeps permeating the various sites. *gag*" [11].

2014, Zoe Alderton, “'Snapewives' and 'Snapeism': A Fiction-Based Religion within the Harry Potter Fandom”, in Religions, volume 5, number 1, page 224:

Be prepared for some adorable Jily fluff towards the end haha.

2017, Meg, "Fanfic Recommendation", HPReadathon, October 2017, page 9

(fandom slang) The ship of characters James Potter and Lily Potter of the Harry Potter series.


R/Hr

For what it's worth, the vast majority of the fandom picks up on R/Hr over H/Hr.

2003 September 30, Tim Behrendsen, “Re: My input on Ha/Hr”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

So many H/G and R/Hr shippers were high-fiving each other last Saturday, it was quite fun.

2005 July 21, Frank Secada, “Viking Ginny? (spoilers)”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

And what would Lavender have done to deserve this, aside from be an obstacle to R/Hr 'shippers?

2005 September 17, Louis Epstein, “Re: HBP Chapter 22 re-read”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):


Grindeldore

The day after the release of Deathly Hallows, the community Grindeldore appeared on Livejournal.com. Dedicated to "[f]anworks and discussion on Grindelwald/Dumbledore," the community became a locus for fanfiction, fan art, and fan essays ("meta") on the relationship.

2008, Catherine Tosenberger, "'Oh my God, the Fanfiction!': Dumbledore's Outing and the Online Harry Potter Fandom", Children's Literature Association Quarterly, Volume 33, Number 2, Summer 2008, page 201:

After all, it was immediately after the seventh book release at Prophecy, a fan convention in Toronto, that I first encountered the idea of a "Grindeldore" pairing.

2010, Joel Meredith, “Our Business: Why I'm Glad J. K. Rowling Outed Albus Dumbledore”, in Sharon K. Goetz, editor, Terminus: Collected Papers on Harry Potter, 7-11 August 2008, page 137:

The circle on the front poster of the calendar binds Grindeldore together.

2018 September, S. P. Sipal, “Did Dumbledore And Grindelwald Make An Unbreakable Vow As Teens?”, in The Rowling Library Magazine, number 21, page 24:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises.


Malfoycest

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Malfoycest.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

The most popular pairing within Malfoycest is Lucius/Draco.

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

Further, it is striking that with the exception of Malfoycest (Draco/Lucius, Draco/Narcissa, Draco/Scorpius) and the Pottercest pairings involving Harry and his future children (23 out of 62), the majority of incest stories take place between siblings (875 out of 1,065—82 percent).

2014, Vera Cuntz-Leng, “Twinship, incest, and twincest in the Harry Potter universe”, in Transformative Works and Cultures, volume 17:

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


giftfic

This is a MSRPreservationSociety's Secret Santa giftfic for Devin.

2005 December 23, Erin Blair, “[all-xf] NEW: Never Again Aftermath 1/1 by Erin M. Blair”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

These gift fics are often requests by neurodivergent fans for stories about a beloved character going through something they're going through usually with a positive outcome.

2019 April, Bridget Liang, Catherine Duchastel de Montrouge, “An Editorial of Sorts”, in Canadian Journal of Disability Studies, volume 8, number 2, page 8:

Often, I have observed gift-fics to be shorter in length, often of a pairing that the gift recipient enjoys.

2020, Deanna Almquist, "Comments, Gifts and Kudos: Community and Gift Economy in Harry Potter Fanfiction", thesis submitted to Minnesota State University, page 14

(fandom slang) A fanfic written for someone as a gift.


Tunalock

(There is, for example, an enormous genre of fan-made visual art depicting Sherlock Holmes as an anthropomorphic tuna: collectively, Tunalock. It would confuse Sidney Paget, but I find it hilarious and rejoice in its existence.)

2015, Zach Dundas, The Great Detective: The Amazing Rise and Immortal Life of Sherlock Holmes, page 255:

If the proponents of Tunalock (Holmes and Watson are fishes) or Farmlock (cows), the fans who post pictures of Martin Freeman on Tumblr and the devotees of crossover fanfic, want to claim the name of Sherlockians, they are welcome to it.

2017, Christoper Redmond, About Being a Sherlockian: 60 Essays Celebrating the Sherlock Holmes Community, page 7:

Perhaps the strangest AU is tunalock, with Sherlock as a fish wearing a scarf.

2018, Jennifer Wojton, Lynnette Porter, Sherlock and Digital Fandom: The Meeting of Creativity, Community and Advocacy, page 36:

(Sherlock fandom slang) A subgenre of Sherlock fan fiction and fanart portraying Sherlock Holmes as a tuna or tuna-headed reverse mermaid.


crackship

From crack + ship, alluding to the erratic behaviour of crack cocaine users.

Moreover, in the more silly venues of fandom, some fans generate "crack ships," or nonsensical couplings, such as sensing chemistry between Bonnie/A Rock.

2015, Kristen J. Warner, The Cultural Politics of Colorblind TV Casting, unnumbered page:

We carve out little fiefdoms with the common love of a middle-aged actress, and we march up the gangplank to board our favorite crackship.

2016, Kathleen Smith, The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal, unnumbered page:

With rarepairs and crackships, it's the unlikeliness or even impossibility of their coming together that gets you going.

2019, "Thefudge", "The Marvelously Crafted", Lemon, 1 February 2019, page 49

(fandom slang) A ship that is canonically implausible, bizarre, or humorous.


issuefic

Even a gay identification, though, did not lead to the endorsement of gay politics. As noted earlier in the chapter, the respondents expressed a dislike of "issue fic."

2005, Rhiannon Bury, Cyberspaces of Their Own: Female Fandoms Online, page 92:

This story also appeared to me to be an “issue fic” by virtue of its handling of a character who was still in the process of transitioning (or recently had) and who specifically acknowledged fearing transphobia within the text, in addition to tags about “misunderstandings” and “self confidence issues.”

2017, Elliot Aaron Director, "Something Queer In His Make-Up: Genderbending, Omegaverses, And Fandom's Discontents", dissertation submitted to Bowling Green State University, page 126

As one woman in my study explains, 'I don't read [issue fic] because a lot focuses on 'queer culture' and despite being a queer woman myself, I find it alienating because...it feels like I'm being spoken for, and plus I don't read erotica to learn lessons' (American, 25-34, single, bisexual).

2018, Lucy Neville, Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys: Women and Gay Male Pornography and Erotica, page 274:

(fandom slang) Fan fiction which explores or comments upon social and/or political issues.


transfic

transfic (countable and uncountable, plural transfics)

Transfic is a relatively new genre: the first known story to use the transfic label was Changes, a Star Wars fan fiction published online by Jane Sehrn-Ta in 2004.

2014, Malory Beazley, "Out of the Cupboards and Into the Streets!: Harry Potter Genderfuck Fan Fiction and Fan Activism", thesis submitted to Concordia University, page 55

Examples of transfic include such popular cultural fixtures as Marvel's Avengers and Peter Parker/Spider-Man envisioned as transgender characters.

2018, Kristin Lené Hole, Dijana Jelača, Film Feminisms: A Global Introduction, unnumbered page:

Most Sherlock transfic is not genderswap in the sense that characters do not change their canonical gender. For instance, canonically male Sherlock Holmes is portrayed much more frequently as (trans)male, i.e. a female-to-male trans person, than as a male-to-female trans person.

2018, Jonathan A. Rose, “'Sherlock Is Actually A Girl's Name': Challenging Gender Normativity Through Sherlock Fanfiction”, in Genre En Séries: Cinéma, Télévision, Médias, number 7, page 116:

(fandom slang, uncountable) Such fan fiction collectively.


Xenite

Thank you so much for the story on Xena. I'd read the article online (the Xenites had it transcribed in full before the ink was dry).

1999, Karen Kiss, letter printed in "Reader Forum", The Advocate, 30 March 1999, page 6

Each Xenite has his or her own tale of why this show meant so much, and it's something I truly believe Lucy or Renee will never understand.

2002, AJW, "How Xena Changed My Life", in How Xena Changed Our Lives: True Stories by Fans for Fans (ed. Nikki Stafford), page 3

[…] she was in a Xena chatroom called The Pub when a Xenite in New York City invited her to come and visit.

2017, Liz Millward, Janice G. Dodd, Irene Fubara-Manuel, Killing Off the Lesbians: A Symbolic Annihilation on Film and Television, page 141:

(fandom slang) A fan of the television series Xena: Warrior Princess.


obligala

If Missy Pennington had let her qualms about writing an "obligala" story stop her, we would have missed reading her sexy, humorous "Hardball."

1998 July 25, GravesPA2, “No rules, just ruminations”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Of course, I'm halfway through my giftfic which I think should be this year's version of the obligala, so everyone who's speculating, get writing instead!! C'mon, folks, it's Christmas -- get over all the complaints on the season so far and have a little fun with it!
As for what they were ... well, I'm not giving away my story, but Mulder's had to be a video. It was the right size and shape, and when he shook it, that's what it sounded like.

1998 December 14, soco...@mindspring.com, “Speculation and giftfic”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

KEYWORDS: parody, Mulder/Scully romance, Skinner/Mrs. Scully romance, cliches galore, obligala, badfic, fluff, sap

Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.


Twihater

Why can't "Twihaters" like Kim and me just look away from the catastrophe already and find something else to mock?

2009 December 23, JoSelle Vanderhooft, “Sparkly Vampires Are Funny”, in QSaltLake Magazine, page 20:

Bella has also been labeled a bad role model for young girls; she relies on male saviors, her love is obsessive, and she puts her life at risk for a guy, point out the Twihaters.

2010, Liv Spencer, Love Bites: The Unofficial Saga of Twilight, page 17:

Despite the intense rivalry between Twihards and Twihaters, the new parody pleases neither group.

pukwudgie

[…] cliff-dwellers, the many-footed rock lovers finding foothold where you would hardly think the lichens even would survive. I never tramp these roads, which it sometimes seems as if the pukwudgies moved about in the night […]

1910, Winthrop Packard, Woodland Paths, page 84:

The Narrow Land was in chaos in those days, because the pukwudgies were always causing trouble and the good giant Maushop was often too lazy to help. Jean Fritz has drawn from old legends to write of the formation of Cape Cod and the ...

Draw and paint your own version of a pukwudgie.

1988, Sharron L. McElmeel, An Author a Month: For Pennies, Teacher Ideas Press:

And so the pukwudgies had the final laugh. They'd beaten the cruel giant, who ended up floating out to sea. The pukwudgies stood on a cliff and waved goodbye, then flew back into the forest.

1997, Clayton Emery, The Tale of the Campfire Vampires, Aladdin Paperbacks, →ISBN:

Yes, the internet is rife with tales of the little people, but that did me little good for finding out more about the Piedmont Pukwudgie or any pukwudgie specific to Alabama.

2018, Wil Elrick, Alabama Lore: The Choccolocco Monster, Huggin' Molly, the Lost Town of Cottonport and Other Mysterious Tales, Arcadia Publishing, →ISBN, page 71:

A creature in Algonquian (Lenape and Wampanoag) folklore, typically said to be a short humanoid with magical abilities; the creatures were once friendly to humans but have become malicious tricksters.


Faberry

In fact, Faberry are the second most represented couple on the meme, however they still only represent 8.6% of all filled stories [Appendix 1].

2013 May, Hannah Ellison, “Submissives, Nekos and Futanaris: A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the Glee Kink Meme”, in Participations: Journal of Audience & Reception Studies, volume 10, number 1, page 115:

In doing so, the writers fail to create a suitable counterpart to Rachel Berry and the productive example the “Faberry” relationship could have provided is thwarted in favor of drama over boyfriends and tiaras.

2014, Kasey Butcher, “Gold Stars and Slushies: The High Cost for Overachieving Girls”, in Michelle Parke, editor, Queer in the Choir Room: Essays on Gender and Sexuality in Glee, page 195:

The way in which the Faberry fandom has taken what few obvious scenes of friendship the show has given them, and also reinterpreted other scenes between Faberry, displays just how important this couple has become to the fandom.

2015, Alexandra Louise Elizabeth Simpson, "Shipping The Margin To The Centre: Excavating Tumblr; Filling In The Self", thesis submitted to Texas A&M University, page 40

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Quinn Fabray and Rachel Berry from the television series Glee.


kushtaka

From Tlingit kóoshdaakaa (“land-otter man”).

Written by a non-native scholar, this book contains nine Tlingit and Haida tales concerned with shamans and kushtakas. Land otters were fearful hybrid beings of the spirit world. Able to live on land and in water, they had the special mission of ...

Ordinarily they can't be seen at all, but sometimes kushtakas reveal themselves in elusive shadowy forms; sometimes they are only heard; sometimes the contaminated victim experiences their reality in the furriness of his own arms and legs ...

2003, Mary Giraudo Beck, Shamans and Kushtakas: North Coast Tales of the Supernatural, Graphic Arts Books, →ISBN:

If a body could not be recovered and cremated, a drowning victim might become a kushtaka, a half-man, half-otter changeling that occupies the realm between life and death.

2010, Lynn Schooler, Walking Home: A Traveler in the Alaskan Wilderness, a Journey into the Human Heart, Bloomsbury Publishing USA, →ISBN, page 20:

I learned that kushtakas “saved” drowned people by transforming them into their own kind. Most of the stories told of drowning victims who used their newly acquired supernatural powers to help their living relatives. That seemed pretty benign.

2010, Mark A. Zeiger, Shy Ghosts Dancing: Dark Tales from Southeast Alaska, Yeldagalga Publications LLC, →ISBN, page 85:

A mythical part-otter, part-human shapeshifter, in Tlingit and Tsimshian folklore, sometimes represented as tricksters and at other times as helpful beings who save (and turn) drowning victims.

1997, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Crawling Chaos: Selected Pulp Fiction:

1999, Glen Grant, Obake Files: Ghostly Encounters in Supernatural Hawai'I, Mutual Publishing Company, →ISBN, page 122:

"And he hide; da buggah wen hide; if you discovered by a nightmarcher, they take you, boy. So, folks, always watch da road. Go where it's safe." The haole couple next to me nervously chuckled. An understated fright.

2002, Rona Tamiko Halualani, In the Name of Hawaiians: Native Identities and Cultural Politics, U of Minnesota Press, →ISBN, page 166:

Something from Irene's journals, about what to do if you happen across a nightmarcher on a moon-filled night.

2018, J. Lincoln Fenn, The Nightmarchers, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN:

In Hawaiian folklore, a ghost of an ancient Hawaiian warrior who marches together with other such ghosts on certain sacred nights from their burial sites or the ocean to the sites of ancient battles or sacred places.


Buffydom

On the many chatrooms dedicated to Buffydom, fans refer to it as "the incredible shrinking Buffy," most evident during the fighting sequences, when Sarah Michelle Gellar's stunt double (who actually has curves) switches off not-so-seamlessly with Gellar.

2002, Rachel Thompson, "Staking It To The Man", Herizons, Summer 2002, page 25

There are, however, strong roots in Valley Girl expressions and some slayer jargon has been established by both the show itself and the early years of Buffy'''dom online.

2013, Liz Medendorp, “Buffyspeak: The Internal and External Impact of Slayer Slang”, in Jennifer K. Stuller, editor, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, page 67:

The current volume, however, is not only a major contribution to academic Buffydom.

2017, Anahid Kassabian, “Afterword”, in Paul Gregory Attinello, Janet K. Halfyard, Vanessa Knights, editors, Music, Sound and Silence in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, page 249:

(fandom slang) The fandom of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Is Tara the only human character in Buffydom who isn't an only child (not counting the special case of Dawn)?

2000 December 16, Jerry McLaughlin, “Family”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

If there is one thing that has been consistant^([sic]) in Buffydom, it is that revenge is not a good thing.

2003 March 26, Dan Armato, “Re: 7th Season Buffy - Lies My Parents Told Me - 5 star poll - SPOILERS AHOY”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

Dawn and the others, much like ants, are oblivious to reality and live in the miniscule^([sic]) world of Buffy'''dom (the kingdom of the Slayer), just as we might find ourselves marching like ants through our own lives in mindless routine.

2014, Lori M. Butler, “'The Ants Go Marching': Effective Lyrics in Buffy Episodes”, in Sally Emmons-Featherston, Jim Ford, editors, The Truth of Buffy: Essays on Fiction Illuminating Reality, page 121:

(fandom slang) The fictional universe which serves as the setting for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


Swan Queen

Swan + Queen, a combination of Emma Swan's surname and Regina Mills' title as the Evil Queen, likely chosen to reference the character in the ballet Swan Lake.

Swan Queen fans argue that the show runners of OUAT use subtextual codes within canonical storylines in an effort to queerbait the show’s queer audience members.

2017, Shannon A. Suddeth, "(Dis)Enchanted: (Re)constructing Love and Creating Community in the Once Upon a Time Queer Fandom", thesis submitted to the University of South Florida, page iii

[…] for OUaT, the “Swan Queen” ship, pairing protagonist Emma Swan and evil queen Regina Mills, is one of the most dominant on Tumblr.

2018, Pauline Greenhill, “Cinematic”, in Pauline Greenhill, Jill Terry Rudy, Naomi Hamer, Lauren Bosc, editors, The Routledge Companion to Media and Fairy-Tale Cultures, unnumbered page:

While not all queer female OUAT fans are SQ shippers, and other femslash ships do exist within the fandom, the Swan Queen fandom is the largest and most vocal femslash fandom (and possibly ship fandom in general) within the broader OUAT fandom and is the fandom SUAS is written about and for.

2019, Colleen E. Johnson, "Femslash Fanfiction as a Reparative Practice of Critique", thesis submitted to Oregon State University, page 8

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Emma Swan and Regina Mills from the television series Once Upon a Time.

Everlark

I am a strong supporter of Everlark (ship name of Everdeen and Mellark).

2015, Justin Andrews, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 concludes triology on a high note", The Speaking Eagle (Juan Diego Catholic High School), 10 December 2015, page 17

As to the aforementioned media universe, we can consider the contrast between Hunger Games’ couples Everlark (Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark) and Everthorne (Katniss Everdeen/Gale Hawthorne); […]

2017, Romana Andò, “Girls and the Media: Girlhood Studies Agenda and Prospects in Italy”, in Gender/Sexuality/Italy, number 4, page 110:

it’s okay to be an Everlark shipper who still likes and respects Gale, and it’s okay to be an Everthorne shipper who adores and admires Peeta.

2019, "the-fab-fandoms", quoted in Lina Holst & Rebecca Ågren, "'It’s not a phase, Mom!!!': Om identitetsskapande inom fankultur", thesis submitted to the University of Gothenburg, page 61

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games series.


Everthorne

People who support Everthorne (ship name of Everdeen and Hawthorne) do not understand the series at all.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne from The Hunger Games series.


Peeniss

Blend of Peeta + Katniss, as an intentional, jocular homophone of penis.

We think they should just move on because everyone has ditched Team Edward for Team PeeNiss.

2012 October 11, Haley Boston, “The Rundown”, in The Daily Northwestern, Northwestern University, page 4:

They just want to see Katniss and Peeta — or, as the Interwebs have so graciously dubbed their union, “Peeniss” — pair off.

2014 November 24, Gillian Edevane, “Penultimate ‘Hunger Games’ features geopolitical undertones”, in The Daily Californian:

do i have a preference between galeniss and peeniss (or everlark vs. everthorne idk what’s katniss/gale’s last name ship name?) yes.

2019, "allisonarghent-archive", quoted in Lina Holst & Rebecca Ågren, "'It’s not a phase, Mom!!!': Om identitetsskapande inom fankultur", thesis submitted to the University of Gothenburg, page 61

(fandom slang, humorous) The ship of characters Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series.


Bedward

My problems with the series go further than Bedward's "relationship."

2010, Gabrielle Abutom, "'Twilight' is a sick, twisted series", Daily Titan (California State University, Fullerton), 11 October 2010, page 4

When Bedward's desire to touch each other becomes unbearable, the overwhelming sexual tension is handily dispersed into a far less exciting bodily necessity: hunger.

2013 February 12, Poppy Bullard, “In Defence of Twilight, sort of”, in Nouse, University of York, page M5:

Take, for example, Bedward: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight; […]

2016, Taylor Scheibe, "Plot Twist", Echo (Columbia College Chicago), May 2016, page 35

Oncer

And fun because, well, he gets to interact with “Oncers” at fan events like PaleyFest and Comic Con […]

2013 June, Hiko Mitsuzuka, “Charmed & Generous: Josh Dallas”, in Bello, number 47, page 14:

Katy Lewis, a resident of Whitehorse, Yukon, is a 'Oncer'—a super fan of the popular TV show Once Upon a Time.

2014, Matthew Hoekstra, "Once draws super fans to Steveston", The Richmond Review, 21 March 2014, page 1 (image caption)

2015 October 2, “Contents”, in Richmond News, page A3:

Adoribull

"Adoribull" Homosexuality

2016, Kim Johansen Østby, "From Embracing Eternity to Riding the Bull: Representations of Homosexuality and Gender in the Video Game Series Mass Effect and Dragon Age", thesis submitted to the University of Oslo, page 319

Firstly, the game only hints at the Adoribull relationship and does not provide more than a dozen dialogue lines, which enables fan writers to develop this relationship freely and divert from the original storyline.

2018 April, Gaspard Pelurson, “Mustaches, Blood Magic and Interspecies Sex: Navigating the Non-Heterosexuality of Dorian Pavus”, in Game Studies, volume 18, number 1, unnumbered page:

I personally, love Adoribull as a ship. I think it is one built entirely on mutual attraction and want, that develops into a proper romance.

2019, "Aslinncosplay", quoted in Olga Svedin, "Fans som bråkar: Fans reaktioner på representationer av queerhet i dataspelet Dragon Age: Inquisition", thesis submitted to Stockholm University, page 38

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Dorian Pavus and the Iron Bull from the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Olicity

Now, we're watching to find out if “Olicity” is a go. We'll see how the Diggle-Felicity-Oliver dynamics change as Olicity's relationship hopefully heats up.

2014, Michelle Rushefsky, "Shows On The CW", The Current (Nova Southeastern University), Volume 25, Issue 6, 30 September 2014, page 12

Since he has dated nearly every other girl on the show for at least some period of time, the romantic tension for “Olicity” has grown.

2014, Esther Ponce De Leon, "DC Comics Builds Small-Screen Superhero Empire", The Miami Hurricane (University of Miami), Volume 93, Issue 12, 6 October 2014 - 8 October 2014, page 7

At the same time, [fan] Smoak & Arrow recognizes that not every viewer shares her and her followers' love for Olicity.

2017, Tanya R. Cochrane, Meghan K. Winchell, “When Fans Know Best: Oliciters Right the Ships”, in James F. Iaccino, Cory Barker, Myc Wiatrowski, editors, Arrow and Superhero Television: Essays on Themes and Characters of the Series, pages 199–200:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) and Felicity Smoak from the television series Arrow.


Scira

Even though I still love Allisaac and Scira, I still think Scallison is the #1.

2014 May, “Interview with @HoechlinArmy”, in Fandoms Assemble, page 8:

2015, "Rabid Fairy", "11 Reasons Why Scira is better than Scallison", Midnight Writers, February 2015, page 14

So, watching the show bc Stydia is a right reason? watching the show bc Scira is a right reason? watching the show bc Scallison is a right reason? watching the show bc Allisaac is a right reason? But watching the show bc Sterek is a big no-no?

2017, "stormyhale", quoted in Taylor Boulware, "Fascination/Frustration: Slash Fandom, Genre, and Queer Uptake", dissertation submitted to the University of Washington, page 74

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Scott McCall and Kira Yukimura from the television series Teen Wolf.


Stydia

It has already been confirmed that Stydia fans are going to be very pleased with the season.

2016, Giselle Galletti, "Teen Wolf season 6 impressions", MyDSHSNews (Dripping Springs High School), December 2016, page 11

For years, it was one of the most-watched shows among young people, offering a fair share of action, humor, drama, horror, ships (Stydia, anyone?) and frequent lessons on mythological creatures.

2017 November, Olivia Singh, “Holland Roden”, in NKD, page 43:

Further, Stiles’ sarcastic agreement when Brunksi tells him that they’d be having this same conversation if he were dating Lydia, the band’s female drummer, is a further reiteration of this critique, directly referencing Teen Wolf’s support of the heterosexual Stiles/Lydia (Stydia) ship in contrast to its rejection of Sterek.

2017, Taylor Boulware, "Fascination/Frustration: Slash Fandom, Genre, and Queer Uptake", dissertation submitted to the University of Washington, page 86

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Stiles Stilinski and Lydia Martin from the television series Teen Wolf.


Scallison

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Scott McCall and Allison Argent from the television series Teen Wolf.


Clexana

Gough and/or Millar were quoted as saying they thought 6 was their best season creatively, and they thought the whole "Clexana" thing was well done and they've never understood why the online fans don't like Lana.

2007 July 31, KalElFan [username], “"Kara, Supergirl" on CBS? (was Re: SV+ Supergirl Spin-Off Done Deal?)”, in alt.tv.smallville (Usenet):

The writers should have really given Lexana more of a back story, if they intended to create a Clexana love triangle.

2008, Melanie E. S. Kohnen (quoting a 2006 post from Television Without Pity), "The Adventures of a Repressed Farm Boy and the Billionaire Who Loves Him: Queer Spectatorship in Smallville Fandom", in Teen Television: Essays on Programming and Fandom (eds. Sharon Marie Ross & Louisa Ellen Stein), page 15

Clark, Lex and Lana are thus 'shipped' (i.e. 'relation-shipped') into 'Clexana' (Kohnen, 214).

2018, Shawn Malley, Excavating the Future: Archaeology and Geopolitics in Contemporary North American Science Fiction Film and Television, page 123:

(fandom slang) The love triangle/OT3 of characters Clark Kent, Lex Luthor, and Lana Lang from the television series Smallville.


Kurtofsky

By drilling down further, the results reveal that half of those are Klaine stories and a third are Kurtofsky (the pairing of Kurt with his bully turned secret admirer)

2013 May, Hannah Ellison, “Submissives, Nekos and Futanaris: A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the Glee Kink Meme”, in Participations: Journal of Audience & Reception Studies, volume 10, number 1, page 117:

On the fan fiction site, participants began writing “Kurtofsky” (Kurt/Dave pairing) romances in response to this plot twist, which I read avidly to see the participant reaction to this unexpected pairing.

2017, Mandy Rita Stewart, "Digital Literacies And 'glee': The Role Of Fan Fiction Virtual Writing And Social Commentary In Response To Bullying Themes With Adolescent Writers", dissertation submitted to Wayne State University, page 1

Besides discussing the series and rooting for specific, slang-labelled twosomes (such as the heterosexual duo nicknamed "Finchel", Finn and Rachel, or the same-sex couple of "Kurtofsky", Kurt and Karofsky), fans have contributed to the diffusion and re-mediation of the show so much that the Glee phenomenon has been defined as "a user-generated musical epidemic" (Zaccone 2009; online, my translation).

2015, Alice Casarini, “Chorus Lines–Translating Musical Television Series in the Age of Participatory Culture: The Case of Glee”, in Jorge Díaz Cintas, Josélia Neves, editors, Audiovisual Translation: Taking Stock, page 216:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kurt Hummel and Dave Karofsky from the television series Glee.


Cophine

But Manson offers these words of encouragement for fans of Cosima/Delphine: "There's always hope for 'Cophine.' "

2015 May 9, Marisa Roffman, “'Orphan Black' Creators on Justin Chatwin's 'Dark' Character, Potential Clone Reunion”, in The Hollywood Reporter:

Fans of the show were closely watching for plot developments on the Cophine front […]

2016 June 17, Bethonie Butler, “The 'Orphan Black' finale gave fans a major reunion, but what comes next?”, in The Washington Post:

For instance, my OTP is Cophine—Cosima and Delphine from Orphan Black. This means my fannish identity and online fandom involves reading Cophine-centric fanfiction, watching or making Cophine fanvids, creating angsty or hopeful playlists on 8tracks, buying t-shirts and tote bags on Redbubble, liveblogging new episodes, forming group chats to discuss the show, and, as an academic fan, I even write research papers about Orphan Black and Cophine.

2016, Bethany A. Scettrini, "Fan Responses to Orphan Black and The 100 via Blogs, Fan Fiction, and Ship Wars", thesis submitted to Baylor University, page 50

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Cosima Niehaus and Delphine Cormier from the television series Orphan Black.


Emison

Adherence to canon is crucial for non-AU (alternate universe) fictions, but Emison shippers invert canonical events to draw attention to the textual margins wherein Emison arguably exists.

2016, William Patrick Bingham, "Queer Fan Practices Online: Digital Fan Production as a Negotiation of LGBT Representation in Pretty Little Liars", thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia, page 121

“The Glove That Rocks the Cradle” was a bittersweet episode for Pretty Little Liars fans as “Emison” shippers got their greatest wish and Aria (Lucy Hale) began to buckle under the A.D. pressure.

2017 May 31, “Pretty Little Liars: Two Liars Get Together as One Falls Apart”, in The Ledger:

Popular fan-fic writer JennasSunglasses writes extensively, as do many others, about Emison: the lesbian relationship between Emily and Alison.

2017 June 29, Anna Cafolla, “#PLLGameOver: Farewell Pretty Little Liars, the most fancentric TV show yet”, in The Guardian:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Emily Fields and Alison DiLaurentis from the television series Pretty Little Liars.


Rizzles

Quite a few pop culture pieces about the show discuss “Rizzles,” a name the fan base created for a hypothetical Rizzoli-Isles pairing.

2016, Lucia Scott, "They Won't: Analyzing Queerbaiting and Compulsory Heterosexuality in Popular Television", thesis submitted to Baylor University, page 25

R&I producers have commented that they did not intend to depict sexual tension between Jane and Maura, and stated or strongly implied that the pairing would never become romantic, but they have also revealed an intent to encourage the hopes of Jane/Maura (or "Rizzles") fans.

2017, Eve Ng, “Between text, paratext, and context: Queerbaiting and the contemporary media landscape”, in Transformative Works and Cultures, volume 24:

Finally I want to contribute to both academic fields by analyzing three fan videos created by fans from the Rizzles fandom.

2019, Liselot Jacobs, "The Power of Representation: Rethinking Sexuality and Challenging Heteronormativity in Rizzoli & Isles Fan Videos", thesis submitted to Utrecht University, page 5

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles from the television series Rizzoli & Isles.


plot coupon

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

[…] pain to see Clute single-handedly tackle multi-volume fantasy extrusion-product, with its flimsy plot coupons and its stale eucatastrophes.

2004, Foundation, volume 33, numbers 90-92, page 126:

(fandom slang) An object sought by a character in a story in order to achieve some objective, having little purpose beyond advancing the plot.


Hollstein

Blend of Hollis + Karnstein, presumably as a play on Holstein.

Hollstein shippers didn't really understand the fact that some people didn't ship the same thing as them, and I myself received a lot of anonymous hate for not shipping them.

2016, Aimee, quoted in Shannon Morrison, "Navigating and Exploring LGBT Identity in Fandom", paper submitted to the College of Charleston

Watching two out actors portray dream duo "Hollstein" provides an extra frisson and makes Natasha and Elise's passion for positive queer representation all the more powerful.

2017 December, Roxy Bourdillon, “The Little Web Series That Did”, in Diva, page 32:

As the series' main characters, Hollstein are immensely popular and the relationship has provided the emotional rollercoaster ride for characters and viewers that might be expected from such a relationship in a complex serial narrative.

2019, Lorna Jowett, “'Most of You Are Wondering Who the Heck I Am': Carmilla (2014-2016, online) as Digital Reimagining of Le Fanu's 'Carmilla'”, in Lorna Piatti-Farnell, editor, Gothic Afterlives: Reincarnations of Horror in Film and Popular Media, page 84:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Laura Hollis and Carmilla Karnstein from the web series Carmilla.


Curselax

Unfortunately, the most widespread confusing move is kinda useless against the Curselax.

2001 June 29, Talen, “Anti-Curselax Measure”, in alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (Usenet):

Snorlax (Kulgdor) [...] Earthquake Body Slam Curse Rest [...] Standard Curselax, he will do well in stadium and the game.

2002 July 18, Worry, “Re: [Rate my Team] This Team Sux v. 4.0”, in alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (Usenet):

This is my favorite pokemon of the new G/S pokes. I'm not sure about the item for this one, but this is mainly to deal with Curselaxes.

2011 May 15, FL1PPED Out, “[G/S] Team, Please Rate”, in alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (Usenet):

(fandom slang) A moveset of a Pokémon that includes Curse and Rest.


femslasher

Femslashers follow onscreen lesbian couples alongside their subtextual favorites and have often clamored for one of the latter characters to “come out” on television.

2013, Julie Levin Russo, “Textual orientation: Queer female fandom online”, in Cynthia Carter, Linda Steiner, Lisa McLaughlin, editors, The Routledge Companion to Media & Gender, page 457:

This erasure was criticized by both femslashers and nonwhite fans of other genres, who pointed out how these selections of what is considered noteworthy in fan texts perpetuate and reinscribe erasures and biases within fan communities (allofthefeelings 2015).

2018, Rukmini Pande, Squee from the Margins: Fandom and Race, page 165:

The way that femslashers are treated in this fandom is disgusting.

2019, anonymous, quoted in Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games, page 99

(fandom slang) A person who writes femslash and/or supports female/female ships.


Tibette

The assertion of Tibette as a couple could be read as a norm of the group, against which all other couples and pairings were judged.

2009 December, Becky Walker, “Imagining the future of lesbian community: The case of online lesbian communities and the issue of trans”, in Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, volume 23, number 6, page 933:

So what happens now? Well we obviously all wear out our DVDs and obsessively watch all the tributes on Youtube^([sic]) to Tibette and Sharman.

2010, Danielle Carter, “The L Word”, in Official Guide to London Pride 2010, page 55:

Bette is OMG! I love her ... I'm straight and somehow she manages to turn me on ... and Tibette is the ultimate great couple on The L Word! Go Tibette!

2015, anonymous, quoted in Sarah Cefai, "Love's Lesbian Refrain of Feeling: 'Bette and Tina' and the Subversion of Heterosexual Affect", Rhizomes: Cultural Studies In Emerging Knowledge, Issue 28 (2015)

(fandom slang) The relationship between the characters Tina Kennard and Bette Porter from the television series The L Word.


FemShep

Playing as FemShep hints that the game world's claims to gender equality may be overstated.

2017, Lynda Clark, “Commander Shepard”, in Jaime Banks, Robert Mejia, Aubrie Adams, editors, 100 Greatest Video Game Characters, page 44:

Interestingly, this seems the reason why FemShep is considered to be one of the most popular heroines in gaming history (Cobbett 2012: online), or even one of gaming's first true feminist and feminine protagonists (Hillier 2011).

2018, Silvia Pettinni, “Gender in Game Localization: The Case of Mass Effect 3's FemShep”, in Irene Ranzato, Serenella Zanotti, editors, Linguistic and Cultural Representation in Audiovisual Translation, unnumbered page:

A reveal trailer for Mass Effect Legendary Edition went live several hours ago, and fans have been watching it over and over. As has Jennifer Hale, the voice actor who played the female version of Commander Shepard across all three games, or "FemShep" as the character was dubbed.
Though her performance made FemShep more popular with hardcore fans, the marketing for the original games tended to focus on the default "BroShep", voiced by Mark Meer. Until now. This trailer shows a montage of scenes from across the series, and while BroShep is there—that's him macking on Miranda—there's more screen-time devoted to FemShep.

2021 February 2, Jody Macgregor, “FemShep finally gets her due in Mass Effect Legendary Edition trailer, Jennifer Hale extremely stoked”, in PC Gamer, archived from the original on 2021-02-03:

(fandom slang, video games) The female version of the Commander Shepard player character in the Mass Effect series.


shortfic

en-noun

shortfic (countable and uncountable, plural shortfics)

Shortfic is fun! Just right for the attention-span impaired.

1999 August 29, chee...@hotmail.com, “Re: NEW: Incredibly Short Gunmenfic (1/1)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Would it be qualified as badfic or shortfic, though?

1999 September 27, Jogonturan, “Re: Bad Romance Metaphors”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

This is a fic I started on after a discussion with Cathy about there not being much shortfic about at the moment.

2002 March 24, Clotho [username], “fic: Where have all the years gone?”, in alt.tv.er.creative (Usenet):

(fandom slang, uncountable) Such fan fiction collectively.


Scullyfic

Scullyfic (countable and uncountable, plural Scullyfics)

It's a Scullyfic in the sense that Mulder isn't there, but I think the whole concept works well.

2000 July 8, Verona, “NEW: "Conversations"”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

primarily a Scullyfic

2001 February 18, Medie, “New: Those That Remain”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

I honestly don't know what Mulder would have done when he found out, so I kept this as a pure Scullyfic.

2004 August 30, kayfu42, “xfc: Losing an Illusion 1/1”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(countable, X-Files fandom slang) A fanfic in which Dana Scully, of the The X-Files television series, is the protagonist.

There's also one running theme that's been worrying me: the idea that Scullytorture is especially bad because it makes a strong female look weak. In most good Scullyfic, I don't think that's the case.

1998 March 18, Stacy the Procrastinating, “Re: Muldertorture (was Re: DD/GA fanfic?)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Dasha would like to send special wreaths of holly to Shari and Jill for all the Scullyfic joy.

1999 December 12, Dasha K., “NEW: After Eight by Dasha K. and Plausible Deniability (3/3)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

I'm looking for a site I visited a while ago that had nothing but pre-xf scullyfic.

2001 December 18, Tzeltal, “Help?”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(uncountable, X-Files fandom slang) Such fan fiction collectively.


BroShep

The fact that advertising for Mass Effect 3 included “FemShep” as well as “BroShep” was significant for many fans.

2012, Jillian Scharr, "From 'Epic' to 'Epic Win': Play and performance as open-database storytelling in pre- and postliterate media", paper submitted to Vassar College, page 83

While BroShep displays obliviousness to issues of "reproductive rights and control over the female body," FemShep expresses solidarity with the female Krogan, Eve, indicating there are some galactic power struggles only FemShep can truly understand.

There is little deviation between the FemShep and BroShep scripts for the romance with Liara, which positions Commander Shepard as an experienced soldier (and lover) pursuing the naïve, reticent academic.

2020, Amanda Phillips, Gamer Trouble: Feminist Confrontations in Digital Culture, page 148:

(fandom slang, video games) The male version of the Commander Shepard player character in the Mass Effect series.


Treklit

Fran Hitchcock, in a fanzine debate with Paula Smith (Archives 7), pointed out that while Treklit can be seen as a training ground for writers with professional aspirations, most Trekwriters do it for the love of it .

1984, Folklore Women's Communication, Issues 32-34, unnumbered page

Even men who actively participate in the fanwriting find it difficult to overcome the prejudice against the form in the masculine community. Humor bridges the uncomfortable gap between wanting to write in the fanzines and having expectations that real men don't write Treklit.

1992, Camille Bacon-Smith, Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth, page 153:

A lot of people deserve a shout-out for this, starting with Marco Palmieri, who gave me my first Treklit assignment, On the Spot; […]

2011, David A. McIntee, “Acknowledgements”, in Indistinguishable from Magic, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) Written fiction based on the Star Trek franchise, including both licensed stories and fan fiction.

Richonne

Though Glenn and Maggie and "Richonne" are monogamous, heteronormative relationships: one man, one woman, and clear relationship roles, the roles are interchangeable and fluid dependent on the situation.

2017, Amanda Taylor, “Love and Marriage in the Time of The Walking Dead”, in Ashley Szanter, Jessica K. Richards, editors, Romancing the Zombie: Essays on the Undead as Significant "Other", page 87:

The Walking Deads Richone' was a big deal because it elevated Michonne from sidekick to romantic female lead.

2019, Sumiko Saulson, “From Sidekick to Romantic Lead: Rise of the Strong Black Woman”, in Valerie Estelle Frankel, editor, Fourth Wave Feminism in Science Fiction and Fantasy: Volume 2. Essays on Television Representations, 2013-2019, page 93:

Brown's longstanding advocacy for the “Richonne” ship is especially illustrative to consider.

2019, Suzanne Scott, Fake Geek Girls: Fandom, Gender, and the Convergence Culture Industry, page 137:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rick Grimes and Michonne from the television series The Walking Dead.


Klance

In one extreme case, a fan threatened to leak spoilers unless Klance (the pairing of Keith and Lance) was made canon.

2018 July, Shamus Kelley, “#LanceIsBi”, in Den of Geek, page 23:

Klance have continued to rank at the top of ship and show rankings throughout 2018. Despite only having aired for little over two years, there are over 22,000 Klance fics on AO3.

2018, Diana Koehm, "Revision as Resistance: Fanfiction as an Empowering Community for Female and Queer Fans", thesis submitted to the University of Connecticut, page 37

This condition was that "Klance," the ship was^([sic]) between the characters Lance and Keith be made canon.

2020 January 31, Bridget Cagle, “Fandom frenzy: Fan 'ships' should have boundaries”, in The Journal, Southport High School, Indianapolis, page 14:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Keith and Lance from the animated series Voltron: Legendary Defender.


McShep

I think she is the listmom for the McShep list.

2004 December 4, Lisa, “Re: New Photos from The Siege”, in alt.tv.stargate-atlantis (Usenet):

Feel free to wax lyrical about McShep to me.

2005 May 30, Ankh, “Re: Dear Magda”, in alt.tv.stargate-sg1 (Usenet):

[…] she likens the McShep pairing as conceived of by the community to a drug.

2009, Marla Bomersbach, "Actions That Embody Virtual Space", thesis submitted the University of Pittsburgh, page 48

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rodney McKay and John Sheppard from the television series Stargate Atlantis.


UAP

During World War II (and probably before), high flying pilots were reported to have observed unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP), often now called transient luminous events (TLE’s), particularly in the vicinity of thunderstorms.

2012 September 17, Don Lipman, “Red sprites, blue jets, and elves What are these mysterious, elusive phenomena?”, in The Washington Post:

“You know, there’s a new name,” Mrs. Clinton said in the March appearance. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon,” she said. “U.A.P. That’s the latest nomenclature.”

2016 May 10, Amy Chozick, “Hillary Clinton Gives U.F.O. Buffs Hope She Will Open the X-Files”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

The founders say they believe “there is sufficient credible evidence of UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] that proves exotic technologies exist that could revolutionize the human experience.”

2017 December 16, Bryan Bender, “The Pentagon’s Secret Search for UFOs”, in Politico Magazine, →ISSN:

This is an effort that I believe is rare and timely given current events, such as the apparent increase in UAP incidents through official military channels.

2019 October 23, M J Banias, “This Silicon Valley Startup Is Dedicated to Detecting UFOs Off the California Coast”, in Vice Magazine, →ISSN:

The spokesman at the time said UAP was preferred over UFO because of the stigma surrounding the latter term.

2020, Jordan Culver, Adrianna Rodriguez, “Pentagon declassifies 3 leaked US Navy UFO videos”, in USA Today:

Pentagon officially released three videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

2020, “To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science Acknowledges the Pentagon's Official Release of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Video Footage”, in Baker City Herald:

The US military is worried some of the UAPs spotted by military pilots in the past may represent technologies of strategic rivals unknown to US scientists.

2023 January 12, “US government logs more than 500 UFO reports with hundreds unexplained”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

TSF

TSF (canonical)
tī-esu-efu (romanization)

[tʲiːe̞sɨe̞ɸɯ̟]

From English transsexual + fiction or fantasy.

基本的にはＴＳＦ（トランスセクシャルフィクション）という、男が女になってなんやかや、という作品ばかりです。

1999, 月下 [Gekka], 月下の図書館 [Library Under the Moonlight], archived from the original on 1999-10-08:

Basically, it's all about TSF (Transsexual Fiction), where men turn into women and various things happen, in those works.

ＴＳＦ小説というジャンル同様、ＴＳＦ嗜好もマイナーと言えます。

2000 December 31, 月華 [Gekka], “第一回「私がＴＳＦ小説を書く理由」 [The Reason Why I Write TSF Novels: Part One]”, in TS-WEEK, archived from the original on 2001-04-29:

Like the TSF novel genre, TSF preferences could also be considered niche.

ＴＳＦとは、「非現実的な事象によって精神が帰属する肉体の性別が変化することで、肉体的性別と精神的性別との差異が突如うまれる物語」の類型を表す言葉として使われています。

2016 July 19, F_TSF, “TSFジャンルについての私見 [My Thoughts on the TSF Genre]”, in TSFのF [blog], archived from the original on 2017-02-10:

TSF stands for "Transsexual Fiction," a term used to describe stories where the gender of the body to which the mind belongs changes due to unreal events, creating a sudden difference between physical and mental gender.

the crux of a TSF story relies on the biological change of the body

2017 July 26, Chiaki Hirai, “An Analysis of Magical Sex-Change (TSF) Manga”, in Anime Feminist, archived from the original on 2017-07-28:

I have come to the conclusion that there is no meaningful difference between the terms. TG (Trans-Gender), TSF (Trans-Sexual Fantasy or Trans-Sexual Fiction), Gender Bender, Gender Swap, or any related terminology, are all synonyms for the same concept.

2022 May 25, Natalie Neumann, “Natalie Rambles About TSF”, in Natalie.TF, archived from the original on 2022-12-01:

fiction with central themes of genderswapping, genderbending, or sex change


noromodom

However, one of the many possible grounds for NoRomoDom is that Mulder is unworthy of Scully.

1997 December 31, Andrew In Amherst, “Re: Who is really the star??”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I'd also have to say that I'm more adamant about my noromodom than I am about my spoilercelibacy--I am tempted by spoilers (although I resist), but the ship tempts me not at all.

2000 March 15, hot toddy, “Re: Shippers, noromos, spoilerwhores, and spoilervirgins”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Some noromos do want Mulder (or Scully) for themselves, but that does not seem to be related to their reasons for noromodom.

2000 July 12, Mary Aileen Buss, “Re: What Bugged You About The X-Files”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) The state or quality of being a noromo.


noromoish

Oh yes, I am a shipper, although I've had some very Noromo-ish thoughts lately.

1998 June 6, Johanna K Knuutinen, “Re: shipper/non-shipper demographics?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Seeing as how 'all things' was one of my first forays into feeling noromoish, I can't quite agree with you on that part of the equation.

2001 April 13, Molly, “Re: "I don't know where I fit in..."”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

We're glad you're back! Well, at least I am. I have someone to share my noromoish pain. ;)

2001 April 14, C. Morgan, “Re: "I don't know where I fit in..."”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Related to, characteristic of, or espousing noromoness.


semi-shipper

I'd say you're probably a semi-shipper, like me. The idea idea of a romantic relationship is exciting, but...the X-Files is just as important.

1997 February 6, Denise A. Agnew, “Re: shippers, part 2”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I'm a semi-shipper as I think that a kiss is the farthest they should go. (But it should at least be a passionate kiss!!!)

1997 August 11, Bob Prole, “Re: X-Files Romance”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

As a "semi-shipper" from early on, I wasn't too fond of "3" which IMO apparently existed merely to give DD some romantic screen time.)

1998 June 26, Lib...@my-dejanews.com, “Re: Am I dreaming? Did they broadcast "HOME" tonight on FX?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(fandom slang) A person who partially supports a ship.


shippy

en-adj

shippy (comparative shippier, superlative shippiest)

shippier (comparative)
shippiest (superlative)

Anyway, the shippy moment comes when Scully (who's noticeably pregnant) and Mulder are talking on the park bench.

1997 November 27, Hieu G. Nguyen, “Shippiest moments on XF”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

One thing that can be inferred is that "Ghosts", a very shippy episode, apparently didn't scare (pun intended) any viewers away.

1999 January 7, storml...@hotmail.com, “Re: X-Files Ratings For Terms of Endearment”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

i agree. even if it's just a couple of moments of bliss, my shippy heart will be content.

2001 April 12, clarkal, “Re: The pregnancy conversation”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(fandom slang) Related to, characteristic of, or supporting a romantic relationship (ship) between characters.


anti-shipper

From anti- + shipper (“one who supports a romantic or sexual relationship between characters”).

prefix

MSR ahead! anti-shippers, this ain't your cuppa tea! Plenty of UST!

1997 March 11, Ann Vermillion, “"Forbidden Fruit" by Anne Vermillion, re: Exit to Eden challenge”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

These "shippers," Internet fan-slang for fans who want central characters to have a relationship ("shippers" is short for "relationshippers"), carried on fan-site wars with the "anti-shippers," fans who thought Daria had more integrity as a single girl.

2003, Carol Stabile, Prime Time Animation: Television Animation and American Culture, page 189:

However, present within our data were examples of when Bughead shippers would hijack the #Antibughead tag, antagonizing anti-shippers and asserting dominance within the Riverdale fandom on Tumblr.

2021, Emily Burkhardt, Verity Trott, Whitney Monaghan, “'#Bughead Is Endgame': Civic Meaning-Making inRiverdale Anti-Fandom andShipping Practices on Tumblr”, in Television & New Media:

(fandom slang) One who opposes a specific ship or shipping in general.

Yourshipisfine articulates the position many Jessica/Kilgrave shipper take when arguing with anti-shippers over the problematic nature of shipping Jessica and Kilgrave together: “yeah, we know it’s fucked up and wrong, that’s one of the main reasons why we ship it” when arguing with anti-shippers over the problematic nature of shipping Jessica and Kilgrave together.

2016, Elizabeth Orson, "Exploring Abusive Shipping In The Jessica Jones Fandom", Focus Media Journal, Volume 37 (2016-2017), page 76

Furthermore, antis are angry at the pedophilic undertones in a relationship between Kylo and Rey and the large about of abuse and rape/non-con based fics in the ship. This makes tumblr and the internet at large a tumultuous place for any Reylo shipper. Yet, Jessika has found her niche on the website and rarely, if ever, deals with anti-shippers.

2019, Lauren Rouse, "The fan fiction reading guide: the use of multimedia and comments as close reading tools", thesis submitted to DePaul University, page 96

Anti-shippers tend to have the opinion that problematic art on the internet will be consumed by people too young to have the critical thinking skills to distinguish what is okay in real life versus in fiction, so it is best either not created at all or created in private.

2021, Victor Larsen, "'It Makes Me, A Minor, Uncomfortable': Media and Morality In Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom", thesis submitted to Ghent University, page 43

(fandom slang) One who objects to ships or shipping deemed offensive, e.g. due to incest, age differences, abusive elements, or power gaps (treating the other partner badly because they have less authority).


shippiness

My first thought as a shipper, and even the list admin of the XF Romantics mailing list which is dedicated to shippers, is to crow about the "shippiness" in this episode.

1997 February 11, KSJ, “Momento Spoilers”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I don't believe "shippiness" either helps or hurts the X-Files ratings.

1999 March 10, Michael P. Walsh, “Re: Arcadia ratings”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

One could theorize that shippiness can 'ruin' an episode because it takes some people's focus away from the main story even if it doesn't alter the main story.

2000 December 20, Jane, “Re: Doggoneit Be Gone”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The state or quality of being shippy.

2008, Gemma Corin, "From 'Ambiguously Gay Duos' To Homosexual Superheroes: The Implications For Media Fandom Practices", thesis submitted to the University of Waikato, page 53

The first, a lengthy Kirk/Spock pre-slash story “The Immovable Object,” appeared in the zine The Other Side of Paradise, no. 2.

2012, Catherine Coker, “The Angry! Textual! Poacher! Is Angry!: Fan Works As Political Statements”, in Katherine Larsen, editor, Fan Culture: Theory/Practice, page 95:

Some pre-slash fan fiction does not develop into slash at all; other stories make it clear that slash may be a possible development in the future but they do not elaborate on it; yet other stories, or better series of stories, include pre-slash chapters or pre-slash stories (which function as one-shot stories and work on their own), but the following stories in the series are already slash.

2014, Lucie Cupalová, "Slash Factor: Characteristics and Varieties of Slash Fan Fiction", thesis submitted to Charles University, page 38

(fandom slang) A subgenre of slash fiction in which a homosexual relationship between two characters has not yet developed or is only implied.


fanservis

Compound of fan + servis, from English fanservice, from Japanese ファンサービス (fansābisu), from English fan + service.

(chiefly ACG) The inclusion in a work of fiction of material, especially of a racy or sexual nature, which may or may not have relevance to the storyline and is designed merely to excite the viewer.

(idol fandom) Special interactions from idols to their fans.


non-shipper

The non-shippers are those fans who are opposed to Ham and Mac having a relationship.

1999 June, Darcy Rice, “An Advocate of Perfection”, in Orange Coast Magazine, page 38:

In these terms, Ten/Rose has a highly privileged position among Doctor Who pairings, and it seems that this position exactly engenders a powerful resistance to it among non-shippers.

2013, Leora Hadas, “Resisting the romance: ‘Shipping’ and the discourse of genre uniqueness in Doctor Who fandom”, in European Journal of Cultural Studies, volume 16, number 3, page 337:

Given that the final season of The West Wing itself officially sanctioned the relationship, non-shippers could no longer rely upon the ambiguity of producers' statements as 'evidence' to verify that the romance existed only in the minds of shippers.

2015, Rebecca Williams, Post-Object Fandom: Television, Identity and Self-narrative, page 108:

(fandom slang) One who does not create any ships or does not support a particular ship.


Domward

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

Genres were often designated by a version of Edward's name: Tattward (more than one tattoo artist fic); Artward (lots of artists); Domward (Fifty Shades was hardly the first); Subward (there were a few); […]

2013, “The Twilight Fandom”, in Anne Jamison, editor, Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World, page 181:

The guidelines for this challenge centre on the gendered allocations of roles in sexual contexts: 'we want to see women wield power between the sheets: we've seen enough Domward and Domsper […]

2016, Mariah Larsson, Ann Steiner, Interdisciplinary Approaches to Twilight: Studies in Fiction, Media and a Contemporary Cultural Experience, unnumbered page:

While Leonard has been frequently (and fairly) criticized for her representation of BDSM in Fifty Shades, her inspiration was not merely the Twilight books and films but also the oeuvre of Twilight fanfiction itself, by then a site of cultural production in its own right within which “'Domward” (or a dominating Edward) was in style (Anne Jamison 2013, 184).

2016, Leslie Paris, “Fifty shades of fandom: the intergenerational permeability of Twilight fan culture”, in Feminist Media Studies, volume 16, number 4, page 687:

(Twilight fandom slang) Edward Cullen written as the dom in a BDSM relationship in Twilight fan fiction.


metafic

en-noun

metafic (countable and uncountable, plural metafics)

In metafics, Janeites make hypotheses on the sources of inspiration for the novels, wonder how the world would have been without Jane, and imagine a TV talk show where Austen herself interviews her characters.

2008, Roberta Grandi, “Web Side Stories: Janeites, Fanfictions, And Never Ending Romances”, in Ingrid Hotz-Davies, Anton Kirchhofer, Sirpa Leppänen, editors, Internet Fictions, page 35:

A few days later, the fan who sparked this discussion added her own voice to the debate with a metafic (that is, a fic about fandom) called 'The Girl Who Did Not Know Angst.'

2014, Veerle Van Steenhuyse, “Oh, the Angst! Emotional Immersion in Jane Austen Fan Fiction”, in Tawnya Ravy, Eric Forcier, editors, Words, Worlds, Narratives: Transmedia and Immersion:

This fic is considered a metafic, a fic about fanfiction and fandom, and usually metafic is satirical like this one.

2016, Layanne Malluhi, "Fanfiction and the Transgression of Fandom Communities", thesis submitted to Georgetown University, unnumbered page

(countable, fandom slang) A fanfic with metafictional elements, focusing on fan fiction, fandom, or creators.

The difference between this kind of "metafic" and objectionable "actor-fic" is that the metafic is still concentrated on the characters and the fictional world, with just a bit of the actors/real world (or other characters/other ficworld) stirred in for added interest, and usually humor. Objectionable "actor-fic" is fiction about the actors in the real world.

2000 May 2, lee burwasser, “Re: HAD question - "actor-fic"”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Depends. The blatantly obvious Mary-Sue-as-Metafic/Parody can be great, or it can be tiresome.

2002 April 11, Becky C., “Re: A question about Mary Sue stories...”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative (Usenet):

User umqra1895 comments that the author “poke[d] fun and [paid] homage to the wide fanfic universe” with this fic, which is essentially what metafic does.

(uncountable, fandom slang) Such fan fiction collectively.

Bokononism

Coined by American writer Kurt Vonnegut in his novel Cat's Cradle in 1963. Named after the religion's alleged founder, Bokonon + -ism.

[>We show singles exactly how to find their True Soulmate! And we show Couples how to determine if they have found their True Soulmate!]
How tough can it be to know once you've found the right one? As long as you're not somewhere that has made Bokononism illegal, couldn't you just put your feet together?

1997 March 13, the tree by the river, “Re: Still looking for your Soulmate? We can help!”, in soc.singles (Usenet):

Because there isn't any, and I can't think of any possible reason that there need be any. Thus I have assumed that there is no god. The difference is that since there *can be* no evidence of it, I must admit that I can not really know the answer. In my case, that is grounds for agnosticism (or Bokononism really). In the case of many others, faith takes over.

2000 May 8, m. brazeau, “Re: help me refute a theist”, in sci.skeptic (Usenet):

Whatever wackadoodle philosophy you might be embracing today – frutarianism or Bokononism – is cool as long as it doesn’t hurt those around you, right? ¶ Refusing to immunize puts the rest of us at risk. And unless there is sound science and the guidance of a good doctor, it’s a pretty bogus way to hedge a bet in that game of parenting roulette.

2015 January 26, Petula Dvorak, “Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are putting others at risk”, in The Washington Post:

(fiction, religion) In Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle, a religion secretly practiced by the people of San Lorenzo, the supreme religious act of which consists of any two worshippers rubbing the bare soles of their feet together to inspire spiritual connection.


Hercverse

Joxer, Xena, Gabrielle etc. were not at all in ancient mythology. If the Hercverse was loyal to the original Grecian myth, then they wouldn't be around.

1998 September 22, Andy00, “Re: Why I don't like Joxer.”, in alt.tv.xena (Usenet):

But in the middle of an ep that was otherwise functioning normally in the Hercverse version of ancient Greece, it just seemed too wierd...^([sic]) feeble lutes turning into electric guitars... and it wasn't even done consistently with Herc's character... and the music was bad... and it wasn't really funny...

1999 February 13, Xorys, “Maunderings re <>”, in alt.tv.xena (Usenet):

No, it's not necessarily a plot hole. The show's history doesn't have to exactly match the show's 20th century background. (For example, Strife is still around in the 20th c. Hercverse, even though he died in the show.)

2000 October 12, Daryle Walker, “Re: Spoilers: Coming Home”, in alt.tv.xena (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The fictional universe depicted in the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-offs (including Xena: Warrior Princess).

Larry Stylinson

Blend of Louis Tomlinson + Harry Styles.

In the latter, I analyze the distinctions between the media’s response to Larry Stylinson shippers and fan responses, drawing on Matt Hills’s notion of inter-fandom antagonism.

2016, Bethan Jones, “'I Will Throw You off Your Ship and You Will Drown and Die': Death Threats, Intra-Fandom Hate, and the Performance of Fangirling”, in Lucy Bennett, Paul Booth, editors, Seeing Fans: Representations of Fandom in Media and Popular Culture, page 54:

The sheer volume of Larry Stylinson erotica available online is astonishing.

2018, Kate Leaver, The Friendship Cure: Reconnecting in the Modern World, unnumbered page:

Beyond fanart and fanfiction, the Larry Stylinson "division" of the fandom became a safe space for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bissexual, transgender, and queer) fans […]

2018, Paola Brembilla, “Transmedia Music: The Values of Music as a Transmedia Asset”, in Matthew Freeman, Renira Rampazzo Gambarato, editors, The Routledge Companion to Transmedia Studies, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The real-person fiction ship of Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles of the band One Direction.
