Fan Fiction warnings:Yea you know you see all these warnings and labels on fan fiction. So what do they all mean? Here's a handy little guide so you know what your reading! Yaoi - Male/male relationships that refer to a more sexual relationship. Yuri - Female/female relationships that refer to a more sexual relationship. Shounen Ai - Male/male relationship that refers to love aspect of the relationship. I.E. Its gets kinda mushy :) Lemon - Sex. Sexual acts are clearly described and enacted as part of the story. (or lack there of, teehee) Lime - Hints at sex. Ok they don't give you any of the details but you definitely know they did it. ;) Pure cruelity. Angst/Anguish - Usually means the character's relationships are put to the test in some way. Emotionally tortured. Alot of times these fics will make you want to cry. :( But there is usually a happy ending. PWP - Stands for 'Plot? What plot?' Meaning they didn't bother to work up much plot this story is all about sex and relationships. Usually accompanied by Lemon warnings. Deathfic - Exactly how it sounds; altho be forewarned these arent always as bad as they seem since deathfics sometimes involve reincarnation. But sadly not always. :( |
