.:Fanfiction Glossary:.

Hello, poppets! Here's a short, quick list of some fanfiction terms you'll see on my page and in my gallery, and their definitions! Well, the way I use them, at least ^-^ Hopefully it helps, if you need it~

Reader-Inserts or xReaders
(y/n) = Your name
(y/ln) = Your last name
(y/ec) = Your eye color
(y/hc) = Your hair color
(y/hl) = Your hair length
(y/a) = Your age
(y/h) = Your height
(y/bd) = Your birthday

General Fanfics
One-Shot = A simple, one-page fanfic with no chapters
Fluff = Something cute and innocent, usually a one-shot
Smut/Lemon = NSFW fanfiction; dirty fanfiction
Reader-Insert or xReader = A fanfic that involves the reader (Markiplier x Reader, Draco Malfoy x Reader, etc.)
Songfic = A fanfiction that's set to the lyrics of a song, lyrics that usually match the plot somehow
Angst = Very dramatic, sometimes even dark. Pretty much the opposite of fluff. Can be triggery
Soft-Angst = Mild forms of angst, dealing with only partially dramatic issues

Feel free to tell me if there's a term you've heard that isn't defined on this list! If I know it, or use it, I'll update this list
