Understanding Fanfiction Warnings


It has come to my attention that some people may not understand the warnings on the fanfiction stories. Here is a brief guide to understanding them. I think you will find these useful when navigating my fanfiction page, or any other fanfiction sites on the web!

Language/Cursing: This should be obvious. If it just says one of these two words, you can expect some bad language. If it says Mild (or in the case of my stories: VERY mild) you can expect a bad word thrown in every now and then (I think my stories may have about three or four bad words in all of 26 chapters).

Mature Themes: This could include suicide, murder, self mutilation, eating disorders, rape, abuse, or anything else that is a serious or controversial topic.

Gore: Bloody (or as my local video store owner calls it: Broody) scenes.

Lime: This contains hints of sexual activity. It's usually describing characters doing something sexual without any major details. It often ends before the actions starts and begins again the next morning, or gets around the details in some other way.

Lemon: This graphically desribes sexual situations.

Yaoi: This won't be found on my site, but will more than likely be ran into in most other fanfic sites. This is sexual sitations (or hints of a sexual relationship) between two males.

Yuri: Again, this will not be found on my site. This is sexual sitations (or hints of a sexual relationship) between two females.

Shounen Ai: Litterally translated to mean "boy love", it means a relationship (not necessarily sexual, but definately a homosexual one) between two males.

Shoujo Ai: Litterally translated to mean "girl love", it means a relationship (not necessarily sexual, but definately a homosexual one) between two females.

Anyone know of more warnings that should go here? Please contact me! Disagree with any of the definitions? Tell me about it!
