O hayo! Which translates to, "hello" in Japanese, visitors! Ever wondered what the words meant? Here's a useful guide by the KBML crew made just for you! We just wanted to prove to you that we weren't insane... The stuff we're saying aren't jibberish, but Japanese terms....

Terms in Fanfiction:
fanfiction - sometimes called 'fanfics', or simply 'fics'. These are stories written by fans. Usually classified according to content:
Angst - these are the sad stories. Fics that don't
have a happy ending, dark, violent or tragic fall under this
category.
Hentai - R 18 fics. It has very graphic
description on sex.
Lemon - lemon fics also feature sex scenes, and
considered R 18. However, lemon fics are not as graphic as hentai ones.
Lime - these are fics that have mild sex scenes or
none at all. A bit more intense than the regular romance fics, but it
really doesn't go as far as sex itself.
PWP -stands for
"Plot? What Plot?" Fics with no plot at all. *I dunno if we have this in the KB, I just saw this on other
archives

Feeling" *Is that with an s? Uh, honestly, I still don't know whar WAFF
