What are the ratings used on the site?
For the most part, we use the ratings system standard to US television. We don't host stories intended for children, so we do not use youth-oriented ratings. We instead use the G (for General Audiences) rating to indicate stories that contain no violence, language or adult content.
What are the story classifications?
Stories are classified by:
Categories
- J/7: Stories focused on the Kathryn Janeway/Seven of Nine pairing from Star Trek: Voyager and related writings.
- Mirandy: Stories focused on the Miranda Priestly/Andrea Sachs pairing from The Devil Wears Prada and related writings.
Genres
- Action/Adventure: A story filled with physical conflict, with focus on describing the action, particularly in battle or competition. Characters go on a bold and uncertain quest, leaving behind the safety and comforts of home.
- Alt: A story that is an alternative version of a specific section of canon. Often a "what-if" experiment in which the author explores what might have happened if a certain canon episode had turned out differently.
- Alternate Universe: (Also AU) A story that makes major changes to the canonical storyline or premise, such as killing off a major character, changing characters' motives or alliances, annulling major events or radically changing the setting.
- Angst: Generally focused on a character's sense of loss, sorrow, anger, betrayal or other negative fixation.
- Comedy: Any light-hearted story played for laughs, generally devoid of drama or angst.
- Crossover: Characters from one story, tv show or movie exist in (or are transported to) the setting of another one, or more commonly, characters from two or more of these separate universes interact.
- Dark: Refers to plots which introduce elements such as death, violence, betrayal or loss into series which generally do not contain these elements.
- Drabble: In its strictest sense, an exactly 100-word long piece of fanfic. In frequent practice, any very, very short ficlet.
- Drama: Usually focused on conflict between characters to evoke an emotional reaction in the reader.
- Fantasy: Worlds of strange creatures and people capable of using magic, usually involving a setting that is either similar to medieval Europe or that bears no similarity to any time period on Earth.
- Horror: Frightening and/or gory, often employing an enemy who commits inhuman acts of violence and sadism.
- Hurt/Comfort: A plot framework in which one character in a particular pairing experiences pain (usually emotional) and the other character offers comfort. May qualify as darkfic depending on the origin and amount of focus on the "hurt" aspect of the story.
- Mystery: Characters and the reader work to figure out why and how something happened.
- PWP: Stands for "Plot? What Plot?" Generally a short sex romp unsullied by plot or unnecessary characters.
- Romance: Focuses primarily on the ups and downs of a romantic relationship.
- Uber: A kind of alternative universe story in which characters or events are portrayed close to original canon but in a different time period, often featuring the ancestors, descendants or reincarnations of canon characters. The term originated in Xena: Warrior Princess fandom.
