Fanfiction Terminology's definitions
A fanfiction tag equivalent to “what you see is what you get” for dark, sometimes explicit content. It means that whatever you see in the tags, whether that be cannibalism or torture, is what you’re going to read.
Person A: “I read this fic tagged with Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, thinking it was gonna be gore, but it was so much grosser!”
Person B: “yeah, it’s a real pet peeve when authors tag that with no context.”
Person B: “yeah, it’s a real pet peeve when authors tag that with no context.”

Get the Benjamin mug.Canon-Typical Violence is a tag on the fanfiction site Archive of our Own (often shortened to AO3). It means that all violence shown will have beleivable reasons. For instance, a fanfic that takes place in medieval times would be considered canon-typical if it used weapons from that time—swords and bows instead of guns and grenades.
Canon-Typical Violence is an important tag for me because I want to feel immersed in the world I’m reading about.
