It's the small press publishing term for FanFiction.net circles who emerge from here; some publishers had decided to get on the site and feature their own takes on fandom. One of the writers in the circuit was published for less than year under the encouragement of his wife, a small publisher in Seattle who also published the controversial writer who emerged on Quakes And Storms: A Natural Disaster Anthology. One of the writers who also been published emerged after seeing The Statue as Fanlore.org followed her some as she brought one of the outings to AuthorsDen.com. Fandom_Wank it's safe to say were not pleased when they found out fanwriters were getting published in the small press along side original fiction writers from out of the box years before mommy porn emerged.
You'd be surprised in the mid-2000s who emerged from here, as the indie publishing circles would have a weird look from where it's known as The Fan Circuit . An Archive Of Our Own points out some of them. As what they failed to realize that some of them were published on the semi-professional circles since 2002 as a few appeared in the e-pages of Twilight Times. The one who is known as Joni designed the logo for the historic e-zine from the 1990s. Her print debut in the short form appeared on a Pensacola based anthology called "Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror." Where she did the final edits to the story that's an alternate to the short story that the synopsis was for in the anthology known as "House of Spiders." Fanlore.org followed her Fan Circuit ties as she introduced a piece to AuthorsDen.com in the 2002 era as her original fiction output in the era was more high fantasy. Her short story output was Gothic Horror as she was the other Gothic Horror delegate in Reality Check.

The Ethereal Gazette was noted for it's STRICT house rules rivaling the mentality of the Duggar household but aspects that differ as he defined to another who was doing anthologies, another editor knew the rules he coined -- other publishing imprints know this as Prison City Rules. No erotic content but no holds barred. Rule out sexual content but time the swearing, go for subject matter that's ideologically sensitive and able to address social issues when pulling this off. The Issue Five roster embodied the Prison City Rules approach.

The female version of slumlord -- the see the reference up male and female Lordship in the UK and Landlord who makes a profit off not fixing the apartment. Usually a Karen who is xenophobic and wouldn't understand who lives paycheck-to-paycheck. Often MO of them is a bit of a golddigger too.
That Slum-Dutchess got educated from a Diploma Mill and tapped a vanity press to make herself seem legit but when noticed she had been raised in a Sundown Town and chased out of Joliet.

It's the nickname of An Author's Blog during the 2012-2014 era; it's the blog of the publisher of The Ethereal Gazette that does in depth investigative journalism that goes further than some of the major news sources. The noted blog entries "King James Only Examined," "Faustian Bargain," "I Don't Understand (This World)" and "Lying Bastards All Around," then noted for coining Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair as he was scammed by the serial plagiarist in the HWA and SFWA in 2007 then finding out about it in 2010 around Halloween. Noted for being home on WordPress.com.
The noted blog of the writer of An Eye In Shadows that paired with Tumblr been prone to engage in Twitter and LiveJournal gangups as seen them in the comments on his own blog, the re-emergence of the blog became noted as the light blue blog that took aim at Anderson Cooper when he was feuding with Smashing Pumpkins lead singer and fellow Glendale Heights notable. Candid life meets in depth reporting as he's often telling the truth at the expense of the rest of the factions of the genre industry busting their corrupt politics. Noted in 2007-2008 to coin Piss Blogger when addressing blogtrolls on YouTube as he saw Something Awful lifting his senior picture as the joke "Hogwarts School of Tabloid and Investigative Journalists" was born from it. He uses documentaries found on youtube to give his investigative entries more venom -- "King James Only Examined" and "Scaring People For Al Time" are the two that caught the most wind for being extremely investigative. His introduction to Buzzfeed was an expose of a former Cradle of Filth backing vocalist suggesting she needed to educate herself further before saying something out of ignorance.

A FanFiction.net or Archive of our Own based full length pseudo-novel with the casual copyright infringement taken to epic levels; i.e. getting celebrated for lifting video game properties, established films with current copyright laws still in effect, lifting characters from literary sources not in Public Domain, or from other media properties. i.e. 100,000 and 200,000 word counts of copyright infringement that would leave Brian Lumley beyond torqued when he sees it.
I guess those regulars producing "bricks" never read about the debacle Stephen Glass invoked or Another Hope as this one torqued Lucasfilm and George Lucas himself. Getting their backs patted over it ala the regulars on Fandom_Wank when they got busted by the writer behind An Eye In Shadows and publisher of The Ethereal Gazette.

The name of the bull shark in Lake Michigan named for the story by H. P. Lovecraft, an urban legend with teeth going back before the dinosaurs. Some cases being related of a Bull Shark also found in Lake Erie too, okay the short story "Yest Ye Become One" becomes even more frightening of other cases of this -- WGN in Chicago did a blog entry asking the question. The light blue blog reblogged this making smart ass remarks about how Chicago managed to gain a new pet. Takes what Sharknado and implies it was leftover from that.
By the way; you may not want to put domestic abusers or child sex offenders in a boat with a hole drilled in it within the water's of Lake Michigan. You may never know when an urban legend with Flesh and Teeth comes up doing a bite and run, did we mention we gave him a name. His name is Dagon.

I am going to discuss the second definition; it's origins was a classmate in Glenbard East in 1994 prior to graduating as it was in Judo she made the crack. It's a joke referring to some of the colleges in Chicagoland as in the 1990s there was Wheaton College, College of DuPage, Elmhurst College (quite a few are accredited while they have a few where RationalWiki would coin as Fundie School. Two of the alumni from Northwest Baptist Theological Seminary are responsible for major Investigative publication of the Evangelical sect known as Christianity Today and the other was responsible for one of the Illinois translations known as The Living Bible. ) Some of the Gazette were from the City College system as this was where WYCC originated. Young Earth Independent Baptist schools have the name crank school tagged to them because of Uneducated Huckster and Fucking Cartoon promoting diploma mills. Hence the term in DuPage County known as UCLA -- aka University Closest to Lombard Area.
