fanfiction.net

A website; a multi-multi-fandom archive for fanfic of all fandoms, pairings, ratings*, and genres. Fiction quality ranges from poor to excellent, by authors of all levels of experience and talent. Fanfiction.net used to house original fiction as well, before spawning FictionPress, where all previously submitted original fic is now stored.

* FanFiction.net caused a controversy a while back after banning all fanfic rated above R (NC-17). A number of fans boycotted the site after losing their fiction, and several others simply began assigning an R rating to graphic fic.
"Sure, I'm archived at fanfiction.net, under the name 'She Staggers Onward, Rejoicing.'"

Fancid

Fanwork + Rancid = Fancid

Describes a piece of fan-made work (usually fanfiction or fanart) that turns the original TV / Movie / Book series into something shitty (or shittier, depending on the series).

A fucked-up rendition of the original series, but is usually seen as a success in the creator's eyes.

Usually, but not always, includes (a) Mary-sue(s) and / or (a) crack pairing(s).
Fanart and fanfiction created for humor purposes is usually fancid, but that's what makes them funny in the first place.

Fanfic Fodder

1. n. A character, group of characters, scene, or plot that is liable to be featured in fanfiction, usually due to an abundance or overuse of moé or cliché traits possessed by the subject(s) in question.

2. n. As in 1, but with the subject(s) having already been featured in fanficton, esp. when the frequency of these features is high.

The term originates from "cannon fodder", a play on the tendency of moé and cliché characters, scenes, and plots to be used in large, unsparing quantities in fanfiction.
1. "That Becca girl is quiet, intelligent, nerdy, and adorable; she's total fanfic fodder."

2. "I must have seen over nine thousand fanfics about Vincent Valentine on just one site! He's fanfic fodder!"

"Yeah, but Vega is hotter fodder than Vincent could ever be."
