DPP: Fandom Lexicon
Greetings and salutations, 'shipper nation! This is Amy, known on your internets as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ninjamonkey73, and I'm driving the DPP bus this week. Sit back and enjoy the ride...
After yesterday's psychology discussion, today's is complete crack. There are a lot of insider terms we all throw around here in the fandom. Words of obvious and not-so-obvious origin that might be confusing to the n00bs (newbies - I was one a few months ago), so let's talk about the terms and definitions of what makes a fandom unique.
There are a few categories I can think of that these sorts of things might fall under. Show related, fanfiction related (can include non-BSG-specific terms), internet-speak, etc.
( Everything I needed to know, BSG fans taught me (NSFW gif below cut) )
