That makes sense. It's just not a description I'd seen used until bandom, other fandoms may use it too.

Someone really needs to give me a fandom specific fannish terms dictionary.

Well, that description is mine, a sort of pulled together list of stuff I see all the time. But it's surprising how often insane stuff like that comes along.

I've seen some crazy requests, really specific ones too. Which always makes me wonder if they really expect someone to know a story like that, or are just fishing and hope something thinks that's the best idea ever OMG! I must write that.

Sadly the paring thing happens all the time though.
