: A to Z
Hello! I'm Daydreamer1412! Thanks for clicking on my newest installment: : A to Z (Anime/Manga edition)This Author and Reader's Guide, I will be covering terms in that may seems unfamiliar to new readers or authors, and give example, or warnings of them. I may mention a real literary term, and if I deem it out of the way, I'll put up a definition. I would love to be informed if I'm off on something, so feel free to express it in a review. Note- I will not be covering flames for a while, so for now you can flame that 3.
This is kind of a sham, because I will not be going A-Z in alphabetical order, but I will try to hit as many as I can. And I officially screw the dictionary format- I'll go with whatever makes sense. It won't go in any real order; just whatever piece of lingo pops into my head. I'll try to leave the more complex ones that have other terms in them for later. Or not. Whatever I have and looks good.
Please leave any requests, suggestions, or just feedback in a review. I don't have a set number of reviews I need to have to continue, but it's nice to know that at least SOMEONE cares.
And now I present to you the First installment of D.A.Z. Heh heh. Funny anagrams. ^.^
Plot Bunny
AKA: Common: Plunnie. Uncommon: Plunny.
Plural- Plot Bunnies AKA Plunnies
Definition: A small idea, often triggered by some sort of inspiration; usually make short fics that stand alone.
(Mutate –ing, -ed, Evolve-ing,-ed) Plunnies: A plunnie that is taken a bit more seriously and is smoothed around the edges. Inspires or used another scene, one-shot or chapter.
Oddly enough some don't even have a plot and are as small as 100 words. Genres are wide- anywhere from romance to angst to humor to crack. It is a little more powerful than your average idea or thought. Unlike a normal idea, plunnies are notorious for popping into your head like a carrot high bunny at the most incontinent times. Like when you are *technically* supposed to be studying for a final, doing homework, or working on another much larger multi-chapter fic.
Unless they are relived in some way (scene in a larger story, one-shot, livejournal challenge, etc.) it will KEEP coming back. Usually the strongest of authors are able to resist. Often times reader blame the bunnies "attacked" them and forced them to write them instead of updating chapter 13 in their 100 review story.
Note: Some authors prefer to blame specific parts of their mind that they name for the plunnie, have a conversation with them and then get attacked begin attacking them. Mine is named Shay switches between a human form or a gray and black bunny. She often nibbles on my ear in the middle of the night to get me to write things. Bossy jerk. *ahem*
So when the plunnies attack, to be patient with your readers. 9 times out of 10 this may help them with writers block or relax, giving you an even better story. Plus, if they're good, you get a little scene out of it. It's a win-win situation!
Until next time!
LoL (Lots of Love)
