More excerpts from the book of shipping! With the Keepers crew reacting!
"Fanfiction terms:
AU- Alternate universe. A setting of a fanfiction that differs from canon in some major way. EX: Human AU (A fanfiction for a fantasy fandom that makes characters live in an ordinary human world), Soulmate AU (See page ###), or Modern AU (A fanfiction for a novel/series which takes place in the past/future and puts in in modern times.)"
Wylie: *Raises hand* Can we live in an AU where you don't exist?
Me: Shut up Wylie. And, no.
"OC: A fanfiction character created by the author, that does not canonically appear in the novel/series."
Wylie: *Raises hand* Can we have an OC come and kill you?
Me: NO!
Nameless OC: *Right behind me holding a knife* Really? Darn.
Me: Oh, and Wylie, stop interrupting the book of shipping just to insult me. We want intelligent comments on these.
Tam: Then why are you here?
Keefe: Ooooooooooohhhh, BURRRRRNNNNNNNNNN!
Me: I thought you liked me!
Keefe: That was still a roast.
Me: Fine. Keefe, your hair is ug- No! No, I can't say it! It's impossible!
Keefe: *Hair flip* Of course. Bangs Boy's, on the other hand, is really ugl- ug- ug- why isn't it working!? The bangs-
Linh: Don't you mean the ****Bangs****?
Keefe: Oh yeah. The ****Bangs**** are so ug-u-unbelievably gorgeous! Wait, what? No! A. Fan, stop using your author powers on me!
Me: *Holding notepad and pen (Yes I'm aware that this is a chromebook but notepad/pen is more iconic for an author)* Kam Kam Kammy Kam Kam!
Sophie: But KEEPHIE!
Biana: But BAM!
Me: Sophiana! Sophiana! Sophiana!
Marella: But aren't you-
Me: MULTISHIPPIIIIIIIIIIING!
Sophie: Anyway, we're pretty off-topic, let's get back to the book.
"Canon: Events that actually take place in the fandom as written by the original author, not part of a fanfiction.
Headcannon/Headcanon: No one can agree on a spelling. An idea created by a fan that did not canonically happen.
Crossover: A fanfiction combining the characters and/or settings of two fandoms.
Feels: Intense fandom-triggered emotions.
POV: Point of view.
Ships: See page one. Also, seriously, if you don't know what that is, WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
Me: See, we got through all that without any interruptions! I knew you could do it, Wylie!
Wylie: *With tape over his mouth* Mmph!
Me: Aw, thank you! Now let's continue!
"What to do if someone bashes your ship:"
Me: Unless, of course, the ship is a notp discussed elsewhere in the book, then ship bashing isn't necessarily a crime. Probably still rude, so try to avoid bashing notp's when shippers are around.
Linh: Bashing is never nice! All ships should be respected!
Me: FLINH! FLINH! FLINH!
Linh: Um... except that one.
Fitz: Hey! Why-
Me: ONTO THE BOOK EXCERPT!
"You can...
1) Bash their ship. However, this is generally viewed as the WRONG response."
Tam: *Writing 500-page essay on why Thalico sucks (which it DOES!) because someone bashed Solangelo, his OTP* What do you mean, it's totally the right response!
Linh: Tam? Are you... a Solangelo fanpotato?
Tam: *Shoves Solangelo merchandise behind him* *Panics* What? Nooooooooooo...
Linh: Oh my mallowmelt, he is!
Tam: SDFEJFDSLKFJEWORUEWJKD! NO!
Biana: It's okay, Tam. I think it's cute!
Tam: *Becomes a tomato* (A Tam-ato! HAHAHAHA I'm funny)
Me: Awwwwwwww, Bam!
Dex: Weren't you just fangirling over Kam and Sophiana?
Me: Multishipping!
"2) Defend your ship politely."
Linh: *Calmly writing an essay on Lams* That one's the right response!
Dex: Is this like a Song twins thing?
Me: *Reading essay* LAMS! ! ! ! ! ! !
Wylie: (In perfect Lauren's interlude voice) Tomorrow there'll be more of us!
Me: *Takes out dueling pistols* Why the mallowmelt would you even-
Wylie: CONTINUE WITH THE BOOK PLEASE!
"3) Ignore them.
4) Alert the other shippers and let them deal with the basher.
5) Probably some other response that I can't think of at the moment- WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T GO BACK AND CHANGE THIS!?"
Wylie: Lol, A. Fan's life struggles.
Me: *Obsessively reading Lams fluff* HEY!
"Fanperson noises:
Asdfghjkl: It's not entirely clear how this is pronounced, but I think it's AS-DUH-FUG-JI-KILL. This term is used to express excitement or as a response to extreme cuteness.
Pterodactyl screech: Screech like a pterodactyl. Also used as a response to excitement and/or cuteness. WARNING: MAY CAUSE HEARING LOSS TO THE SURROUNDING AREA.
Keyboard smash: Smashing the keyboard to express extreme feels. These keyboard smashes do not need to be understandable, legible, or pronounceable. Examples include DSKTHEWIDFSKJLHDSFDJSLDFJSF or KDSJFLKSJFSADJGDLFISA. The letters a, s, d, f, j, k, and l are most common in keyboard smashes because they're on the home row. Keyboard smashes can also sometimes contain a hidden message inside, like DKFHSDKFJSLDFMALLOWMELTADKHDSKFAMAZKDJGDSKFJS, which contains the name of my crush.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH: What do you think this means? It's screaming.
Hyperventilation/ gasping: Again- WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS?
Idk if this counts as a noise but... CAPS LOCK. USED TO EXPRESS EMPHASIS, SCREAMING, OR SOMEONE WHO TURNED IT ON AND IS TOO LAZY/ FORGOT TO TURN IT OFF. (I AM VERY MUCH GUILTY OF THAT LAST ONE. LIKE RIGHT NOW XD.)"
Me: *Making all the fangirl noises*
Everyone else: *Mildly deaf*
"Dictionary/Thesaurus of fangirls:
Sane: (Adj.) Meaning: Insane. Synonyms: Obsessed, Fangirl/potato, (A very obsessed fangirl!), etc. Antonyms: Normal."
Tam: Wow... I can't help but think that "sane" might be sarcasm.
Me: No! I'm genuinely sane... *Maniacal laughter*
Linh: *Slowly backing away* ...let's continue...
"Fine: (Adj.) Meaning: Probably having a mental breakdown due to the aforementioned sanity, but you know, it's all good. Synonyms: FREAKING OUT!, panicking, squealing, fangirl/potato-ing, etc. Antonyms: Okay, calm, etc.
One [True paring]: (Noun) Meaning: Many, many, many [favorite ships]. Synonyms: Plethora, myriad (nice!), countless, abundant. Antonyms: Singular, No [tp].
Fluff: (Noun) Meaning: Cute fanfiction, usually lighthearted and happy. Synonyms: Elixir of life, medicine, asdfghjkl, etc. Antonyms: Angst.
Angst: (Noun) Meaning: A method of self-torture, that is "probably" bad for your health and yet you're addicted. Sad fanfictions. Synonyms: Torture, pain, etc. Antonyms: Fluff, happiness, good life decisions."
Wylie: I have an idea! Let's make A. Fan read lots of angst!
Me: Great idea- wait...
"Expression of opinion: (Noun) Meaning: Providing your opinion on a matter, in such a way that it was probably supposed to be a quick sentence or two but turned into a novel-length essay (Partial credit to Cary Swirls!) Synonyms: Essay, rant, book, etc. Antonyms: Sentence, short statement.

Sophie: A. Fan, aren't you supposed to be doing homework right now?
