I have been a bit busy today but I added some stuff and edited things per recommendations. So I will just be posting those things right now.

•Order of Names: Some writers (most in the anime/manga fandoms) will use the order of names in a pairing to tell you which character is the top during sex[ex. Joe/Bob, Joe top when having sex]

More Genres
•Gen Fic: a fic with no romantic or sexual content (het or slash)
•Genderswap/Genderbend/Rule 63: a story that changes the gender/sex of some characters [ex. Bob is now a woman]
•Kink: fics that generally focus on one or more personal desires of a reader.
oSexual kinks- sexual topics the reader enjoys. Often listed in the description or warnings by the author [More information below] (ex. cross dressing kink)
oGeneral kinks- anything non-sexual a reader really enjoys. These are usually not listed by the author as ‘kinks’ [ex. angst kinks or hurt/comfort kinks]
•Dark Fic: fics with a deliberately disturbing plot
•Hurt/Comfort: fics in which one character is harmed (emotionally or physically) and cared for by another character
•Kid Fic: a fic in which the characters are children or the characters have children
oDe-Age: a de-age fic has a usually adult character being turned into a child/infant/teen (physically mentally, or both) in the story.

Random Items
•Canon: DEF NEEDED
•Fanon: DEF NEEDED
•OC or Original Character: Used when a fic contains an original character. OMC is used for Original Male Character and OFC is used for Original Female Character
•OOC or Out of Character: used when a character is acting dissimilar to how the character acts in canon [EXAMPLE NEEDED]

For Canon and Fanon can some people give their most concise definitions?
And can anyone give me a a well known character and OOC traits that I can use for an example

Also, anymore genres anyone knows of?

Canon: all the events, character attributes, locations, items, etc. that happened in the original source material (book, TV series, movie, videogame, cartoon, etc.)

vs

Fanon: events, character attributes, locations, items, etc., that are accepted as canon by the fandom after gaining popularity via popular fanfiction stories or theories/jokes by Big Name Fans, but that aren't present in the original canon. A someone new to the fandom but who is otherwise intimately familiar with the source material would feel baffled at all the assumptions cropping up in fanfiction. Similar to Memes.

More definitions: BNF, "R & R" ("read and review", a phrase dangerously close to review-whoring)

Anon I am using your definition for canon (with a little slight wording change)

Fine by me!

Canon: What actually occurs in the source material.

Fanon (also known as 'headcanon'): What fans believe/wish had happened in the source material.

Maybe?

Also, maybe add a def. for "Crack Fic", i.e. fic that is deliberately over the top, and may be deliberately OOC for the sake of comedy?

I got Crack Fic in the genres :D

Oh, oops! Thanks for letting me know. :)

Used this example for a friend:

OOC is if the Joker declares his everlasting love for Batman and they promptly ride off into the sunset together. IC is if the Joker declares his everlasting love for Batman and Batsy promptly knocks him out and handcuffs him to the lamppost outside GCPD headquarters before hunting down whatever insane scheme required the Joker to say that.

Or more concisely:
Superman stands around doing nothing while a bunch of people get killed. (Though, given Superdickery...)
Or James Bond tells a pretty, willing woman that, no thanks, he doesn't really want to have sex.
Or Indiana Jones decides to keep all the treasure and become a mob boss.
Or almost any Bruce Willis character suddenly becomes a monk and takes a vow of pacifism.

Does that help?

Or James Bond tells a pretty, willing woman that, no thanks, he doesn't really want to have sex.

That's a good example in principle, though hilariously, I've just been watching For Your Eyes Only, and this actually happens. Of course, the pretty, willing woman in question is a minor, and his reaction is more, "Oh God you're like fifteen please stop kissing me I'll buy you an ice cream!"

Heh. Well, context is everything. Though original I had said "girl" and changed it to "woman" for pretty much that exact reason. (Granted, the only Bond movie I've ever seen is Skyfall, but I could extrapolate.)

It also happens in part of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but in that case it's more like 'let's not have sex until later, oh wait now you're dead.'

I always forget about DC stuff because I am not in that fandom but the Batman example is great. But I hate Superman so much not sure if I can even use him as an example.

Yeah, I think the fic we were talking about at the time involved Batman and possibly the Joker too, hence the example.

As for Superman... I probably can't comment, since the extent of my involvement with the DC Universe is basically the Dark Knight movies and the MMO. The same OOC action (or non-action) could be applied to a lot of superheroes, but Superman has it the worse, because he usually has the least room for excuses.

One obvious example I forgot to add - Voldemort decides Muggles are the best, or something similar.

Canon: Those events and elements explicitly present in the published source material on which a fanwork is based.

Fanon: Those events and elements that the fan culture surrounding a particular canon have collectively accepted as unofficial canon. (Contrast with headcanon: those events and elements that an individual fan has accepted as unofficial canon.)

Examples for OOC: When a canon love interest becomes inexplicably mean and spiteful or cheats on them, so as to give their partner an in-story justification for leaving them for the story's love interest; when a character inexplicably loses the confidence, physical fighting ability, or other powerful traits he or she possesses in canon for the sake of a story in which they are threatened or harmed and then rescued by a love interest.

I am going to use your definition of fanon (and also added headcanon to the list). I reworded it a bit, is that okay?

Sure, glad I could help!

The next part I am going to work on

-normal tags and why they are commonly included: fandom, genre, rating, characters, pairing, summary, format (multi-chaptered, drabble, one-shot, etc.), warnings

Any suggestions/to add? Any help with format (drabble,one shot, etc).

I'm not sure about this one, but from what I remember:

Drabbles: Self-contained stories that are exactly 100 words long. The definition has been expanded to other numbers, or sometimes just to very short stories. Compare to Micro-fiction, Flash-fiction.

One-shot: A story that delivered in one single installment.

Multi-chapter(ed): A story divided in chapters. A result of the common "writing-by-the-seat-of-your-pants" nature of fanfiction. Expect to see many stories remain incomplete ("Abandoned"), or on hold ("[on] Hiatus") as a result of writers stumbling upon writer's block or writing themselves into a corner, due to a lack of proper fore-planning, but this isn't a rule.

WIP: Work in Progress. An often multi-chaptered story still being written as it's updated.

Vignettes: Similar to drabbles, but more flight-of-fancy. They normally flaunt the common structure of beginning-middle-end.

Character study/Character centric: A story revolving around the inner thoughts or analysis of a character. Rarely follows a plot.

Labels/warnings: often included due to

a. The nature of fandom: many, many readers are in just to read about their few favorite pairings or characters, or in some fandoms, their pet plots (High School AUs, Time Travel stories, etc.), so having everything neatly labeled helps reader zero in to the stories they want and ignore the rest.

b. Pet peeves, "squicks" and triggers: fandom is a multi-faceted beast: you can expect persons from all walks of life stumbling upon your stories, so letting them know beforehand if they might encounter something that disgusts them or possibly traumatizes them is good etiquette.
