And what do they mean? They are story codes, and they give you a brief glimpse at what sort of story it is. Note that many authors *only* use the sex and age descriptions. If the story code includes more than that, it is *likely* that anything to which you might object that is listed below is mentioned in the story code. It is not *certain*. * NOTE: If you have written a story, this is not your FAQ. Look up the * story-code FAQ for authors. * http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/austen/104/faq_writ.htm The code serves both as an advertisement and as a warning label. If you want stories about women being forced into sex, look for "nc" or "rape." If you would rather not read that sort of story, avoid ones with those labels. Generally, unless you have pretty catholic tastes, know the author from previous stories, or have read a review, it's wiser to simply avoid unlabeled stories. For that matter, most unlabeled posts (on a.s.s -- a.s.s.moderated is different) are spam rather than stories. These codes break down into several categories. "caution" Something in the story might offend (or even sicken) you, but the author isn't telling you what. SEX & AGE: "M,m,b" are all males. "b" is always a young boy. "F,f,g" are all females. "g" is a young girl. "M,F" *should* be adults; "m,f" *should* be teens. They aren't always, because posters are careless (or clueless). Also, in the bondage/dominance community, "M" is a male dominant, "m" is a male submissive, etc. MF is adult heterosexual sex ff is teen lesbian sex MMM/f means adult men gang-banging a teenaged girl etc. M+F Means several men and one woman MF+ Means one man and several women The presence or absence of "/" doesn't mean much. teen Teenagers Preteen Ages 12 and below ped Ages 12 and below FORCE and CONSENT: "rape" is rape "nc" is non-consensual. That is rape in law, but the style may be different. "reluc" Woman says no, but loves it when she is raped. "con" or "cons" Is consent. "rom" is romantic, always consensual. "bd" means bondage (and discipline) "bondage" means bondage (should be bd) "dom," "ds," "d/s" refers to dominance and submission. "mc" means "mind-control" a big subgenre. "mdom, fdom, femdom" indicate the sex of the dominant one. "sm" Sadomasochism "span" Spanking, mild sm. All of these might be capitalized. No difference. STYLE: "1st" First time, defloration or male first time. "beast" Bestiality, sex with animals (should be "best"). "best" Bestiality, sex with animals. "cbt" Cock and ball torture. "CD" Cross dressing (should be tv). "Celeb" The story is about a celebrity. "exhib" Exhibitionism. "furry" Animals with human characteristics. Werewolf or Mickey Mouse. "inc" Incest. "interr" Interracial. "lac" Milk, not from a cow. "preg" Either impregnation or sex with a pregnant woman. "snuff" Killing. "stroke" The author intended it simply to arouse. "tort" Torture. "tg" Trans-gender men being changed into women or vice versa. "tv" Transvestite men dressing as women. "virg" Virgin (should be 1st). "voy" Voyeur, peeking. "ws" Water sports. Pissing. "wife" Wife *watching*; consensual cuckoldry. "yng" Participants are young. (Should be "ped" or the specified ages above). "zoo" Zoophilia, sex with animals Sometimes interracial stories are labeled "WM BF," etc. White and Black of course. I have seen Asian abbreviated "A." Nothing forces writers to use these codes, and many make up their own. But these are a start. There is a list of recommendations for authors being published concurrently on alt.sex.stories.d These codes should, but might not, be included within ( parentheses ). Codes outside the parenthesis might be the story codes. Or they might mean something different. e.g. "REP" or "rep" is a repost. "RP" or "rp" is a repost. "REV" or "rev" is a revision. This is a story which has been changed, at least in the quality of the writing, by the author. "TV" *sometimes* means Television "ST-TNG" Star-Trek, the next generation. If you have to ask, you don't want to read it. "nnd" Is not a code. It is Roller's ongoing series about "naughty, naked dreamgirls." Take the word "girls" seriously. "JDR" Is a John Dark Repost. ALSO: {ASS} or {ASSM} at the beginning of a post almost always means that it is a real story, rather than spam. {Smith} identifies the author of the story. All of these are real stories. [3/7] means that it is the third chapter of seven. Some posters use [1/1] irrationally when it is really part of a multipart story. [3/?] means that the author hasn't written any more yet, but might some day. -- Uther Pendragon anon584c@nyx.net The Sri Lankan government includes the use of condoms in its training for cleaning women about to take foreign jobs. -- +----------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `--------------+ | | | | Archive site +----------------------+--------------------+ Newsgroup FAQ | ----
