A wizard did it: Unexplained thing that magically happened without a good reason.

Anti-Hero: Someone whose intentions are viewed on as evil, but they mean it in a good way, or for a good reason (example: Deadpool).
Mary Sue/Gary Stue: Someone who is wholly perfect in every way, they love themselves, love their thin body/prime body, have weird magical skills that make them seem OP. Though they usually are bullied for these differences.

Strong Female Character: A character that is well rounded and in all other ways beautiful and happens to be female.
@Althalosian-is-the-father book
"Strong Female Character": A Mary Sue character with no personality who does nothing but kick ass and probably look sexy. Some have an annoying habit of spouting stupid feminist lines at timed intervals.
@TinyMagicWolf pets
Fluff: Cute stuff between two (or more) characters. Usually romantic.
@jantz
(i feel like "a wizard did it" is a thing that happens quite often in my stories since they mostly involve magic.)

(You can pm me to talk about it if you want some advice.)

Too dumb to live/TDTL- an idiotic character that pointlessly puts themselves in harm's way (mostly for the love interest save them)
Example Miku from that one kagerou days PV from project diva
Wangst- pointless whining (mostly from a mary sue)
Bastard (Girl)Boyfriend(trope) A waste of oxygen that keeps love interest like shite but ends with them anyway, at best they're jerks, at worst they're abusers
MC- Main character (mostly ends up being the most tortured by Writer-sama)
Cinnamon Roll- Innocent character that needs to protected
Sinnamon Roll- Cinnamon Roll but not
Charries- Characters (Basic Writer-sama's Slaves)
Writer-sama(Made by yours truly)- A writer or a god in their story, a portmanteau of "Writer" and "Kamisama(god),"
@Althalosian-is-the-father book
Oh thanks for reviving this.

OTP: One True Pairing, a really great couple
To ship, shipping: When you think that two characters would make a great couple, either both from the same story or crossover-shipping with two characters from different stories
Shipname: A name for a ship (not the boat kind) made by combining the names of the people involved (example: Will Solace + Nico DiAngelo = Solangelo, or Percy + Annabeth = Percabeth)
(Idk if those are more of fandom terms but whatever)
(Also I am really surprised over how many of my non-writer friends that have no idea what these mean)
