Common acronyms and abbreviations you will find here, at the Author’s Hangout:

AH – Author’s Hangout
AFAIK – As Far As I Know
AV – Avatar (see below for more on this topic)
BDSM – Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/submission, Sadism/masochism
CV – Curriculum Vitae (or, more commonly here at the AH: Chilled Vodka)
D/s – Dominance/submission

AH – Author’s Hangout, a forum n Literotica. Moderated for your convenience and to keep sometimes-unfriendly elements from turning threads into a shouting match.

BDSM – Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism. Sometimes the DS is also taken to include Dominance and Submission. Too complex to define here, and means different things to different people, but in a story it generally means someone’s getting tied up or spanked.

BTB – Burn The Bitch. Generally a story in which a manipulative or otherwise nasty female “gets what’s coming to her” which can take a variety of forms from humiliation to outright ruin to death. Some of these may be moralistic tales of the Crime Doesn’t Pay sort, but in general they are exercises in pay back wrapped in misogyny. Generally seen in LW (q.v.).

Cuck – A cuckold. Strictly speaking this is any male who has a cheating wife. Here, often a male character who allows to encourages his partner to have sex with others (often while watching), generally to feel humiliation, but sometimes to objectify the partner. Standard (but contentious) fare in LW (q.v.)

EC – Erotic Couplings, the catchall category for generally erotic stories that don’t cater to any single specific fetish.

GB – General Board, a forum on Literotica. Often contentious; shouting matches are generally ok here.

GM – Gay Male (story or category). GF is not used as a parallel acronym and might be understood as girlfriend.

HEA – Happily Ever After. Describes a story that ends on a positive note with long term prospects of happiness, generally for two or more people; most often a successful relationship, but can be wealth, endless orgasms, or anything the characters desired for.

IR – interracial. Generally black on white or white on Asian, but could be extended to alien species, etc.

Jill – female masturbation. Derived from jack off, male masturbation. Presumably Jack and Jill needed the pail of water to wash up afterwards.

Lit - Literotica. lower case: literature, as in "erotic lit".

LW – Loving Wives, a category for stories here at Literotica. Known for an angry and insulting readership who are very divided on what the category is really about.

MC – Mind Control (category). Includes stories in which some magical or technological device turns someone into a veritable puppet for someone else’s amusement. Essentially a variation on NonCon for a specific fetish.

MF, MMF, lots of M’s and/or F’s – indicates the gender and number of people in a sexual encounter; MFF is one man and two women having sexual experiences together. Sometimes capitalization or slashes indicate dominance and submission, so Mf or M/f would signal a dominant male and submissive female. If all the letters are capital, dominance is not implied.

NonCon, sometimes NC – Non-consent. A category here at Literotica with an especially weakly defined set of boundaries; it doesn’t include outright rape, unless the victim enjoys or learns to enjoy the process. It also covers Reluctance, the “I shouldn’t but, I want to, but I must not give in. but…” that is the mainstay of erotic Romance, but ends up here if it’s too dark for Romance. Better described as “very dark but ultimately after-the-fact-consenting stuff that doesn’t fly elsewhere.”

Plot bunny. An idea for a plot in a story. They are everywhere, but can be hard to catch.

PM – Private message.

RAAC – Reconciliation At All Costs. A story in which a partner, even if abused or treated poorly, works to restore the relationship no matter how personally painful. Generally seen in LW (q.v.).

Stroke – masturbate

Stroker – a story, generally short and often plot free, written to get the reader to orgasm without having much other purpose.
