Version 3.4 -- January, 2000
What are all of those funny letters after the titles of
stories? 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.nyx.net/~anon584c/code/scfa.txt
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 except on
dominance stories. In those stories the one(s) to the left of
the slash are dominating those to the right of the slash.
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.
"cons" or "con" Is consent.
"rom" is romantic, which should always be 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.
"BBW" "Big Beautiful Women," Appreciation of fat women.
"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.
"magic" Magic, or ghouls, or that sort of background.
"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.
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.
More on what should, but might not, be included in the subject
