Pick away! Funnily enough, I still consider myself to be a newbie. I've only been writing/reading fanfic since Sept. So we're in the same boat.

The list of abbreviations that I use is found at adultfanfiction.net at the following link:

Another great resource is in the LJ community [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] In particular, this post:

http://community.livejournal.com/bloodclaim/2583.html

If you aren't a member there, it's worth joining just for the resource list but I happen to love that community!

But the main place I got my informaiton? I asked, just like you just did! Nearly every writer here will answer your questions. They're so welcoming. I just asked a friend today what something meant that I didn't know!

I hope this helps and if you need anything else, please feel free to ask. I'm happy to help!

Good luck!
