This section is dedicated to giving you my coding system for pairings and to explain certain abbreviations that are bandied about in the anime fandom community - I remember when I first became active, how confusing everything was.

Please note that the pairing system is based on my own list of abbreviations for character names - constructed after a question on the SaiyanSlash Mailing List - and is an attempt to counteract confusion from the use of a single letter that denotes more than one character (for instance: V - Vegeta or Videl?)

+ The characters are paired in a mild romantic situation, no sex x The characters are paired in a sexually romantic situation
/ The characters are paired. This is a general pairing code. Precedence Putting the code for a particular character before that of another indicates that they are the aggressor in the relationship. For instance (Gk)xV indicates that Goku is seme and Vegeta uke.
Other characters Should you wish to make it clear that other characters are present, then simply list them. Please put commas between them in order to make it clear who is who. Multiple letter codes Make sure that characters with more than one letter to their code are placed in brackets ( ) for instance Goku would be coded as (Gk)
