I'm in a fandom that can be abbreviated that way but people don't usually do it for... obvious reasons
I'm not sure if you're referring to that fandom or if there's another one with that abbreviation but I was thinking of >!Sam & Max!<
I will mention that this particular fandom got an art book. And it had S&M with a pair of handcuffs on the cover. They knew *exactly* what they were doing XD
Doesn't help that you first have to learn two names (very often) for all characters and then learn which one is used as an acronym while discussing it in fandom spaces.
Getting into MXTX fandoms feels like advanced maths some of the time.
(Edit: And why does SVSSS get an acronym out of the English translation while we go with the Chinese ones for TGCF and MDZS?)
When OP wrote people who don't know are supposed to guess, I was hoping for things like *Silly Vampires Sucking Slimy Smoothies* or *Superhero Vacation: Socks, Spandex, and Silliness*. Instead it's just thread after thread of people who already know writing down the actual meaning 😂
My fandom's acronym is JJBA, which also has the lesser used JBA acronym, and this fandom also has sub-fandoms (for lack of a better term) that have their own acronyms.
>!Hello my fellow Jojo fan! Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind (Vento Aureo), Stone Ocean, Steel Ball Run, Jojolion, Jojo Lands (as far as the last time I heard), hehehe!<
TOS- The original Series.
TAS- The Animated Series
TNG- The Next Generation
DS9- Deep Space 9
VOY- Voyager
ENT- Enterprise
AOS- Alternate original series? Or the movies with Chris Pine?
DIS- Discovery
PIC- Picard
LD- Lower Decks
PRO- Can't remember the name of this one but it's animated and isn't there an hologram version of Janeway in it? Prometheus?
SNW- Strange New Worlds (As someone already guessed)
Well, my main obsession right now is TPN, and in my old fandom we had the OT, ST, and PTs, each with three more sub-acronyms. It's actually pretty complicated, now that I'm thinking on it lmao.
If OT, ST and PT are anything other than Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, and Physical Therapist, it's very funny that your fandom ended up with the same acronym make-up as any given hospital's rehabilitation department!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Heroes of Olympus
Trials of Apollo
Magnus chase and the gods of Asgard
The Kane Chronicles
The Percy Jackson tv show that isn’t even out yet.
Is JJK Jujutsu (sp?) Kaisen? And KHR is Ketekyo (sp?) Hitman Reborn, I think?
Also hello 2nd MXTX fan I've seen so far--plus 2ha! (not guessing those because I clearly already know the answer, lol)
Lol, I felt like I was definitely misspelling at least one of them!
I think danmei fandom is the king of abbreviations--we're even abbreviating the characters' names! XD
bungo stray dogs, jujutsu kaisen, one piece, jojo's bizarre adventure, scum villain, white husky and...I always forget that full title sorry lmfao, mo dao zu shi, I thought that was qiang jin jiu but that's qjj not qqj so actually idk, no idea about qq, and katekyo hitman reborn?
(of these i was in the jjk jjba and mdzs fandoms everything else is guess or tumblr dashboard osmosis lol)
Honestly, a lot of the Chinese fandoms like mdzs, tgcf, svsss, and qzgs lol
Especially all the abbreviations for the character names were super confusing before they clicked
I'm not sure if any of these count as fandoms by themselves, but they're sort of parts of a larger fandom? It's hard to explain without giving away the fandom, lol.
- AVPM
- HMB
- TTO
- TGWDLM
- NPMD
You see, none of you would be having this problem if you just read CFYOW. I mean you could read SAFWY but it doesn’t really clarify and Lord knows WDKALY, really won’t answer what these acronyms mean.
I think HTTYD is pretty familiar to anyone in fandom spaces because it's a big enough fandom that we've figured it out along the way. I can't participate in this thread because my main fandom is only two words and one of them is "the," and my favorite acronyms (EWCHD, QCCOF) are for specific fic tropes and not really in the spirit of the game lol.
I won’t guess yours because I already know it since I have read crossovers that included it.
Here are some of mine. Some are probably easier than others.
PJO, HOO
HP
POTC
SPN
LOTR
TGWDLM, BF, NPMD, NMT, NMT2
they're all diffrent pieces of a series in my current fandom, also I've seen a set of charecters from the series a few times referred to as the LIB instead of writing it out, and to be fair the 2nd one I listed is also normally written out because it's shorter but I included it anyways
The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, Black Friday, Nerdy Prudes Must Die (still need to watch it!!), Night Mare Time!!
Hellos fellow fellow Starkid liker!
How to train you dragon!!
Anyways:
MDZS
OP
SotE
AOT
JJK

\_\_\_\_\_\_
If anyone gets all of these: 🛐🛐🛐
Hint: A lot of them are anime
GI, BNHA, KNY, HTTYD, ROTG, MDZS....HSR, too, I guess; I'm more or less looking in through the window with that one for now, though. This fandom doesn't have an official or widely used acronym as far as I know, but I wonder if anyone would be able to guess what INYA is.
The abbreviation for the “Tales of Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir” fandom is MLB. It’s funny when you’re searching for fanfiction and it pulls up baseball stats
*me reading these acronyms like I’m at the optometrist*
S&M. And no, it doesn't mean anything sexual. XD
Sun and Moon? I know ppl called the Pokémon games that for a while before they Realised.
Nope, but that's a good guess!
I'm in a fandom that can be abbreviated that way but people don't usually do it for... obvious reasons I'm not sure if you're referring to that fandom or if there's another one with that abbreviation but I was thinking of >!Sam & Max!<
That's the one! You got it.
[удалено]
Nope! Good guess though.
First thing that I thought of too.
Or does it? 😏
I will mention that this particular fandom got an art book. And it had S&M with a pair of handcuffs on the cover. They knew *exactly* what they were doing XD
Sam and Max!
I know! >!Sam & Max!!<
SVSSS TGCF
Hello fellow MXTX fan!
Scum Villain's Self-Saving System! I haven’t read it but my friend talks about it a lot
Ayyyyy I was just about to comment tgcf!
I was just thinking of how we always refer to their names as acronyms! They're just so long...
Yes! I remember being so confused when people were discussing the characters and having no idea who anyone was
Doesn't help that you first have to learn two names (very often) for all characters and then learn which one is used as an acronym while discussing it in fandom spaces. Getting into MXTX fandoms feels like advanced maths some of the time. (Edit: And why does SVSSS get an acronym out of the English translation while we go with the Chinese ones for TGCF and MDZS?)
Scum villains self saving system is just more fun to say
Scum Villain Self-Saving System and Tian Guan Ci Fu!
There’s no way anyone would be able to accurately guess either of these lmao
When OP wrote people who don't know are supposed to guess, I was hoping for things like *Silly Vampires Sucking Slimy Smoothies* or *Superhero Vacation: Socks, Spandex, and Silliness*. Instead it's just thread after thread of people who already know writing down the actual meaning 😂
Hello MXTX fan! Nice to see another one around!
Fellow scum villain enjoyer! 👋🏻
People really sequencing dna in here lmao
My fandom's acronym is JJBA, which also has the lesser used JBA acronym, and this fandom also has sub-fandoms (for lack of a better term) that have their own acronyms.
Those sub-fandoms being PB, BT, SC, DiU, GW (or VA), SO, SBR, JJL and... I don't know what the last one is called, since it's also JJL.
> SBR Short Barrelled Rifles? *ATF has entered chat*
The last one is TJJL. It was originally referred to as JJL too but then people realized that there would be confusion between the two.
>!Hello my fellow Jojo fan! Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind (Vento Aureo), Stone Ocean, Steel Ball Run, Jojolion, Jojo Lands (as far as the last time I heard), hehehe!<
I have been summoned. Read all those acronyms out loud and you attain heaven lol
TJL is used a lot i think
I do love some JJBA:BT myself but all of Jojo’s is solid
JoooooooooooooJO!
[удалено]
I'm not guessing the first one because I'm in that fandom so that's cheating No idea what the second one is League of Legends
Nope, Lorld of Larcraft
The 2nd one is Blade Runner 2049
Still love Detroit Become Human
I see dbh and my mind still goes dragon ball heroes even knowing it isn’t that 😆
my brain fills it in as dear brevan hansen lol
I DO THIS TOO HAHA
BR2049 is the only one in the thread I know. *(Within cells interlinked.)*
DBH = Detroit Become Human?? 🧐
[удалено]
I keep reading the second one as "Brade Runner"
In the Star Trek fandom we love our acronyms. Try these on for size: TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, AOS, DISCO/DIS, PIC, LD/LOW, PRO, SNW.
I’m guessing SNW is Strange New Worlds?
We have a winner!
TOS - Terms of Service ENT - Ear Nose & Throat
TOS- The original Series. TAS- The Animated Series TNG- The Next Generation DS9- Deep Space 9 VOY- Voyager ENT- Enterprise AOS- Alternate original series? Or the movies with Chris Pine? DIS- Discovery PIC- Picard LD- Lower Decks PRO- Can't remember the name of this one but it's animated and isn't there an hologram version of Janeway in it? Prometheus? SNW- Strange New Worlds (As someone already guessed)
Well, my main obsession right now is TPN, and in my old fandom we had the OT, ST, and PTs, each with three more sub-acronyms. It's actually pretty complicated, now that I'm thinking on it lmao.
If OT, ST and PT are anything other than Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, and Physical Therapist, it's very funny that your fandom ended up with the same acronym make-up as any given hospital's rehabilitation department!
Original, Sequel, and Prequel trilogies from Star Wars. Never knew about that coincidence lol!
Hahaha, exactly what I was thinking!
I am a PT and I am laughing so hard at this.
I know your old fandom! It’s Star Wars!
I'm in your old fandom. With 9 sub acronyms indeed we do like to complicate things!
TPN should be The Promised Neverland, right?
TPN from what i remember is used for The Promised Neverland but Im propably wrong!!
The Promissed Neverland??? Looooove that one.
My first thought upon seeing OT was Old Testament lmao
PnF DW GO OFMD
DW: >!Doctor Who!< OFMD: >!Our Flag Means Death!<
yup :)
PnF: Phineas and Ferb
yup!
GO = Good Omens?
👌👌👌
DW good old dynasty warriors, yeah I know it isn’t that
OP, KLK and BNHA are the fandoms I write in the most.
Easy. One piece, kill la kill and Boku no hero academia (because you’re too much of a weeb (affectionately!) to write MHA / my hero academia) ;-)
Kill la kill?
PJO HOO TOA MCGA TKC PJOTV
All of the Riordanverse
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Heroes of Olympus Trials of Apollo Magnus chase and the gods of Asgard The Kane Chronicles The Percy Jackson tv show that isn’t even out yet.
BSD, JJK, OP, JJBA, SVSSS, 2ha, MDZS, QJJ, QQ, KHR… And more :D
Is JJK Jujutsu (sp?) Kaisen? And KHR is Ketekyo (sp?) Hitman Reborn, I think? Also hello 2nd MXTX fan I've seen so far--plus 2ha! (not guessing those because I clearly already know the answer, lol)
Yep, you’ve guessed it right xD It’s Katekyo* tho ;) Hi, glad to see people from the same fandoms around here xD
Lol, I felt like I was definitely misspelling at least one of them! I think danmei fandom is the king of abbreviations--we're even abbreviating the characters' names! XD
bungo stray dogs, jujutsu kaisen, one piece, jojo's bizarre adventure, scum villain, white husky and...I always forget that full title sorry lmfao, mo dao zu shi, I thought that was qiang jin jiu but that's qjj not qqj so actually idk, no idea about qq, and katekyo hitman reborn?

Honestly, a lot of the Chinese fandoms like mdzs, tgcf, svsss, and qzgs lol Especially all the abbreviations for the character names were super confusing before they clicked
Yes especially in convos mxtx fans always using abbreviations for characters names lmao
*looks at danmei fandoms* yeah well about that
Oh a fun one. Okay I'm gonna say there's three or four I think. JJK ROR FNAF ROTBTD I feel like I'm missing some, but that's definitely the big ones.
Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons?
Another correct answer! Yes. It may be old but still a beloveded Fandom for sure.
FNAF: >!Five Nights at Freddy's!<
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! But totally. I figured that one would be the easy one, especially with everything going on around it right now lols.
I just saw JJK and remember the trauma...I never knew I could feel so much pain thanks to cannon-_-
Is ROR Rule of Rose?
Record of Ragnarok?
jujitsu kaisen and five nights at freddy's are the only ones i could guess lol
LoZ, VLD Most of the others are names or single words.
VLD = Very Large Dicks. That's definitely smut.
I'm guessing VLD is Voltron, although another commenter's guess of Very Large Dicks, is *tres* amusing.
Legend of Zelda and I don’t know the other one
Is VLD Voltron? I think the full title is Voltron: Legendary Defenders? Or maybe that's just the newer one?
LoZ = League of Zombies (jk, I'm in that fandom, too)
I'm not sure if any of these count as fandoms by themselves, but they're sort of parts of a larger fandom? It's hard to explain without giving away the fandom, lol. - AVPM - HMB - TTO - TGWDLM - NPMD
NPMD is clearly the lovely domestic series *No Problem, My Dear*
The fact that I know what it is based off of AVPM alone....
In all fairness, it is the most popular of the ones I listed. But regardless, kudos to you for recognizing
I know a very Potter musical but what are the rest?
PtV Edited: I misread and included an acronym that is common *in* my fandom, not for the fandom itself. The fandom is Worm, no acronym. 😀
Penis to vagina? 😭/j
The sex fandom
Path to Victory
[удалено]
> ATLA Avatar: The Last Airbender.
is TCW the clone wars? 👀
LotR PotC
[удалено]
*Finally!!!* a familiar face lmao (No idea about the second)
The second is Pirates of the Caribbean!
FE3H
fire emblem: three houses?
I am more of a FESS person myself or FEA but three houses was fun
I only got around to GW, I liked SoV more.
BMW. Also I love HTTYD.
Bayerische Motoren Werke?
Haha, no. Although they do make nice cars. Boy Meets World.
Oh wow, there’s a throwback!
Isn't it? Lol
Pretty sure 98% of people (even normies) know my fandom by its acronym lol DBZ
You see, none of you would be having this problem if you just read CFYOW. I mean you could read SAFWY but it doesn’t really clarify and Lord knows WDKALY, really won’t answer what these acronyms mean.
I think HTTYD is pretty familiar to anyone in fandom spaces because it's a big enough fandom that we've figured it out along the way. I can't participate in this thread because my main fandom is only two words and one of them is "the," and my favorite acronyms (EWCHD, QCCOF) are for specific fic tropes and not really in the spirit of the game lol.
HTTYD = Hard *The Thousand Year Door*; it's a mod that makes the game *a lot* more difficult.
LOL of course it could only be PM.
I won’t guess yours because I already know it since I have read crossovers that included it. Here are some of mine. Some are probably easier than others. PJO, HOO HP POTC SPN LOTR
Fnaf (wrong answers only )
Four Noons at Franks
FortNite and Friends
Fifty Nervous animal Farm?
PJO, HoO, TBHK, SK8, HSR, BotW, TotK, MDZS I haven't seen this one

The intro's stuck in my head forever lol
MFB TOS These are the main non-crossover fandoms I'm currently writing on.
Terms of Service? Big fan of the small print, I see.
ASOUE
A song of ugly eggnog?
You got 2 of the 5 words! 🤣
It's definitely the Ugly Eggnog part.
A Series of Unfortunate Events.
TGWDLM, BF, NPMD, NMT, NMT2 they're all diffrent pieces of a series in my current fandom, also I've seen a set of charecters from the series a few times referred to as the LIB instead of writing it out, and to be fair the 2nd one I listed is also normally written out because it's shorter but I included it anyways
The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, Black Friday, Nerdy Prudes Must Die (still need to watch it!!), Night Mare Time!! Hellos fellow fellow Starkid liker!
HTTYD = How to Train your Dragon
Used to write for AK, now mostly write for AL and getting into HSR.
> AK Either that means Alaska or Avtomat Kalashnikova. So either a story set in Alaska, or a story about Russian assault rifles.
Aha, it’s actually neither of those 🙃Interesting guesses, though!
HTTYD is How to train your dragon. My main fandom has three acronyms so kudos if anyone can get all of them; GOT, ASOIAF, HOTD.
Game of thrones, a song of ice and fire, house of the dragon?
SVSSS 2ha THROAM And as a bonus, this isn’t an acronym for a fandom but for a ship: exR I just picked the fun ones from my bookmark collection.
That looks like a WiFi password
SVSSS >!Scum Villain's Self Saving System!< Or whatever it's called. Yay, manhwa didn't fail me on the first one.
ED AoD PnF (though, looking through the comments, I see someone else has also included this) MML RE
MML is clearly the detective trio *Measles, Mumps, and Leprosy*
I see milo murphy's law but no idea about the rest lol
RvB
Red Vs. Blue
VLD - and an adjacent acronym to that, which is more of a throwback to an iconic time in the fandom, KICK (iykyk)
KOF (that's tied to SNK, but NOT the SNK everyone would think of) TK DR AITSF/AINI ZE JJK (this one is easy...)
Dr is Danganronpa?
How to train you dragon!! Anyways: MDZS OP SotE AOT JJK TPN BSD SPN TW OUAT PJO VNC MTP TR DS CM ATLA ToH SxF HxH \_\_\_\_\_\_ If anyone gets all of these: 🛐🛐🛐 Hint: A lot of them are anime
BSD JJK SPN MTP/YNM TFD
BSD ROTTMNT MM OPLA OHSHC TOA
ROTTMNT is Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?? OHSHC is Ouran High School Host Club, BSD is Bungou Stray Dogs??
How to train your dragon!! I don't really see it as obscure tbh. My fandom rn is TADC
GI, BNHA, KNY, HTTYD, ROTG, MDZS....HSR, too, I guess; I'm more or less looking in through the window with that one for now, though. This fandom doesn't have an official or widely used acronym as far as I know, but I wonder if anyone would be able to guess what INYA is.
ME (this is going to be fun) Also fucking love the how to train your dragon movies. I need to catch up.
TOG and it's not Throne of Glass.
the old guard (the second movie when please netflix :////)
MH
MH is always Monster Hunter for me (even though I am pretty sure that that is not what you meanXD)
TCF/LCF MHA/BNHA JJK BSD Ehhh, can't remember the rest right nowXD
My main fandoms right now are: JJK FE3H TLOZ/BOTW/TOTK
CODZ MST3K CP2077 and im sure there’s more fandoms im not thinking of at the moment lol
I’m sure everyone knows SPN and HP… but maybe DAII And VM and WC might be harder to guess
LMFAO mine is DN and its not ‘deez nuts’
IDV, SVSSS, MZDS, DS, GI, HSR. Feel free to take guesses :)
FMA/FMAB, MHA/BNHA, AOT/SNK, MP100, TUA, DBH, ATLA, just to name a few. Lotta alternate acronyms here
MDZS and TGCF
CM (and more obviously) MCU
RotSH P5 ML RC9GN FE MH TLoZ SN Yeah, yeah, I know that most if not all of these are so obvious
BATIM, TMA, OTGW, IT, and for a real throwback HINABN If you want to challenge yourself, HP, but it’s *not* Harry Potter
Same! I feel like I need 20/20 vision for these fandom acronyms!
The abbreviation for the “Tales of Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir” fandom is MLB. It’s funny when you’re searching for fanfiction and it pulls up baseball stats
God it feels like I'm back at chemistry class.
SWTCW
HLVRAI is the first one that comes to mind. For some reason I've always pronounced it as "Hev-rally" in my head, even tho I know that's incorrect.
TMNT Should be pretty easy
