If there's one thing fans are good at, it's making up new words, or new uses of already existing words/punctuation (like the exclamation point in things like fanon!Draco, or the background of the word "slash").
Hell, the word "fan" is a shortening of the word "fanatic," but I have no idea how far back that goes.
I mean, like, seriously. Crackfic, mary-sue, britpick: fanfiction is just full of its own made-up words.
Out of curiousity, what don't you like about the idea of fanfiction?
