Line 12:
* ''Drunk'' or ''Drunken'': Self-explanatory.
* ''Emo'': Synonym for "Angsty".
* ''Fem'': (Sometimes "Female".) A fairly rare tag,Sometimes used to indicate that a character of uncertain or variable gender is female or predominantly so in the fic. Especially common in [[Anime]] fanfiction. It's also used with a character (or a group of characters) of non-ambiguous gender, in which case it indicates a [[Gender Flip]].
** For Ranma of ''[[Ranma ½]]'', it usually indicates a story where he accepts and embraces his girl-side, often to the extent of abandoning being male altogether.
** In ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfiction, usually in stories written after the release of ''The Half-Blood Prince'', this is typically used to indicate a female Blaise Zabini.
** Multiple [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Bridgets]] were dropped on ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' fandom when the beautiful Tieria was revealed to have a masculine voice. Even now, people call for 'female!Tieria' or the more explicit 'Tiera-with-girl-parts'.
** This happens frequently with the ambiguous character Haku from ''[[Naruto]]'', but this tag also gets used all the time on ''Naruto himself''. Partially ''Justified'' in the fact that Naruto has been seen changing into a female form as part of a Henge (or disguise), based on himself if he were a well endowed female instead of a guy.
** Seen in video game fanfics in which a main character's gender can be chosen by the player, such as ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' (female!{{spoiler|Revan}}, female!Exile) and ''[[Mass Effect]]'' (female!Shepard, AKA fem!Shep) -- a corresponding "male" tag also exists.
** Seen in ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' fanfiction where a female version of Eli has become quite popular. Well, Girl Eli.
** Fem! versions of the [[Moe Anthropomorphism|nations]] in [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] denotes that they have been [[Gender Flip|gender bended]].
