Let's make a novel acronym guide. I'm tired of being confused by unknown acronyms. I'm sure that I'm not the only one. It'll help the lurkers and unfortunates to find that one amazing novel you were praising but only wrote the acronym for. If the list gets long enough, it might even help you one day. Donate an acronym to the list today~ Post acronyms, nicknames or shortened titles together with their full title and a link to their NU novel page. I'll put them all in a list in the second post. Rules: 1. Only for NU novels. 2. No making up random acronyms on the spot. 3. Try to post acronyms that you have seen at least 2 different people using. 4. Please post the URL/link too if you can 5. If you don't write the full title or post a link, I'll ignore it for now. (I might try looking later)
