TG's TLK dictionary: get to know the fandom!
Posted: April 1st, 2010, 1:08 pm
With the help of many MLK buddies, I made this Lion King dictionary, which is full of terms that are used in the fandom, like fanart sites and forums. This is the 2nd version of the TLK dictionary, I've been categorizing terms and put them into alphabetical order. Thanks for helping all of you, and I hope this dictionary is a good help for the newer people in the fandom!
SNB: shorter name for "Simba's New Brother", a comic about lion cub Malka who is lost in the savannah and befriends cub Simba.
SP: shorter name for "Simba's Pride"
TLK: shorter name for "the Lion King"
TLK:6NA or TLK6NA: shorter name for "Six new Adventures", a pack of 6 books in which Kopa, the son of Simba, is the main character. In these books Kopa hears stories from different characters. Each book is a story, with another Lion King character starring as the main person, one book is about Zazu "How true, Zazu?" and one is about Nala "Nala's Dare"

Canon: reffering to the original in-movie characters and settings of the lion king. Some other characters originally developed by Disney but not included in the movie such as Kopa are still classed as canon characters by some people.

userbar/siggybar: a rectanglish bar with a text, and most commonly an image on it which states a certain fact about the member using it: having the users name on it, or saying a thing about the member like "Kovu fan" or "Vitani Lover" These bars are used in the signature area, where you can put either images or text.
