1. a post about abbreviation/acronym used in QAF fandom, 2. USA rating system

Hi,hopefully this is allowed here. A couple months ago I came accros a post in LJ talked about abbreviation/acronym that used in QAF fandom. Such as what's mary sue means or what is OOC or canon means. Stuffs like that. It's a personal journal. And I forgot to bookmark it as always because of my procrastination habit. It's quite a long list. And I also need rating system that use in USA, like what's PG means or R,etc. Hopefully someone know what I'm talking about since a friend of mine planning on writing a fic and from what I know all the authors use USA rating system. If it's not allowed in this comm,could you please point me to the right place? Thanks
Oh btw mod,any suggestion for better subject line? I'm not good with it :-)

ETA : FOUND both of them,please check comments.

I found this link in an old post...it might not be as complete as you need and it doesn't have the rating guide, but it's a start.
