Mentor (Sentinel zine)

Mentor is a 277-page slash novel by Grey. The art is by Lilac. 
It was first published in three "books" online from November 1999 to January 2000, then in 2003 republished as a zine.
==Summaries==
From the distributor: "During a murder investigation, Jim begins to suspect Blair has suffered abuse as a minor, possibly at the hands of his ‘mentor.’ They must learn to deal with their world spiraling tight around them, while Blair struggles through recovery." 
From a 2007 eBay seller: "Jim & Blair are in the middle of what seems to be a thoroughly fine relationship when Eli Stoddard, Blair's 1st mentor, dies. Blair closes down, and it takes all of Ellison's detective skills to get to the gist of Blair's horrifying 1st months at Rainier. Cover by & interior photo manipulation art by Lilac. The younger Eli Stoddard is pictured as the currently aged Chris Mel, rather more like his Oz personality than his Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit."

Mentor Fic

Mentor fic is a diverse fanfic genre that focusses on the relationship of a (usually older) character who is a mentor or father figure to another (usually younger) character. Mentoring relationships are very common in canon, especially in fandoms that revolve around martial arts such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Destroyer, The Karate Kid, etc. It is rare that the older character is a woman, though sometimes the younger is, such as with Buffy and Giles. Mentor fic can be gen or involve a romantic pairing overlaid on the mentor relationship. 
Some mentor fic may cater to a daddy kink or other power kinks with unequal relationship dynamics, such as teacher/student pairings. Some mentor fic may be underage or chan with the mentor aspect being an adult initiating a teenager to sex. For these reasons shipping or slashing a mentor relationship squicks other fans with the inequality, who for example may see teacher/student as a form of dub-con, or dislike such age differences. 
==Examples of Mentor Fic Collections==
*Potions and Snitches, a Snape & Harry gen archive with a focus on mentor fic (though it also archives Severitus other types of stories)
*The Summer I Turned Frisky, a multifandom slash zine for mentor fics

Both Nepeta <> Equius and Nepeta <3 Equius have been made subtags of Nepeta/Equius on Archive of our Own.https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Nepeta%20Leijon*s*Equius%20Zahhak Because of this, some might use Nepeta & Equius to indicate that the work depicts them as moirails instead of matesprits, even though both are considered romances in troll society. 
Because of this merger, Nepeta/Equius is slightly more common. As of October 2024, there are 776 works tagged as Nepeta/Equius, 510 works tagged as Nepeta & Equius, and 67 works that use both tags.

Mercedes Lackey and her views...

Mercedes Lackey and her views... is a 1999 open letter by Phil N. D'Blanc.
It was posted to the Usenet group, alt.books.m-lackey, after reading the statements made by Lackey's lawyer in 1994 addressing fans and fanworks and activities based on Lackey's creations. 
The author of this open letter got no support in the comments. This is not surprising, as this Usenet group was moderated by Lackey's volunteer moderators and they, as well as other fans, would likely report this open letter's content to Lackey herself. Fans on this newsgroup were also VERY invested in "behaving" as good fans should and not rocking the boat.

Merch Shrine

Merch Shrines often simply refered to as Shrines are an area of the home used to display fannish items such as merch, charms, enamel pins, keychains, fanart, stickers, buttons, Perler Beads and plushes. They may be comprised of official merchandise, Fan Merch and Fancraft, or some combination of the two. Shrines are usually composed of one or more shelves, with stands used to prop up items, and the back wall used to hang framed objects from.
As these shrines are located in a fan's home, they are less public than Itabags, and may be for their creator's eyes only. Alternatively, some fans upload their shrines to sites like Pinterest or Instagram for others to see.Pinoy K-Pop Fans Share Their Merch Shrines And We Are Obsessed from Cosmopolitan
== Idol Culture ==
Merch Shrines have become associated with Idols in the K-Pop and Vtuber fandoms. As these fandoms have a heavy focus on supporting a fan's chosen idol by purchase of Photocards, Prints, and other merchandise, Shrines became a popular way for fans to store and display their collections.
== Anime culture ==
It is common in Anime fandom for a shrine to be focused on Merchandise of a fan's chosen Waifu/husbando.
On Reddit, a large number of fans have shared shrines dedicated to their favourite Genshin Impact characters.My dedication knows no bounds for this man Xiao Shrine on Redditganyu merch shrine 🤍 Ganyu Shrine on RedditI pulled all my Childe merch together for extra EXTRA luck Childe Shrine on RedditI have been gifted so many Venti merch that I now have a small Venti shrine in my room Venti Shrine on Reddit
== Boy Bands ==
While less formalised, many boy-band fans have decorated walls with posters and photos of their chosen celebrities. These displays are likely to have predated the modern Merch Shrine.

Mercs

Mercs is a Professionals slash Bodie/Doyle 69-page story by Pam Rose. It won a Huggy Award in 1986.
The story is in the zine Discovered on a Rooftop: aka Forget that I Remember, and Dream that I Forget.
The story has art by Jean C..
Merc is short for mercenary and a reference to Bodie's life in Africa before he joined CI5.
==Summaries==
In 2000, two fans Cassie Ingaben and Dagger compiled an index of many of the circuit stories. They also wrote brief summaries:
Cassie: Bodie is undercover as a merc when he is hit by a joyriding car and loses his memory. Thinking he is *really* a merc, he goes to Africa to fight. Cowley thinks he may have sold out, but Doyle is adamant Bodie hasn't and goes after him to find out. D enrols as a merc too, and realizes Bodie has amnesia, even if Bodie is trying to cover it up. Bodie defends Doyle, and they eventually start a relationship (they were on the verge of just as Bodie went undercover). Bodie realizes Doyle is coming from his forgotten past but he is scared and reluctant, fearing his amnesia. They are eventually evacuated, as war breaks out in full. Bodie is wounded and it is discovered that he has a brain blood clot, cause of the amnesia. They operate him, but it is too late—his memory is most likely lost for good. Despite that, B&D optimistically decide that they can overcome the problem: Bodie is readmitted in CI5 despite Ross's doubts, and all is shaping up well.
Another reviewer's summary: "Bodie is hit by a car while pretending to be a mercenary called Odell and suffers from amnesia. Believing he is the mercenary, he travels to Africa, and Doyle is forced to follow him to try and find a way to approach this new Bodie, a Bodie who doesn't remember who he is."Madrigal's FanFiction Recs.

Mercy (Andromeda zine)

Mercy is a 124-page AU gen novel by Anna McLain. 
 
Summary: "When things go terribly wrong, Rommie finds herself alone, and accused of killing Dylan. But things go from bad to worse when she is convicted and set to prison."
Excerpt from the publisher's page:
 
:Rommie awoke slowly. Internal diagnostic: all systems operational. Four hundred five hours and thirty-three minutes missing. Terror stabbed her. It happened again, she thought. Where am I? What's happening to me? Confusion welled up inside her. Dizziness. Fear. Horror. Time and memory had betrayed her again, slipping away to leave her afraid and lost.
:She blinked rapidly, blurred vision clearing quickly. A form came into focus. Eyes. Striking eyes. Piercing. Haunted. The color of fall that Harper loved to describe to her in detail when he'd had a few too many beers. They were the green of the leaves shifting into autumn rust, blue of the Earth sky with hints of dusky gray and golden stars, outlined in black. Who? She focused. A man sat astride her. A human, 180 lbs, tawny beard and moustache, dark hair close cropped. Automatically, her sensors rattled off physical details. His forehead was open and high, yet far from serene. Lips childlike, yet chiseled with resolve. Eyes hooded yet piercing, as though they'd seen too much pain. A face filled with contradictions.
:He leaned closer, hand snaking toward her bosom.
:She slapped his hand away and shoved him off. He flew back and landed on his rear with a grunt. "Hey!" he snapped, rubbing the cheek that took the impact.
:She sat up, glanced around. Nothing looked familiar.
:He scrambled over to her. "Give it to me." Softly demanding.
 
:"What?" she exclaimed, bewildered. 
:"Now." He thrust his open palm out. "I was here first."
:"I have no idea what-"
:He reached toward her. She smacked his hands away. "Don't play games." Gritted teeth, twinkling eyes. Was he angry?
:"Who are you? What are you talking about? How did I get here?" she demanded, trying to keep her tone civil despite the confusion and worry swirling inside her head.
:His eyes narrowed as he studied her. His irises turned from green and tawny to a deep blue, shifting with his mood. Suddenly he opened them wide, staring into her eyes. He shot a glance around the room. "We have to get outta here, love."
:"Where am I?"

Mercy (Smallville story)

Mercy was an influential and much-discussed workseperis. Glancing reference in recs: fics that make you think post and more in comment thread, 26 April 2010. (Accessed 23 August 2010) in Smallville fandom, notable for its extremely dark portrayal of Lex Luthor, who proved willing to torture Clark when his father revealed Clark's alien origins.
The story questions what it means to be deserving of moral respect: if (as Lionel Luthor maintains) Clark is only an automaton, designed to elicit reactions in vulnerable humans the way the animatronic Luthorcorp robots in the story are, then even his expression of pain is not to be trusted, and to react to his appearance of suffering is to fall victim to deliberate manipulation. The story remains ambiguous about Clark's true interior existence, though it can be read to suggest that the key moral question is not whether Clark experiences pain but what it does to Lex to do things that look and feel to Lex like torturing a sentient being. Particularly notable and effective is the use of pronouns in the last line.
After the first version of the story was released, Koi added some detail to the story in response to some reader response that Lex was monstrous and his motivations for going along with Lionel incomprehensible.
