ILG = Industrious Little Gnome. This was bestowed on our own Priscellie, who first came to Jim's (JB's ;) ) attention by assembling a TDF timeline and has since proven to be an invaluable right-hand women for him, to the point that many people think she's Jim's publicist :D .

WttJ = Welcome to the Jungle, the original DF Prequel Graphic Novel.

Edit:  I might recommend breaking the book (and WttJ) acronyms out into their own section, and maybe throw in a Color for the section titles.

Thanks Serack, I've added WttJ and edited the TT with the link.

Thank you DoTArchon for doing this. If someone else has/had done it on another part of the boards it wouldn't matter as I only go on the spoilers part because it's the bit that intrigues me.

Although I don't get exposed to the discussions enough, I have seen HIB before and had to have it explained.  GC can also be Grey Council.

I haven't seen most of those others used in convo.

Added Grey Council. Also haven't seen some of them used, or used often. Edited OP to ask that only actively used abbreviations be listed here.

This is why I would pay attention to the usage of "GG" after the release of GS to see if it has staying power.  It might only be used for the prerelease of chapter 5 and then never again.  OTOH, (heh I used another acronym) "Grey Cloak" was used within the first few chapters of WN, and percisted through the book until he was named in the final battle.  

EBG might fall into one of the slightly obscure ones, but I know it's turned me for a loop a few times (which might be explained by it's obscurity).  I'm concerned that the dresden files section is getting very crouded, which is partially why I suggested that you break out the acronyms for the works out into their own section.  You might also consider making a section for "Obscure DF character abreviations"  For toons that showed up in one book and were gone like EBG.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I've seen HHWB's boss, as named in BR abreviated... isn't  he, Lord of Slowest Terror?  Hmmm pretty sure I never had a mental double take at "LOST" though...

so this really isn't used much around the boards due to lack of... well, fangirls and fanshippers, but idk, I thought it may be helpful too? It's helpful around fanfictions for the most part, anyway.

Hari-Kari: Harry/Murphy Shipping, as coined by Priscellie :D
"Pink Court": Thomas/Susan
"The Spanish Inquisition"/Marlos: Molly/Carlos
Drolly: Harry/Molly

(mostly grabbed from Priscellie/this thread here: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,20073.15.html)
...that's about it, the current 'known' nicknames for these fanshippings, mockery or not. Someone may shoot me, but I ship... ships, so yeah. xD
