There seems to be a universal misunderstanding of the term 
'continuation'. When I used the term to describe a certain type of fic 
(such as Shampoo 1/2), I am referring to a fic that never ends, or a 
'never-ending fic'.

When a fic has several dozen huge chapters that seem to have nothing or 
little to do with anything important, you know you have a 'continuation' 
fic. These are worthless.

This definition of "continuation 'fic" is radically out of step
with the actual use of the term by the remainder of the FFML 
community.

I suggest you adjust your terminology; the Societe' Francais proved
(through futile effort) that you can't hold back the tide of 
common usage in language.
