I have decided to instigate a Campaign For The Preservation Of The Real Meaning Of "Gen". Please, when you find people using "gen" to mean "no romance", please gently point them towards the definition of gen, and tell them that the word that they are looking for is noromo. The problem with arguing with people about the real meaning of gen in the past has been that people weren't aware of the perfectly good word "noromo" which could be used instead. Mind you, I am being deliberately subversive, because people haven't been using "noromo" to refer to fic so much as to people who liked fic of a particular kind, but it is the perfect word for this newfangled faux-gen that people seem to think is gen. Don't let them muddy the definitions -- give them a word of their own!
