I've just found this really great site which has lots of useful little terms.

This website is just so interesting. As you can see I've been reading about the term "Mary Sue" in relation to characterisation. The amount of terms that I never in knew existed is staggering. This has really changed my approach to story telling, as I read about new terms I saw that many movies and stories I read had used a lot of the cliches listed on the website
It's incredible how many modern terms are being created. Just look at this one originating from the game super mario:
"Your Princess Is in Another Castle" - basically used to trick the audiences into thinking the heroes have reached the end of the story when infact there is still much more to go.
It's really interesting to see how the fans have interpreted the stories and made so many wierd terms to fit almost every type of plot. Wether most of these terms are relevant is another story however...
