'Lemon' is a term used for a certain type of anime (Japanese animation) 
based fanfiction. Basically a sex based fanfiction about an anime show. 
The name was derived from an anime called 'Cream Lemon', which was 
basically an anime based on sex. Cream Lemon was not episodic - every 
episode stood totally alone, often with new characters, always with new 
stories, often crossing genres (actually there were occasional mini-
series). The only point in common in all episodes was that they 
contained a sexual act - which was basically the point.

The term has sometimes spread to other forms of fanfic besides anime-
based.
