K

kack·no·sis: slang, n. Term used to describe hypnosis when used (and apparently abused) in a mind control story in an over-the-top manner; usu. involving the employment of large numbers of post-hypnotic suggestions that activate when the subject hears certain words or phrases; overlong induction scenes that include long, involved count-downs (i.e., a seven-paragraph sequenced beginning with a line similar to When I count down from three...); overuse of textual word stretching (i.e., deeeeeeeeeeeeper); etc.

Origin: this term came about when MCForum members Bankington and bobwhite were in a busy chatroom, discussing story formats they found generally annoying. The subject of hypnosis stories came up at the same time as hack writers were being discussed, and Bankington accidentally typed "kack stories" instead of "hack stories." Several lines later, "kack-" replaced "hyp-" in "hypnosis," and a new word was born.
