MICE

1. (Or 'mouse') Acronym for
Missing (an) Important Canon Event, and is used when describing fanfiction.

It means that the story may use the entire canon universe from the original show/movie/etc, but one crucial event has been left out for plot reasons. Y'know, like undoing the canon death of your main character, and all that.

2. to mice/mouse something: To leave out a crucial fact for one's own purposes/advantages

Example one: "MICE fanfiction of Harry Potter: In this fanfiction, Harry's parents are never killed by You-Know-Who"

Example two: "Geepers, my mother-in-law just moused out the fact that her daughter and I ever got married - treated me like a total stranger."
