Notice-Me-Not is just a fanon thing? Noooo :-O

I was just searching for info on the Notice-Me-Not charm, and there isn't any, because it's a FANON INVENTION. NOOO! Really? The first webpage I found where someone was asking about it, had some smartarse saying "I think you'll find that's just a sad FAN FICTION thing, you poor deluded fool", I was smirking away: "heh, that's what you think, I have seen it in LOADS OF.....er.... loads of fics. Err. Ahem."

Did you all know this? Who made it up? What other fanon things have become so widespread that they can fool us like this? I know about Tempus, but can you tell me any others?

Really? I did not know that. I've never seen "Apparation" used in the books or any other online references, only in fics. And it always struck me as wrong looking. But then again... I only have one English version of the books. :)
