I feel like some of these terms originated in fanfic -- Mary Sue, at least. Not sure about the others.
When I was getting my doctorate in Comp Lit, we'd use terms like dystopian, exposition, and omniscient POV, but never info dump or head hopping. I discovered those online. (And I love the term head hopping because it gives me a way to pinpoint something that drives me crazy. No way I'm giving that up!)
