Fanfic

An abreviation of fanfiction. It can also be shortened to 'fic'. It is commonly found around fangirls or fansites.

Fanfics are fictional stories written about pre-existing books/films/animes/mangas/etc by fans of this work. A Disclaimer is included as standard, stating in some way or another that they do not own the characters they are writing about.

Some authors (e.g. J.K. Rowling) have encouraged fanfics on the grounds that publishing is not attempted (this will always result in a law suit, something the authors of fanfics have generally accepted). However, other authors (e.g. Anne Rice) have requested that fanfics based around their stories(etc) are not posted on fanfiction sites. These such authors are more commonly known as Kill Joys (see bitching).
