"Origfic" is a widely used internet slang term in fandom and writing communities that refers to original fiction written by authors who primarily or historically write fanfiction. The term distinguishes wholly original stories, characters, and worldbuilding from derivative fanworks based on pre-existing intellectual properties. Writers often use origfic as a stepping stone or parallel creative outlet to test stories that do not rely on established fandom canons. In online discussions, the term carries specific community connotations regarding self-publishing, web-serial platforms, and the transition from fan-driven writing to commercial original publishing.
- Example
-
— Are you still posting chapters for that fandom AU, or are you focusing on your book? — I'm officially putting all my energy into my new origfic because I actually want to try publishing it traditionally one day. — That sounds super exciting, what's the core premise of the original world?
The exhausted author stared at their document at 3 AM, desperately trying to invent a magic system for their origfic instead of just recycling Harry Potter lore.
— Do you think people who read my fanfic will automatically like my origfic? — Honestly some will cross over, but original fiction readers have completely different expectations for pacing and exposition. — Guess I better make sure the first chapter slaps without needing a five-page lore primer.
