Meanings
-
(uncountable) The domain of fan fiction and/or fanficcers.
It applies particularly in fanficdom. I used to run an XF archive, and I once recieved^([sic]) three requests in as many weeks for author's names to be removed because their bosses had been wandering a little too close to their corner of cyberspace or because a reader had contacted them in RL.
