Meaning of profic

Noun

profic (countable and uncountable, plural profics)

  1. (slang, uncountable) Professionally published fiction, especially tie-in fiction based on a media property.
    • Fanfic is not competition. I read what interests me--and the profic ain't interesting, at least not anymore. (Except books with Vulcans. Lots and lots of Vulcans. I like Vulcans. You put out anything with Vulcans, and I'm likely to buy it, even if I read negative reviews of it. I love Vulcans.)...1998 August 13, Laura Jacquez Valentine, “Copyright violation for fun and no profit?”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet)
  2. (countable, slang) A work of professionally published fiction.
    • BTW: there are some profics that I enjoy, but most of them I wonder if the author knows anything about TOS!!!! And I extend that to Bill Shatner's post-Nexus stories - there are some lovely moments, but I really don't care for his Kirk, Spock, and McCoy many times.1999 November 28, Islao...@aol.com, “Dating Gary Mitchell”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet)
