LORE & ORIGIN

Wiktionary defines it as a fandom-slang compound of band and fic. Wikipedia's real person fiction article names bandfic among terms used before RPF became common and traces band-based stories to at least the 1970s, with Led Zeppelin fanzine stories in 1977. Fanlore, as summarised in search results, treats it as a subset of RPF.
