What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ FANDOM ][ FANFICTION ]

A fanfiction label for a story written to mock, punish or portray a character in a deliberately negative light, a fan-fiction counterpart to "character bashing". It is a weak, thinly documented term: no source opened here defines it directly.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""That story is pure bashfic; the author clearly hates her and it shows in every scene.""

LORE & ORIGIN

No page opened for this entry defines "bashfic": Wiktionary has no entry (HTTP 404) and Fanlore returned HTTP 403. Wikipedia's Fan fiction article, which was opened, does not mention it. The meaning above is inferred from the "-fic" suffix pattern and the existing corpus entry for character bashing, not from a cited definition. No coiner or first use is known.
