REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""I wrote this for the monthly challenge; the prompt was 'a letter never sent'.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Wikipedia's Fan fiction article describes a fic exchange as "an organized challenge in which participants create fan fiction for other participants", which documents challenge-based writing. It does not mention the phrase "challenge fic", and no other source was opened for it (Fanlore returned HTTP 403). No coiner or first use is known.
